[Verse]
Am7 Am7/F# You turn on a spindle
G You are so much looser now
C But you're not explaining how
F# B7 E You gained such new repose
Am7 Am7/F# I touch the clasp of your locket
G With its picture held
C Some secret you wouldn't tell
F# B7 E But let it choke your neck
Am7 Am7/F# So we imagine a darkness
G Where all shapes divide
C Solids changing into light
F# B7 E With a burst of heat so bright
E Well fine
Am7 Am7/F# G C Don't you do what I want you to
Am7 Am7/F# G C Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
Am7 Am7/F# G C 'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit that I use
Am C D7 D7sus4 G To make my moods immmmmmprove
Am7 Am7/F# And near a sea of pianos
G There were waves of chords
C That crashed against the shore
F# B7 E In one huge and pointless roar
Am7 Am7/F# And there were girls bringing water
G Like a dream they came
C To cool the fever of my brain
F# B7 E And soothe my burning throat
Am7 Am7/F# And they made me a necklace
G Hanging beads of sweat
C On a string of my regrets
F# B7 E And placed it 'round my neck
E And they were singing
Am7 Am7/F# G C Don't you do what you've wanted to
Am7 Am7/F# G C Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
Am7 Am7/F# G C And maybe the sun keeps coming up 'cause it's gotten used to you
Am C D7 D7sus4 G And your constant need forrrr proof
[Verse]
C Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily
Em More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
Am Were picked in advance by some careful hand
F G With an absolute concept of beauty
C They are smeared and these blurs come in random order
Em To color the eyes of your former lovers
Am F Hers were green like July except when she cried
F G They were red
C Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat
Em You contract it the day you accept all you see
Am Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
F G A reflection of something we're missing
C And language just happened, it was never planned
Em And it's inadequate to describe where I am
Am In the room of my house where the light has never been
F G Waiting for this day to end
F G And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
Em Am Everything that we hate or adore
F G Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
Em Am So tell me then, what was it for?
F G C Oh tell me, what was it for?
[Verse]
F#m Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning
when you start to raise your head?
C# And does he sing to you incessantly
from the place between your bed and wall?
F#m Does he walk around all day at school
with his feet inside your shoes?
C# Looking down every few steps
to pretend he walks with you?
F#m Does he know that place below your neck
that is your favorite to be touched?
C# And does he cry through broken sentences
like "I love you far too much"?
Bm E A D Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
Bm E A D Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes?
E F#m Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
E F#m For every speck of tile there are a thousand more
E That you won't ever see
A E D E F#m C# F# C# But must hold inside yourself eternally
F#m I drug your ghost across the country
and we plotted out my death
C# In every city, memories would whisper
"Here is where you rest"
F#m I was determined in Chicago
But I dug my teeth into my knees
C# And I settled for a telephone
Sang into your machine
F#m "You are my sunshine,
C# My only sunshine.
F#m You are my sunshine
C# My only sunshine"
Bm E A D Bm E A D E F# E F# E A E D E
F#m I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
C# She had eyes bright enough to burn me
They reminded me of yours
F#m And in a story told she was a little girl
In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
C# And there were rows of ripe tomatoes
Where a secret was concealed
F#m And it rose like thunder
C# Clapped under our hands
F#m And it stretched for centuries
C# To a diary entry's end where I wrote
F#m "You make me happy (WHAT?)
C# When the skies are gray
F#m You make me happy (WHAT?)
C# When skies are gray and gray and gray"
Bm E A D Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest
Bm E A D With hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
E F#m But I will not weep for those dying days
E F#m For all the ones who've left there are a few that stayed
E A E D And they found me here and pulled me from the grass
E F#m E F#m E... Where I was laid
[Verse]
F C G Am Now and again it seems worse than it is
F C G But mostly the view is accurate.
F C G Am You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs
F C G to that coffin you call your apartment.
Am E And you sink in your chair
C G Brush the snow from your hair
C G F And drink the cold away
Am E You are not really sure
C F What you're doing this for
C G F But you need something to fill up the days
Am E A few more hours
C G Am C G Am
F C G Am There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away
F C G It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
F C G Am And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
F C G As a kid with my mom and my brothers
Am E And then the bridge disappears
C G And I'm standing on air
C G F With nothing holding me
Am E And I hang like a star
C G Fucking glow in the dark
C G F For all those starving eyes to see
Am E Like the ones we've wished on
C G But now I'm confused
Am F Is this death really you?
C G Am And do these dreams have any meaning?
