A D A D
I have a friend, he's mostly made of pain
A D A D
He wakes up, drives to work and straight back home again
A D A D
He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
A D A D
I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover
E A D
And I tried to tell him that he had a sense
E A D
Of color and composition so magnificent
D E D E
And he said thank you, please, but your flattery
D E D E
It is truly not becoming me
D E D E
Your eyes are poor, you're blind, you see
D E D E
No beauty ever could have come from me
A D
I'm a waste
A D
Of breath,
A D
of space,
A D
of time
A D
A D A D
I knew a woman, she was dignified and true
A D A D
Her love for her man was one of her many virtues
A D A D
Until one day she found out that he had lied
A D A D
And decided the rest of her life from that point on would be a lie
E A D
She was grateful for everything that had happened
E A D
And she was anxious for all that would come next
D E D E
But then she wept, what did you expect?
D E D E
In that big old house with the car she kept
D E D E
And, "Such is life," she often said
D E D E
With one day leading to the next
D E D E
You get a little closer to your death
D E D E
Which was fine with her, she never got upset
D E D E
And with all the days she may have left
D E D E
She would never clean another mess
D E D E
Or fold his shirts or look her best
A D
She was free
A D
To waste
A D
away
A D
alone
A D
A D
A D A D
Last night my brother he got drunk and drove
A D A D
And this cop pulled him off to the side of the road
A D A D
And he said, "Officer, officer, you've got the wrong man
A D A D
No, no, I'm a student of medicine, a son of a banker, you don't understand"
E A D
The cop said, "No one got hurt, you should be thankful
E A D
Your carelessness, it is truly something awful
D E D E
And no, I can't just let you go
D E D E
even though your father's name is known
D E D E
Your decisions now are yours alone
D E D E
You're nothing but a stepping stone
A D
On a path
A D
To debt,
A D
to loss
A D
to shame
A D
A D A D
The last few months I've been living with this couple
A D A D
Yeah, you know the kind who buy everything in doubles
A D A D
Yeah, they fit together like a puzzle
A D A D
I love their love, and I am thankful
E A D
That someone actually received the prize that was promised
E A D
By all those fairy tales that drugged us
D E D E
And still do me, I'm sick, lonely
D E D E
No laurel tree, just green envy
D D E
Will my number come up eventually?
D E D E
Like love's some kind of lottery
D E D E
Where you scratch and see what's underneath
A D
It's sorry,
A D
just one cherry
A D
I'll play again
A D
get lucky
A D
A D A D
So now I hang out down by the train's depot
A D A D
No, I don't ride, I just sit and watch the people there
A D A D
They remind me of windup cars in motion
A D A D
The way they spin and turn and jockey (or jerk each other off) for positions
E A D
And I want to scream out that it all is nonsense
E A D
And their life's one track and can't they see it's pointless?
D E D E
But just then my knees give under me
D E D E
My head feels weak and suddenly
D E D E
It's clear to see it's not them but me
D E
Who's lost my self-identity
D E
And I hide behind these books I read
D E
While scribbling my poetry
D E
Like art could save a wretch like me
D E
With some ideal ideology
D E
That no one could hope to achieve
D E D E
And I'm never real, it's just a sketch of me
D E D E D
And everything I've made is trite and cheap
A D
And a waste
A D
Of paint
A D
of tape
A D
of time
A D
A D
A D A D
So I park my car down by the cathedral
A D A D
Where the floodlights point up at the steeples
A D A D
Choir practice is filling up with people
A D A D
I hear the sound escaping as an echo
A D A D
Sloping off the ceiling at an angle
A D A D
When the voices blend they sound like angels
A D A D
I hope there's some room still in the middle
E A D
But when I lift my voice up now to reach them
E A D
The range is too high way up in heaven
D E D E
So I hold my tongue, forget the song
D E D E
Tie my shoes, start walking off
D E D E
And try to just keep moving on
D E D E
With my broken heart and my absent God
D E D E
And I have no faith and it's all I want
A D
to be loved,
A D
and to love
A D
and believe
A D
In my soul
A D A D A D A D
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
A D A D A D A D
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
