but IC swear that I would followC/G anything
if it would just get me Amout of here. F F/E

beFfore he'd ever learned Ehow to Amtalk.
And I don't Gknow what his name was,

Am I saw future once.
I was Gdrunk in a phone booth.
My Feyes were wet and red
and I could Enot tell what was Amsaid.
And through the Gscreams of the traffic
F voices carriedE saying, "I'm sorry."
On a Amday so gray, it's black inside,
watching Gchurches on TV.
In a Fcoma you don't dream,
you just Ehope that someone sits with you.
BaAmbies turn blue when they're ignored,
like the Gsky on summer days,
before you Fturn and walk away,
E it has changed you.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Am And so tonight to compensate
I Fwill, I will Gpoison myself.
Am Another coughing, shaking fit
in a Fbathroom that is Gspinning.

Verse:
the Gcity has sex with itCself, I suppose.
As the Dconcrite provides, well the Gscenery Dgrows,
and the Glonely, once bandaged, lay Cfully exposed,
having Dundressed their wounds for each other.
And there is a Gboy in the basement
with a Cfour-track machine,
he's been Dstrumming and screaming all Gnight down Dthere.
The Gtape hiss will cover the Cwords that he sings,
but then they say it's Dbetter to bury your sadness
in a Cgraveyard or garden that Gwaits for the spring
to Amawake from it's Csleep and burst into Dgreen.
Chorus:
Well, I've Gcried,
and you would Emthink I would be better for it,
but the sadness just Dsleeps
and it stays in your Cspine
for the rest of yourG life.
And I've Glearned,
and you'd Emthink I'd be something more now,
but it just goes to Dshow,
it is not what you Cknow,
it's what you were Gthinking at the time.

In a Dkitchen this quiet, I Gwaited Dfor
a Gsign or just something that Cmight reassure me
of Danything close
to Cmeaning or motion[with Greason to move].
I Amneed something I Cwant to be closeD to.)
Chorus:
And I Gscream,
(And I scream,)
but I Emstill know why I do it,
because the sound never Dstays,
it just swells and deCcays,
so what is theG point?
Why Gtry
(Why try)
to Emfight what is now so certain?
The truth is,all that I Dam
is a passing eCvent

Here, where the carpet's cool and soft,
underneath the clock,
I feel my weary heart is put to rest.
You gather around your friends,
the connection that you feel
when the night has not yet died.
You are Cnew with the promise of aEm love
you'll probably never Amfind,
and a Ftouch that you can Greally Cfeel
the brokenness iEmnside
as hope and less colAmlide.
Now Fnothing is Greal.
(You are new and near now
to someone you used to love
when you were young;
when all was gold
and you two touched
and felt the flutter underneath your skin.
You stood in glowing rooms,
the light dripping from both of you.
And nothing since has felt as radiant or real.)

