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