 Am7       
 Am7/
 F#
You turn on a spindle
                
 G
You are so much looser now
           
 C
But you're not explaining how
    
 F#          
 B7    
 E
You gained such new repose

            
 Am7           
 Am7/
 F#
I touch the clasp of your locket
         
 G
With its picture held
     
 C
Some secret you wouldn't tell
    
 F#     
 B7         
 E
But let it choke your neck

        
 Am7     
 Am7/
 F#
So we imagine a darkness
          
 G
Where all shapes divide
       
 C
Solids changing into light
       
 F#       
 B7      
 E
With a burst of heat so bright


 E
Well fine

Don't you do what I want you to

 Am7/
 F#

 C  
 D7    
 D7sus4 
 G
To make my moods immmmmmprove

        
 Am7     
 Am7/
 F#
And near a sea of pianos
           
 G
There were waves of chords
     
 C
That crashed against the shore
       
 F#       
 B7        
 E
In one huge and pointless roar

               
 Am7            
 Am7/
 F#
And there were girls bringing water
       
 G
Like a dream they came
            
 C
To cool the fever of my brain
    
 F#        
 B7      
 E
And soothe my burning throat

         
 Am7       
 Am7/
 F#
And they made me a necklace
        
 G
Hanging beads of sweat
     
 C
On a string of my regrets
    
 F#        
 B7        
 E
And placed it 'round my neck


 E
And they were singing


 Am7       
 Am7/
 F#         
 G      
 C
Don't you do what you've wanted to
      
 Am7      
 Am7/
 F#                   
 G       
 C
Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do

 Am7/
 F#                       
 G       
 C
And maybe the sun keeps coming up 'cause it's gotten used to you
         
 Am 
 C     
 D7   
 D7sus4 
 G
And your constant need forrrr proof




SONG  - A Scale, A Mirror And Those Indifferent Clocks

---1--0----1---1--3---

---2--2----2---3--0---
---3--2----0---3--2---
------0--------1--3---

          
 C                  
Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily
          
 Em                            
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
     
 Am    
Were picked in advance by some careful hand 
        
 F                   
 G
With an absolute concept of beauty 
         
 C                                            
They are smeared and these blurs come in random order
   
 Em                                     
To color the eyes of your former lovers
          
 Am                                              
 F
Hers were green like July except when she cried
          
 F 
 G
They were red

      
 C
Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat
    
 Em     
You contract it the day you accept all you see
     
 Am                        
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
    
 F                           
 G
A reflection of something we're missing
    
 C
And language just happened, it was never planned
         
 Em 
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
       
 Am
In the room of my house where the light has never been

 F                       
 G 
Waiting for this day to end

          
 F                         
 G                
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore

 Em                 
 Am           
Everything that we hate or adore
         
 F                     
 G
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
   
 Em                        
 Am
So tell me then, what was it for?
   
 F        
 G           
 C
Oh tell me, what was it for?

 F#m       
Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning
when you start to raise your head?
            
 C#
And does he sing to you incessantly
from the place between your bed and wall?
        
 F#m
Does he walk around all day at school
with his feet inside your shoes?
        
 C#
Looking down every few steps
to pretend he walks with you?
        
 F#m
Does he know that place below your neck
that is your favorite to be touched?
            
 C#
And does he cry through broken sentences
like "I love you far too much"?


 Bm          
 E          
 A            
 D
Does he lay awake listening to your breath?  

 Bm           
 E             
 A        
 D
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes?
      
 E                 
 F#m
Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?  
          
 E                         
 F#m
For every speck of tile there are a thousand more

That you won't ever see

I drug your ghost across the country
and we plotted out my death
         
 C#
In every city, memories would whisper
"Here is where you rest"
        
 F#m
I was determined in Chicago
But I dug my teeth into my knees
      
 C#
And I settled for a telephone
Sang into your machine
 
 F#m
"You are my sunshine,
         
 C#
 My only sunshine.
 
 F#m
 You are my sunshine
         
 C#
 My only sunshine"

I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
             
 C#
She had eyes bright enough to burn me
They reminded me of yours
         
 F#m
And in a story told she was a little girl
In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
               
 C#
And there were rows of ripe tomatoes
Where a secret was concealed
       
 F#m
And it rose like thunder
                  
 C#
Clapped under our hands
       
 F#m
And it stretched for centuries
                   
 C#
To a diary entry's end where I wrote
 
 F#m
"You make me happy (WHAT?)
                    
