Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Ativan Eyes From the album The Brutalist Bricks (2010) Intro: A Em G A Em G A (verse) D B The industry's out of touch A Em G The means of production are now in the hands of the workers A Em But I still want to be guided by your expert hands A Em Oh, lay your expert hands on me (chorus) A Em G And I, I would listen while you played me through my fears A Em G And I, I would whisper just to make you come near A Em G And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors A Oh, I, I want your hands here (repeat verse chords) The new millennium's tough For some more than others, a ridiculous understatement But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes Oh, cast an eye upon me (repeat chorus chords) And I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in Oh, I, I want your eyes here (bridge) F# E I feel danger growing B A storm's dropping branches in my path F# Only danger where I'm going G F# C# F# Will you be a stranger when I get back? (repeat verse chords) We strive to survive causing least suffering possible The Flux of Pink Indians gave me words for that But I still want your heart beating on mine But oh, have I been beating on your heart? (repeat chorus chords) 'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears And I, I would whisper just to make you come near And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay mirrors Oh I, I want your hands here And I'd drive and talk to you about all this and nothing And I'd still give it all to give up all but one thing And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in Oh I, I want your eyes here (outro) E A I want your eyes here E A Ativan eyes, dear E A E A (repeat) D B A Em G A Em A Em G (guitar solo outro is in the key of B)
