Intro

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