 C#  
 When the skies are gray
 
 F#m
 You make me happy (WHAT?)

 When skies are gray and gray and gray"

 Bm                    
 E        
 A         
 D
With hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
      
 E

But I will not weep for those dying days
            
 E

For all the ones who've left there are a few that stayed

And they found me here and pulled me from the grass

to that coffin you call your apartment.  

        
 Am

And you sink in your chair

Brush the snow from your hair

 F                    
 C

It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago 
        
 F             
 C

And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived

As a kid with my mom and my brothers

Fucking glow in the dark
              
 C        
 G       
 F 
For all those starving eyes to see
         
 Am         
 E
Like the ones we've wished on

    
 C          
 G      
But now I'm confused  
        
 Am           
 F
Is this death really you?

 C            
 G               
 Am    
And do these dreams have any meaning?  

                       
 C           
 G   
No, no, I think it is more like a ghost
            
 Am           
 F
That's been following us both

 C            
 G

You follow the footsteps

Echoes leading down a hall
     
  F#

To a room, there's music playing

Tiny bells with moving parts

Here the shadows make things ugly

An effect quite undesirable

The bold and yellow daylight

Grows like ivy across the wall

And bounces off of the painted porcelain

On an off-white subtle morning
    
  E

You stretch your legs in the front seat
    
  F#

The road has made a vacuum

  A
Where our voices used to be
        
  F#                    
  A
And you lay your head onto my shoulder
          
  E          
  A
Pour like water over me

        
  D      
  E

So if I just exist for the next ten minutes of this

Drive that would be fine

And all the trees that line this curb would be

Rejoicing and alive

Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes

  E       
  A
Fountains of your eyes

Because you finally understand the movement of a

The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
              
   Ab
And they will sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
     
   E                      
   C#m
That kind of gold washes off

        
   C#m
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows
             
   Ab
They long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
            
   E                        
   C#m
So that the pure can shut their doors

        
   C#m
And the angry are animals, senseless and savage
     
   Ab
They act without order in logical lapses
     
   E

They stain their mouths with blood

So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight

Oh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall to hide

Well the wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons

They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims

To collapse and call to them

In a dark and distant, dark and distant place

This house, it holds nothing but the memories
        
   F#m                        
   C#m
And the moon, it leaves silver but never sleep
             
   B      
   A        
   Ab     
And then the silver turns to gray

So stay with me, Arienette

Until the wolves are away

Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
    
    Dm                      
    G
And making him take me back down to the water
     
    C                           
    G
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
  
    Am                     
    Am

I will not desert him, I will not desert him

No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
         
    Dm         
    G               
    C

Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
         
    Dm          
    G             
    C

I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
    
    C                 
    G       
    C
The sky that has been avoiding me

  
    C                              
    G
I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
           
    Dm                         
    G
It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
         
    C                        
    G
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
         
    Am                      
    G
She will recite the prayer of my pen

        
    C                     
    G
Saying, time take us forward, relief from this longing
         
    Dm                    
    G
They can land that plane on my heart. I don't care
     
    C                     
    G
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
       
    Am                      
    G
In the freezing darkness of my room

              
    Dm           
    G          
    C          
    Am
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
          
    Dm           
    G              
    C          
    Am
All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain
         
    Dm      
    G              
    C           
    Am
Seen the curious girl with that look on her face
   
    C                             
    G           
    C
So surprised she stares out from her display case

Well Haligh Haligh Haligh Haligh

This weight, it must be satisfied
    
     G
You offer only one reply
    
     A
You know not what you do
        
     Bm
But you tear and tear your hair from roots
     
     A
From that same head you have twice removed
      
     G
Now a lock of hair you said would prove
    
     A                              
Our love would never die, well hahaha

     Dmaj7        
     A             
     Bm
And all those mornings watching you get ready for school

    
     F#m                
     Dmaj7
You combed your hair inside that mirror
            
     A                
     Bm
The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears

     F#m                   
     Dmaj7                      
     A                
     Bm
Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better


     F#m                   
     Dmaj7
But now we speak with ruined tongues
        
     A                   
     Bm
And the words we say aren't meant for anyone

     F#m                 
     Dmaj7         
     A              
     Bm       
It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance but there was once you


     F#m                  
     Dmaj7
You said you hate my suffering
        
     A              
     Bm
And you understood and you'd take care of me

     F#m                
     Dmaj7          
     A                   
     Bm
You'd would always be there, well where are you now?


