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