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