     Bm
Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
    
     A
The plans were never finalized
    
     G
But left to hang like yarn and twine
    
     A
Dangling before my eyes

       
     Bm
As you tear and tear your hair from roots
     
     A
From that same head that you have twice removed
      
     G
Now a lock of hair you said would prove
    
     A
Our love would never die

      
     Bm
And I sing and sing of awful things
    
     A
The pleasure that my sadness brings
       
     G
And my fingers press onto the strings
    
     A
Yet another clumsy chord


     Bm
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
     
     A
This weight will now be satisfied
          
     G
I'm gonna give you only one reply
  
     A
I know not who I am

      
     Bm
But I talk in the mirror
       
     A
To the stranger that appears
                      
     G
Our conversations are circles
           
     G
Always one sided
           
     A
Nothing is clear

          
     Bm
Except we keep coming back
        
     A
To this meaning that I lack
                         
     G
He says the choices were given
             
     G
Now you must live them
            
     A
Or just not live

                
     Bm
But do you want that?

At the center of the world there's a statue of a girl
                       
      C           
      D

She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
                             
      Bm

I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
                           
      C                  
      D           
      G
This clumsy form that I despise, it scattered easy in her hand

                       
      Bm                          
      Am
It came to rest upon a beach with a million others there

      D

We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out so that we could disappear
                        
      Bm                          
      Am
Into the endlessness of blue into the horror of the truth
                             
      C                  
      D                
      Em
See, we are far less than we knew, yeah, we are far less than we knew


      Em                        
      C
But we knew what we could taste

      Em
Girls found honey to drench our hands
                               
      B
The men cut marble to mark our graves


      B                              
      G
Said we'll need something to remind us of
                           
      B
All the sweetness that has passed through us
                                   
      Em
The priests dressed children for a choir

But found no joy in what was sung

      Bm

In the middle of the day when you drive home to your place
                             
      C                 
      D                       
      G
From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
                             
      Bm

Long after night has come to claim any light that still remains
                     
      C              
      D              
      G
In the corner of the frame that you put around her face

    
      Bm
Two pills just weren't enough 
    
      Am
The alarm clock's going off but you're not waking up
          
      C                                       
      D

       Am  
       Ab?
But you're always on the way

          
       Am           
       Ab?
Towards a sunrise or a sunset
  
       Am            
       Ab?
A scribble or a sonnet
         
       Am              
       Ab?
They are really just the same

       
       Am           
       Ab?
To the sunrise or a sunset
    
       Am             
       Ab?
The master and his servant
      
       Am   
       Ab?   
       Am      
       Ab?
Have exactly the same fate

       
       Am            
       Ab?
It's a sunrise and a sunset
       
       Am          
       Ab?
From a cradle to a casket
         
       Am   
       Ab?    
       Am   
       Ab?
There is no way to escape

    
       Am              
       Ab?
The sunrise and the sunset
          
       Am             
       Ab?
Hold your sadness like a puppet
     
       Am    
       Ab?      
       Am   
       Ab?
Keep putting on the play

    
       E
But everything you do
   
       E
Is leading to the point
      
       E                           
       Am 
       Ab? 
       Am 
       Ab?
Where you just won't know what to do

    
       E
And at that moment you may laugh
    
       E
But there is someone there
                     
       E           
       Am
Who will be laughing louder than you

        
       Ab?
So it's true
    
       Am          
       Ab?
The trick is complete
         
       Am        
       Ab?                
       Am          
       Ab?
You've become everything you said you never would be
         
       Am   
       Ab? 
       Am 
       Ab?
You're a fool
         
       Am   
       Ab? 
       Am 
       Ab?
You're a fool


       Am       
       Ab?
Sunrise, sunset

       Am       
       Ab?
Sunrise, sunset
    
       Am              
       Ab?   
       Am 
       Ab?
The sunrise and the sun sets


       Am       
       Ab?
Sunrise, sunset

       Am           
       Ab?
Sunrise, the sun sets
    
       Am           
       Ab?     
       Am 
       Ab?
The sunrise, the sun sets


       Am       
       Ab?
Sunrise, sunset
   
       Am            
       Ab?
Go home to your apartment
        
       Am              
       Ab?       
       Am 
       Ab?
Put the cassette in the tape deck
    
       Am     
       Ab?     
       Am   
       Ab? 
       Am 
       Ab? 
       Am 
       Ab?
And let that fever play


       Am       
       Ab?
Sunrise, sunset
      
       Am      
       Ab?
Where are you Arienette?