Verse 1:
I spent a Gweek drinking the sunlight
of WinGetka, California,
where they Gunderstand the weight of human hearts.
You see, Gsorrow gets too heavy
and joy, it tends to hold you
with the Gfear that it eventually departs.
Chorus 1:
And the Ctruth is,
I've been Ddreaming
of some Gtired, tranquil Emplace
where the Cweather won't get Dtrapped inside my Gbones
And if Call these years of Dsearching find
one GsympatheticEm face,
then it's Cthere I'll plant these Dseeds
and make my Ghome.
Verse 2:
I spent a Gday dreaming of dying
in GMesa, Arizona,
where Gall the green of life had turned to ash.
And I Gfelt I was on fire,
with the Gthings I could have told you,
I just asGsumed that you eventually wouldG ask,
Chorus 2:
and I Cwouldn't have to Dbring up
my so Gbadly brokenEm heart,
and Call those months of Djust wanting to Gsleep.
And the Cspring, it did comeD slowly,
I Gguess it did it'sEm part.
My Cheart has thawed and Dcontinues to Gbeat.
Verse 3:
And I Gvisited my brother
on the Goutskirts of Olympia
where the Gforest and the water become Gone.
And we Gtalked about our childhood,
like a Gdream we were convinced of,
that Gperfect, peaceful street that we cameG from.
Chorus 3:
And I Cknow he heard me Dstrumming
all those Gsad and simple Emchords,
as I Csat inside my Droom
so long aGgo.
And it Churts that he's still Dshaking
the Gsecrets that wereEm told
by a Ccar closed up too Dtight
and a heart turned Gcold.
Verse 4:
And I Gwent to San Diego,
the Gbirth place of the summer,
and Gwatched the ocean dance under the Gmoon.
And there Gwas a girl I knew there,
Gone more potential lover,
I Gguess that something's got to happen Gsoon.
Chorus 4:
Because I Cknow I can't keep Dliving
in this Gdead or dying Emdream
and as I Cwatched along the Dbeach
and drank with Gher,
I Cthought about myD true love,
the Gone I reallyEm need.
With Ceyes that burn so Dbright,
they make me Gpure.
They make me Gpure.
They make me Gpure.
I Clong to Dbe with Gyou.
They make me Gpure.
They make me Gpure.
I Clong to Dbe with Gyou.

Verse 1:
the Amlanguage in the Fdimmer room
E7seems to represent its light sourceAm well.
How Amsoft they speak and Fseem to be at peace
with the E7movement of the music and the Ammadness
that is FpullingE me into Amthis. Am
And the Amshades of the lamps are woven red.
The Flight, it stains and consecrates,
anE7nointing all forgotten forms
that Eswirl and smoke and haunt this place.
The Amgirls in gowns all nurse the dark,
pullFing it near to their swelling breasts
and E7watch as it seeps to their hearts
and Ebeats within their virgin chests.
And Amhere I know seduction breads
from Fwanton hearts that would seduce
and E7grows and spreads its vines and leaves
emEbracing those who might have moved,
but Amnow remain to drink the night
from Fvials black and thick with steam
such E7intoxicating delights
would Eleave you drunk inside this dreFam.E7
And you Amwatch them Gtake the Flight from Eyou.
Verse 2:
And you Amfind yourself on a Evelvet couch
tasE7ting the skin of a foreign Amgirl.
Her Ameyes are black and Ewet like oil
and she E7ties your hands with a string ofAm pearls.
And you Amtremble like a fightened bird
as she Ecloses in and captures you
to Fplace you in a silver cage
E7deep within her poisoned wAmomb.
So once your safe inEside
she might let you Fout to E7fly
in Amcircles around the Eroom.
But it's Falways night and there E7is no moon.
And you Amwonder Gif you Fare Ealive.
But you're Amnot sure Gif you Fwant to Ebe.
But you Amdrink her Gsweat like Fit was Ewine,
and you Amlay with her on a Ebed of blue
and it's Fawful sweet like the E7friut she cuts
and feeds to you.

Verse:
Let's sail away past the noise of the bay.
Let's sail away past the birth and death of the day.
Let's sail away to where the blues and greens
swirl into gray.
Let's sail away.
Let's sail away past the cradle of these waves.
Let's sail away past the tide and its slow decay.
Let's sail away to where the water goes-
some endless open space.
Chorus:
Take only what you need, my love,
and leave the rest behind.
Don;t be afraid of where we'll go, my love,
I promise, you'll be fine.
Now you are the only one that's mine.
Verse:
Let's sail away past the reflections of the light.
Let's sail away floating weightless through the night.
Let's sail away like a photograph,
fading to all white.
It's finally alright.
Chorus:
Forget all the mistakes, mu love,
they won't be made again.
Leave the photos in the drawer, my love,
we no longer need them.
We both know where we've been.
Verse:
Let's sail away disappearing in a mist.
Let's sail away with a whisper and a kiss.
Or vanish from a road somewhere,
like Tereza and Thomas,
suspended in this bliss.
