Bright Eyes Album : Fevers & Mirrors SONG - A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace Tablature by Matt <dumbjaw@home.com> - 03/19/01 Am7 - X02010 Am7/F# - 202010 G - 320033 C - X30210 F# - 224432 B7 - X21201 E - 022100 D7 - XX0212 D7sus4 - XX0213 Am7 Am7/F# You turn on a spindle
You are so much Glooser now But you're Cnot explaining how You F#gained such B7new reEpose
Am7 Am7/F# I touch the clasp of your locket
With its Gpicture held Some Csecret you wouldn't tell But F#let it B7choke your Eneck
Am7 Am7/F# So we imagine a darkness
Where all Gshapes divide Solids Cchanging into light With a F#burst of B7heat so Ebright
EWell 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 To Ammake Cmy D7moods D7sus4immmmmmGprove
Am7 Am7/F# And near a sea of pianos
There were Gwaves of chords That Ccrashed against the shore In one F#huge and B7pointless Eroar
Am7 Am7/F# And there were girls bringing water
Like a Gdream they came To cool the Cfever of my brain And F#soothe my B7burning Ethroat
Am7 Am7/F# And they made me a necklace
Hanging Gbeads of sweat On a Cstring of my regrets And F#placed it B7'round my Eneck
EAnd 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 And your AmconCstant D7need D7sus4forrrr Gproof

Here is a Cscale, weigh it out and you will find easily More than Emsufficient doubt that these colors you see Were Ampicked in advance by some careful hand With an Fabsolute concept of Gbeauty They are Csmeared and these blurs come in random order To Emcolor the eyes of your former lovers Hers were Amgreen like July except when she cried F They were FreGd
Now I Cknow a disease that these doctors can't treat You Emcontract it the day you accept all you see Is a Ammirror and a mirror is all it can be A reFflection of something we're Gmissing And Clanguage just happened, it was never planned And it's Eminadequate to describe where I am In the Amroom of my house where the light has never been FWaiting for this day to Gend
And these Fclocks keep unwinding and Gcompletely ignore EmEverything that we Amhate or adore Once the Fpage of a calendar is Gturned it's no more So Emtell me then, what was it Amfor? Oh Ftell me, Gwhat was it Cfor?

Does he kiss your F#meyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head? And does he C#sing to you incessantly from the place between your bed and wall? Does he F#mwalk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes? Looking C#down every few steps to pretend he walks with you? Does he F#mknow that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched? And does he C#cry through broken sentences like "I love you far too much"?
BmDoes he lay Eawake listeAning to your Dbreath? BmWorried that Eyou smoke too Amany cigaDrettes? Is he Ecoughing now on a F#mbathroom floor? For every Especk of tile there are a F#mthousand more That you won't Eever see But must Ahold Einside Dyourself eEternallF#my C# F# C#
I drug your F#mghost across the country and we plotted out my death In every C#city, memories would whisper "Here is where you rest" I was deF#mtermined in Chicago But I dug my teeth into my knees And I C#settled for a telephone Sang into your machine &F#mquot;You are my sunshine, My only C#sunshine. F#mYou are my sunshine My only C#sunshine"

I F#mkissed a girl with a broken jaw That her father gave to her She had eyes C#bright enough to burn me They reminded me of yours And in a F#mstory told she was a little girl In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field And there were C#rows of ripe tomatoes Where a secret was concealed And it F#mrose like thunder Clapped under our C#hands And it F#mstretched for centuries To a diary entry's C#end where I wrote &F#mquot;You make me happy (WHAT?) When the skies are C#gray F#mYou make me happy (WHAT?) When skies are C#gray and gray and gray"
Well the cBmlock's heart it Ehangs inside Aits open Dchest With hands Bmstretched towards the Ecalendar Ahanging itDself But I Ewill not weep for those F#mdying days For all the Eones who've left there are a F#mfew that stayed And they Efound me here and Apulled me Efrom the Dgrass E F#m E F#m E... Where I was laid

FNow and Cagain it seems Gworse than it Amis But Fmostly the Cview is Gaccurate. You see your Fbreath in the Cair as you Gclimb up the Amstairs to that Fcoffin you Ccall your Gapartment.
And you Amsink in your Echair Brush the Csnow from your Ghair And Cdrink the Gcold Faway
You are Amnot really Esure What you're Cdoing this Ffor But you need Csomething to Gfill up the Fdays A Amfew more Ehours
C G Am C G Am
There is a Fdream in my Cbrain that just Gwon't go Amaway It's been Fstuck there since it Ccame a few Gnights ago And I'm Fstanding on a Cbridge in the Gtown where I Amlived As a Fkid with my Cmom and my Gbrothers
And then the Ambridge disaEppears And I'm Cstanding on Gair With Cnothing Gholding Fme
And I Amhang like a Estar Fucking Cglow in the Gdark For all those Cstarving Geyes to Fsee Like the Amones we've Ewished on
But Cnow I'm conGfused Is this Amdeath really Fyou? CAnd do these Gdreams have any Ammeaning?
No, no, I think it is mCore like a gGhost That's been Amfollowing us Fboth C Something Gvague that we're not Amseein FSomething Cmore like a Dfeeling