C G No, no, I think it is more like a ghost
Am F That's been following us both
C G Am Something vague that we're not seein
F C D Something more like a feeling
F G C F# A E F# [Verse]
F# A You follow the footsteps
E A Echoes leading down a hall
F# A To a room, there's music playing
E A Tiny bells with moving parts
F# A Here the shadows make things ugly
E A An effect quite undesirable
F# A The bold and yellow daylight
E A Grows like ivy across the wall
D E A And bounces off of the painted porcelain
D E A Tiny dancing doll
D E A Her body spins as she pirouettes again
D E F# A E A The world suddenly seems small
F# A On an off-white subtle morning
E A You stretch your legs in the front seat
F# A The road has made a vacuum
E A Where our voices used to be
F# A And you lay your head onto my shoulder
E A Pour like water over me
D E A So if I just exist for the next ten minutes of this
D E A Drive that would be fine
D E A And all the trees that line this curb would be
D E F# A E A Rejoicing and alive
D E A Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes
D E A Fountains of your eyes
D E A Because you finally understand the movement of a
D E F# A E A Hand waving you goodbye
F# A E A [Verse]
C#m The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
G# And they will sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
E C#m That kind of gold washes off
C#m And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows
G# They long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
E C#m So that the pure can shut their doors
C#m And the angry are animals, senseless and savage
G# They act without order in logical lapses
E C#m They stain their mouths with blood
F#m C#m So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight
F#m C#m Oh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall to hide
F#m C#m The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line
B A G# Then the stalks begin to sway
C# B A G# Oh, stay with me, Arienette
C#m Until the wolves are away
A G# C#m A G# YUP
C#m Well the wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons
G# They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims
E C#m To collapse and call to them
C#m And the desperate are water, they'll run down forever
G# As they soak into silence and end up together
E C#m In a dark and distant, dark and distant place
F#m C#m So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me
F#m C#m This house, it holds nothing but the memories
F#m C#m And the moon, it leaves silver but never sleep
B A G# And then the silver turns to gray
C# B A G# So stay with me, Arienette
C#m Until the wolves are away
C G Dm G C G Am Am G G [Verse]
C G Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
Dm G And making him take me back down to the water
C G That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
Am Am G I will not desert him, I will not desert him
Dm G C Am No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
Dm G C Am Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
Dm G C Am I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
C G C The sky that has been avoiding me
C G I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
Dm G It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
C G With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
Am G She will recite the prayer of my pen
C G Saying, time take us forward, relief from this longing
Dm G They can land that plane on my heart. I don't care
C G Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
Am G In the freezing darkness of my room
Dm G C Am But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
Dm G C Am All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain
Dm G C Am Seen the curious girl with that look on her face
C G C So surprised she stares out from her display case
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm F#m Dmaj7 A Bm [Verse]
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm The phone slips from a loose grip
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm Words were missed, then some apology
F#m Dmaj7 I didn't want to tell you this
A Bm F#m No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with
Dmaj7 A Bm I don't know, the past couple weeks, I guess
F#m Dmaj7 Thank you and hang up the phone
A Bm Let the funeral start, hear the casket close
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm Let's pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat
F#m Dmaj7 A The laughter pours from under doors in this house
Bm F#m I don't understand that sound no more
Dmaj7 A Bm Seems artificial like a TV set
Bm Well Haligh Haligh Haligh Haligh
A This weight, it must be satisfied
G You offer only one reply
A You know not what you do
Bm But you tear and tear your hair from roots
A From that same head you have twice removed
G Now a lock of hair you said would prove
A Our love would never die, well hahaha
Bm
F#m Dmaj7 I remember everything
A Bm The words we spoke on freezing South Street
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm And all those mornings watching you get ready for school
F#m Dmaj7 You combed your hair inside that mirror
A Bm The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better
F#m Dmaj7 But now we speak with ruined tongues
A Bm And the words we say aren't meant for anyone
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance but there was once you
F#m Dmaj7 You said you hate my suffering
A Bm And you understood and you'd take care of me
F#m Dmaj7 A Bm You'd would always be there, well where are you now?
Bm Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
A The plans were never finalized
G But left to hang like yarn and twine
A Dangling before my eyes
Bm As you tear and tear your hair from roots
A From that same head that you have twice removed
G Now a lock of hair you said would prove
A Our love would never die
Bm And I sing and sing of awful things
A The pleasure that my sadness brings
G And my fingers press onto the strings
A Yet another clumsy chord
Bm Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
A This weight will now be satisfied
G I'm gonna give you only one reply
A I know not who I am
Bm But I talk in the mirror
A To the stranger that appears
G Our conversations are circles
G Always one sided
A Nothing is clear
Bm Except we keep coming back
A To this meaning that I lack
G He says the choices were given
G Now you must live them
A Or just not live
Bm But do you want that?
