Tuning: E A D G B E
When you were yGounger, you had Bmnightmares
You had Cscissor-pain and Gphantom G/F#limbs
And Emthings that kept yAmou nervous
Through that Ctwelve-year interiDm
When you Gfell crossing that Bmstreet
South of CHouston, old ManGhattan G/F#land
Those Emnightmares fell fromAm building-tops
And Ctook you by the Dhand
And you were Gbrought into those Bmrooms
With sliding Ccurtains, shining Gchildren's G/F#heads
And Emone of them, that Amboy
Was not as Clucky as you Dthen
But he Greturns to you at Bmnight
Just when you Cthink you might have Gfallen G/F#asleep
His Emface is up Amagainst yours
And you're too Cterrified to Dspeak
AmOh, SylviDa
AmOh, SylviDa
EmYou may think that I'm not Amlistening
But I Cam, goddamn, I Dam
I won't Gpretend I underBmstand
Because I Ccan't, and know I Gnever G/F#will
But Emsomething makes you Amsting
And something Cmakes you want to Dkill
It made you Gcrawl under that Bmhouse
And stick your Chead under the Gstove G/F#
It's Emall connected
IAmn those complicated Cnightmares that you Dwove
AmOh, SylviDa
AmOh, SylviDa
You may Emthink that I'm not Amlistening
ButC I am, goddamn,D I am