You F#follow the Afootsteps Echoes Eleading down a Ahall To a F#room, there's music Aplaying Tiny Ebells with moving Aparts
Here the F#shadows make things Augly An Eeffect quite undesiraAble The F#bold and yellow Adaylight Grows like Eivy across the Awall
And Dbounces Eoff of the Apainted porcelain DTiny Edancing Adoll Her Dbody Espins as she Apirouettes again The Dworld suddenEly seems F#small A E A
On an F#off-white subtle Amorning You Estretch your legs in the front Aseat The F#road has made a Avacuum Where our Evoices used to Abe And you F#lay your head onto my Ashoulder Pour like Ewater over Ame
So if I Djust exEist for the Anext ten minutes of this DDrive that Ewould be Afine And Dall the Etrees that Aline this curb would be ReDjoicing Eand alF#ive A E A
Soon Dall the Ejoy that Apours from everything makes DFountains Eof your Aeyes Because you Dfinally EunderAstand the movement of a DHand waving Eyou goodF#bye A E A

C#mThe fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets And they will G#sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket That Ekind of gold washes offC#m
And the C#msad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows They long to G#ring bells of warning to tell of their coming So that the Epure can shut their doorsC#m
And the C#mangry are animals, senseless and savage They G#act without order in logical lapses They Estain their mouths with bloodC#m
So F#mtake my hand, this barren land is aC#mlive tonight Oh, the F#mcorn has grown stalks that form a C#mwall to hide The wind F#mcarries sounds that I can't see from beC#myond that line Then the Bstalks Abegin to G#sway Oh, C#stay with me, BArAieG#nette Until the wolves are aC#mway YUP A G# C#m A G#
Well the C#mwicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons They G#circle in sunlight and wait for their victims To coEllapse and call to theC#mm
And the C#mdesperate are water, they'll run down forever As they G#soak into silence and end up together In a Edark and distant, dark and distant C#mplace
So don't F#mleave me here with only mirrors C#mwatching me This F#mhouse, it holds nothing but the C#mmemories And the F#mmoon, it leaves silver but C#mnever sleep And then the Bsilver Aturns to G#gray So C#stay with me, BArAieG#nette Until the wolves are C#maway

I Cstarted this letter, I'm gonna Gsend it to Ruba It will be Dmblessed by her eyes on the Ggulf coast of Florida With her Cfeet in the sand and one Ghand on her swimsuit She will Amrecite the prayer of my Gpen
Saying, Ctime take us forward, Grelief from this longing They can Dmland that plane on my Gheart. I don't care Just Cgive me November, the Gwarmth of a whisper In the Amfreezing darkness of my Groom
But no matter Dmwhat I would Gdo in an atCtempt to reAmplace All these Dmpills that I Gtake trying to Cbalance my Ambrain Seen the Dmcurious Ggirl with that Clook on her Amface So Csurprised she stares out from Gher display Ccase

The F#mphone Dmaj7slips from a Aloose Bmgrip F#mWords were Dmaj7missed, then some AapoloBmgy
I F#mdidn't want to Dmaj7tell you this No, it's Ajust some guy she's Bmbeen hanging out F#mwith I don't Dmaj7know, the past couple Aweeks, I gueBmss
F#mThank you and hang Dmaj7up the phone Let the Afuneral start, hear the Bmcasket close Let's pin F#msplit-black Dmaj7ribbon to your Aovercoat Bm
The F#mlaughter pours from Dmaj7under doors in this Ahouse I don't underBmstand that sound no F#mmore Seems Dmaj7artificial like a ATV seBmt
Well HaBmligh Haligh Haligh Haligh This Aweight, it must be satisfied You Goffer only one reply You Aknow not what you do But you Bmtear and tear your hair from roots From Athat same head you have twice removed Now a Glock of hair you said would prove Our Alove would never die, well hahaha
Bm
F#mI remember Dmaj7everything The Awords we spoke on Bmfreezing South Street And F#mall those mornings Dmaj7watching you Aget ready for Bmschool
You F#mcombed your hair inDmaj7side that mirror The one you Apainted blue and Bmglued with jewelry tears F#mSomething about those Dmaj7bright colors would always Amake you feel betBmter
F#mBut now we speak with Dmaj7ruined tongues And the Awords we say aren't Bmmeant for anyone F#mIt's just a mumbled Dmaj7sentence to a Apassing acquainBmtance but there was once you
F#mYou said you hate my Dmaj7suffering And you Aunderstood and Bmyou'd take care of me F#mYou'd would always Dmaj7be there, well Awhere are you now? Bm
BmHaligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh The Aplans were never finalized But Gleft to hang like yarn and twine DangAling before my eyes
As you Bmtear and tear your hair from roots From Athat same head that you have twice removed Now a Glock of hair you said would prove Our Alove would never die
And I Bmsing and sing of awful things The Apleasure that my sadness brings And my Gfingers press onto the strings Yet Aanother clumsy chord
BmHaligh, Haligh, an awful lie This Aweight will now be satisfied I'm gonna Ggive you only one reply I Aknow not who I am
But I Bmtalk in the mirror To the Astranger that appears Our conversations are Gcircles Always one Gsided Nothing is Aclear
Except we Bmkeep coming back To this Ameaning that I lack He says the choices were Ggiven Now you must Glive them Or just not Alive
But do you want Bmthat?