[Verse]
G Bm Am At the center of the world there's a statue of a girl
C D G She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
Bm Am I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
C D G This clumsy form that I despise, it scattered easy in her hand
Bm Am It came to rest upon a beach with a million others there
C D G We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out so that we could disappear
Bm Am Into the endlessness of blue into the horror of the truth
C D Em See, we are far less than we knew, yeah, we are far less than we knew
Em C But we knew what we could taste
Em Girls found honey to drench our hands
B The men cut marble to mark our graves
B G Said we'll need something to remind us of
B All the sweetness that has passed through us
Em The priests dressed children for a choir
B But found no joy in what was sung
B C D D G The funeral had begun
G Bm Am In the middle of the day when you drive home to your place
C D G From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
Bm Am Long after night has come to claim any light that still remains
C D G In the corner of the frame that you put around her face
Bm Two pills just weren't enough
Am The alarm clock's going off but you're not waking up
C D This isnt happening happening happening happening happening
G It is
[Verse]
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Am G# Swiftly go the days
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# You wake up, then you undress
Am G# Am G# It always is the same
Am G# A sunrise and the sun sets
Am G# You are lying while you confess
Am G# Am G# Keep trying to explain
Am G# A sunrise and the sun sets
Am G# You realize, then you forget
Am G# Am G# What you have been trying to retain
E But everybody knows
E It's all about the things
E E Am G# Am G# That get stuck inside of your head
E Like the songs your roommate sings
E Or a vision of her body
E Am As she stretches out on your bed
G#? Am G# And she raised her hands in the air
Am G# Am G# Asked you, when was the last time you looked in the mirror?
Am G# Am G# 'Cause you have changed
Am G# Am G# Yeah, you've changed
Am G# Sunrise, the sun sets
Am G# You are hopeful and then you regret
Am G# Am G# The circle never breaks
Am G# With a sunrise and sunset
Am G# There's a change of heart or address
Am G# Am G# Is there nothing that remains?
Am G# For a sunrise or a sunset
Am G# You're manic or you're depressed
Am G# Am G# Will you ever feel okay?
Am G# For a sunrise or a sunset
Am G# Your lover is an actress
Am G# Am G# Did you really think she'd stay?
Am G# For a sunrise or a sunset
Am G# You're either coming or you just left
Am G#? Am G# But you're always on the way
Am G# Towards a sunrise or a sunset
Am G# A scribble or a sonnet
Am G# They are really just the same
Am G# To the sunrise or a sunset
Am G# The master and his servant
Am G# Am G# Have exactly the same fate
Am G# It's a sunrise and a sunset
Am G# From a cradle to a casket
Am G# Am G# There is no way to escape
Am G# The sunrise and the sunset
Am G# Hold your sadness like a puppet
Am G# Am G# Keep putting on the play
E But everything you do
E Is leading to the point
E Am G# Am G# Where you just won't know what to do
E And at that moment you may laugh
E But there is someone there
E Am Who will be laughing louder than you
G# So it's true
Am G# The trick is complete
Am G# Am G# You've become everything you said you never would be
Am G# Am G# You're a fool
Am G# Am G# You're a fool
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Am G# The sunrise and the sun sets
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Sunrise, the sun sets
Am G# Am G# The sunrise, the sun sets
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Go home to your apartment
Am G# Am G# Put the cassette in the tape deck
Am G# Am G# Am G# Am G# And let that fever play
Am G# Sunrise, sunset
Am G# Where are you Arienette?
Am G# Am G# Am G# Am G#
Am G# Where are you Arienette?
D F#m G A [Verse]
D F#m G A Did you expect it all to stop at the wave of your hand?
D F#m G A Like the sun is just gonna drop if it's night you demand?
D F#m G A Well, in the dark we are just air so the house might dissolve
D F#m G A Once we're gone, who's gonna care if we were ever here at all?
G A F#m Well, summer's gonna come, it's gonna cloud our eyes again
G A No need to focus when there's nothing that's worth seeing
D F#m G A So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales
D F#m G A I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details
F#m G They seemed so important at the time but now you can't even recall
F#m G A Any of the names, faces, or lines, it's more the feeling of it all
G A Well, winter's gonna end, it's gonna clean these veins again
F#m G A So close to dying that I finally can start living
D F#m G A (repeat) end on F#m [Verse]
E F#m There is a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
G#m F#m She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
E F#m While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
G#m F#m And they laugh in a language I don't understand
A E But I love them... why do I love them?
E F#m So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
G#m F#m Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
E F#m And on their faces just anger or disappointment
G#m F#m I start wishing there was something I could offer them
A E A consolation... what could I offer them?
E F#m And they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
G#m F#m And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
E F#m And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
G#m F#m And the cars in the driveway only multiply
E F#m They are lost in their houses, I've heard them sing in the shower
G#m F#m Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
E F#m Saying you come home, you come here, don't stay so far away from me
G#m F#m This weather has me wanting love more tangible
A E Something I can hold... it's getting cold
F#m E B A I say hold up our fists to a flame in the sky
F#m E B A To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
E A E 'Cause it... 'cause it would blind us, yeah it will blind us
E F#m Well I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
G#m F#m So I may never be free of this apathy
E F#m But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
G#m F#m She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
E So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
F#m There is someone looking for what I've concealed
G#m In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
F#m You will find the reasons that I can't sleep
A E And you will still want me... but will you still want me?
A E Will you still want me?
F#m E B A Well, I say come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
F#m E B A And pass through my life like a dream through my head
E A E It will... it will be easy, I'll make it easy
E F#m But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
G#m F#m A melody to keep me from worrying
E F#m Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
G#m F#m And words that are sure to come back to me
A E And they'll be laughing... and they'll be laughing
A E My mediocrity
A E My mediocrity
A E A E