       Am 
       Ab?

       Am 
       Ab?

       Am 
       Ab?

       Am 
       Ab?

      
       Am      
       Ab?
Where are you Arienette?

        F#m         
        G            
        A
Did you expect it all to stop at the wave of your hand?
         
        D                 
        F#m          
        G           
        A
Like the sun is just gonna drop if it's night you demand?
             
        D                
        F#m        
        G              
        A
Well, in the dark we are just air so the house might dissolve
           
        D                 
        F#m             
        G            
        A
Once we're gone, who's gonna care if we were ever here at all?

      
        G                                
        A              
        F#m
Well, summer's gonna come, it's gonna cloud our eyes again
                              
        G                    
        A
No need to focus when there's nothing that's worth seeing

            
        D          
        F#m           
        G                
        A
So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales
            
        D             
        F#m           
        G         
        A
I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details
                 
        F#m                     
        G
They seemed so important at the time but now you can't even recall

        G             
        A
Any of the names, faces, or lines, it's more the feeling of it all

      
        G                              
        A
Well, winter's gonna end, it's gonna clean these veins again

        F#m			 
        G		   
        A
So close to dying that I finally can start living


        D 
        F#m 
        G 
        A (repeat)  end on 
        F#m






SONG  - A Song To Pass The Time

E   - 022100

         F#m - XX4222

         Abm - xx6444

         A   - X02220

         B   - X24442

Start with fingerpicking E

           
         E                        
         F#m
There is a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
            
         Abm                     
         F#m
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
          
         E                     
         F#m
While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
         
         Abm                         
         F#m
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
           
         A                     
         E
But I love them... why do I love them?

       
         E                         
         F#m
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
          
         Abm                            
         F#m
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
             
         E                   
         F#m
And on their faces just anger or disappointment
        
         Abm                                 
         F#m
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
  
         A                                 
         E
A consolation... what could I offer them?

             
         E                            
         F#m
And they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
    
         Abm                               
         F#m
And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
            
         E                                    
         F#m
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
        
         Abm                       
         F#m
And the cars in the driveway only multiply

         
         E                                     
         F#m
They are lost in their houses, I've heard them sing in the shower
       
         Abm                             
         F#m
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
                
         E                                  
         F#m
Saying you come home, you come here, don't stay so far away from me
     
         Abm                              
         F#m
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
                
         A                    
         E
Something I can hold... it's getting cold

      
         F#m         
         E          
         B            
         A
I say hold up our fists to a flame in the sky
   
         F#m           
         E                 
         B           
         A
To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
                             
         E        
         A             
         E       
'Cause it... 'cause it would blind us, yeah it will blind us

          
         E                        
         F#m
Well I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
         
         Abm                   
         F#m
So I may never be free of this apathy
      
         E                        
         F#m
But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
             
         Abm                         
         F#m
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope

                  
         E
So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
                 
         F#m
There is someone looking for what I've concealed
             
         Abm
In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
                  
         F#m
You will find the reasons that I can't sleep
                        
         A                             
         E     
And you will still want me... but will you still want me?

         A                   
         E
Will you still want me?

            
         F#m          
         E             
         B           
         A
Well, I say come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
    
         F#m             
         E           
         B                
         A
And pass through my life like a dream through my head
                      
         E    
         A             
         E
It will... it will be easy, I'll make it easy

          
         E                        
         F#m
But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
  
         Abm                    
         F#m
A melody to keep me from worrying
     
         E                             
         F#m
Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
    
         Abm                         
         F#m
And words that are sure to come back to me
                    
         A                          
         E
And they'll be laughing... and they'll be laughing

         A          
         E
My mediocrity

         A          
         E
My mediocrity


         A 
         E 
         A 
         E...