GAt the center of the Bmworld there's a statue of a Amgirl She is standing near a Cwell with a Dbucket bare and Gdry I went and looked her in the Bmeyes and she turned me into Amsand This clumsy form that I desCpise, it scattered Deasy in her Ghand
It came to rest upon a Bmbeach with a million others Amthere We sat and waited for the Csea to stretch out so that Dwe could disapGpear Into the endlessness of Bmblue into the horror of the Amtruth See, we are far less than we Cknew, yeah, we are Dfar less than we Emknew
EmBut we knew what we could Ctaste EmGirls found honey to drench our hands The men cut marble to mark our Bgraves
BSaid we'll need something to reGmind us of All the sweetness that has Bpassed through us The priests dressed children for a Emchoir But found no joy in what was Bsung BThe Cfuneral Dhad DbeGgun
GIn the middle of the Bmday when you drive home to your Amplace From that job that makes you Csleep back to the Dthoughts that keep you aGwake Long after night has come to Bmclaim any light that still reAmmains In the corner of the Cframe that you Dput around her Gface
Two Bmpills just weren't enough The Amalarm clock's going off but you're not waking up This isnt Chappening happening happening happening Dhappening It is G

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
But Eeverything you do Is Eleading to the point E Am G#? Am G#? Where you just won't know what to do
And Eat that moment you may laugh But Ethere is someone there Who will be laughing Elouder than Amyou
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#?

Well, Gsummer's gonna come, it's gonna cAloud our eyes aF#mgain No need to focus when there's Gnothing that's worth Aseeing
So we trade Dliquor for F#mblood in an atGtempt to tip the Ascales I think you Dlost what you F#mloved in that Gmess of deAtails They seemed so imF#mportant at the time but Gnow you can't even recall F#mAny of the names, faces, or lines, it's more the Gfeeling of it Aall
Well, Gwinter's gonna end, it's gonna Aclean these veins again F#mSo close to dying that I Gfinally can start Aliving

There is a Emiddle-aged woman, she's F#mdragging her feet She carries G#mbaskets of clothes to a F#mlaundromat While the EMexican children kick F#mrocks into the street And they G#mlaugh in a language I don't F#munderstand But I love Athem... why do I love Ethem?
So the Eneighborhood's dimming, I F#msmoke on the porch Watch the G#mpeople as they pass enclosed inF#mside their cars And on their Efaces just anger or F#mdisappointment I start G#mwishing there was something I could F#moffer them A Aconsolation... what could I offer Ethem?
And they are Esad in their suburbs, robots F#mwater the lawn And G#meverything they touch gets dusted F#mspotless And so they Estart to believe they've not touched F#manything at all And the G#mcars in the driveway only F#mmultiply
They are Elost in their houses, I've heard them F#msing in the shower Making G#mspeeches to their sister on the F#mtelephone Saying you come Ehome, you come here, don't stay so F#mfar away from me This G#mweather has me wanting love more F#mtangible Something I can Ahold... it's getting Ecold
I say F#mhold up our Efists to a Bflame in the Asky To F#mblock out the Elight that's reachBing for our Aeyes 'Cause it... 'cause it would Eblind us,A yeah it will Eblind us
Well I've Elocked my actions in the F#mgrooves of routine So I may G#mnever be free of this F#mapathy But I Ewait for a letter that's F#mcoming to me She sends me G#mpictures of the ocean in an F#menvelope
So there still is Ehope, yes, I can be healed There is someone F#mlooking for what I've concealed In my secret G#mdrawer, in my pockets deep You will find the F#mreasons that I can't sleep And you will still want Ame... but will you still want Eme? AWill you still want Eme?
Well, I say F#mcome for the Eweek, you can Bsleep in my Abed And F#mpass through my Elife like a Bdream through my Ahead It will... it will be Eeasy,A I'll make it Eeasy
But all I Ehave for the moment is a F#msong to pass the time A G#mmelody to keep me from F#mworrying Some Esimple progression to keep my F#mfingers busy And G#mwords that are sure to come F#mback to me And they'll be laughAing... and they'll be laughEing AMy mediocriEty AMy mediocriEty
A E A E...
