The Airborne Toxic Event - Duet

^CI've been away for far too long. I've had my ^Fmind wrapped around ^Gthis one song ^CI heard last week on the radio while ^FDriving near that ^Gplace we used to g^Co

Where the ^Amtrack homes all ^Glook the same With their ^Froofs and the tiles and the ^Gsimilar frames All the ^Amstreets are so wide and the ^Gcars are so lame And on ^Fevery block I heard the ^Gwhisper of your ^Cname.

I spent so ^Cmany evenings in my head I'd ^Flie alone on an ^Gunmade bed ^CCounting the minutes like numbered clocks Should I ^Fcall, should I write, should I ^Gread, should I stop?

I'm a chi^Amld, I'm a ghost, I'm a sl^Gur, I'm a boast, I'm a pri^Fnce, I'm a king, I'm a rh^Gyme, I'm a ring, I'm ^Amunable to sleep, I'm ^Gunable to sing, I'm a ^Fdesperate and lonely, ^Gfrightened, unholy ^Cthing

And you'd say la la ^Amla I'm so ^Gglad I'm over ^Cyou As you ^Amreach for your drink and you ^Gtell me you like my ^Cshoes And I ^Amsmile like a wretch, there's not much ^Gelse I can do I say I ^Amknow what you mean, yeah it's ^Gweird for me too Besides what ^Fwould I sing about^G... if I had ^Cyou?

^CI think maybe it was Radiohead That had this ^Fweird little beat and a ^Gkeyboard instead Of ^Cguitar playing chords, I remember how bored You would ge^Ft with those bands You always ^Gsaid they play the same three ^Cchords

And you'd ^Amdance around in your ^Gt-shirt and sing Don't you ^Flove Modest Mouse and ^Gadore Promise Ring? Don't you ^Amwish that you could just ^Gavoid everything? Join a ^Fband, go on tour, and ^Gthink of me when you ^Csing?

And I'd think la la ^Amla yeah that ^Gsounds okay to ^Cme And you'd ^Amfall on the bed and I'd ^Gfall down to my ^Cknees And I'd ^Amsmile like my life ^Gdepended on it That's so ^Amweird I was mostly ^Gright about that Always ^Feager to love and ^Geager to ^Cleave

And I'd think la la ^Amla all these ^Gsongs are so ^Cuntrue As I ^Amstare at this ^Gfading side of ^Cyou And we ^Amdon't belong and it's ^Gall so wrong And you're ^Ambeautiful with that ^Ggray scarf on I think ^Fyeah okay but ^Gmaybe it's just the ^Csong And I ^Fmiss you but it ^Gmight just be the ^Csong
