A riff1
I'm so sick of people asking me
riff1 riff2
Have I seen this guy that I look like
riff1
When they mean that he looks like me
C#mAw, damn it all to hell
No GI wouldn?t know him too E7well
A riff1 riff2
Except I broke into his home, and then I broke his collarbone
riff1 riff1
His curtains hadn?t been opened in a week or two
riff2 riff1
And no one pictured that the little __ freaker has a few
C#mLooks like it?s about to fall over,G sure yeah it E7could just be the frame
A riff1 riff1
Or it could be the fact that nothing in this house is ever on the level
BNot even the toilet, Dboth of you
A riff1 riff2
It?s all askew, it'll be wrong forever
D9I dreamt up we're tumbling down a D9b5hill
Am9 /G# A6sus2
The people standing around swear they never seen blows fall like this
G#m7Wherever he landsG stay away it?s going to be bloodyD6/F#
Oh no, I Dm6/Fmiss you so
A riff1 riff1
Church bells now I?m awake and I guess it must be some kind of holiday
riff2 riff1
Go tell them that he better behave, it?s pretty hard to rise from the grave
C#mI?m just a ghost from the past, Gyeah, but you shouldn't have E7laughed
A riff1 riff2
Because I'll give you the shaft or maybe sign you up for the draft
riff1 riff1
I look down, I ripped my shirt and there?s blood stains on my fists
riff2 riff1
And the air in here is like a nylon net, I can throw my fists right through it
C#mMan, did anybody ever tell you Gthat you?re kind of E7like
A riff1 riff1
A moth trying to catch the attention of a bare light bulb
BAll recorded history is just one little Dguy on this pen
A riff1 riff1
Oh, my head feels like a TV store, twenty of the same channels
D9Let?s step outside for some D9b5fresh air
Am9 /G#
To some part of the city that you never seen yet
A6sus2Even though you lived here all your life
G#m7Now you?re not even sure Gwho you've met or what you like
You D6/F#wait until morning, let's hold it now
And if Dm6/Fthat?s the case you'll spend the night anyhow
D9Shiva opens her arms D9b5now
Am9 /G# A6sus2
Some kid's trying to park his car
I mayG#m7 talk in my sleep tonight
G'cause I like company tooD6/F#
Yeah, I know we're through
Dm6/FAlthough I miss you so
