Bb
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from his hands
F
And when I put my arms around him
Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
Bb
And an eerieness surrounded
When his tongue began to speak
F
And he said, 'Oh, boy, you are so pretty,
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string'
Bb
And when I finally kissed him
The whole world began to ring
F
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
Bb
And I knew the world was over
So I took a look outside
F
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vanes and the tops of trees
Bb
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream -
FBb
They're all waiting here for me
Bb
Deli markets with their flower stands
Their pretty girls and their burning men
F
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue, twice removed from my face
Bb
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in the fountain
F
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take to soothe my mind
Bb
So I'm always sober
Always aching
Always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
F
And wasted gas-station attendants
Attending to their jobs
Bb
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
F
Oh, when this life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
Bb
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
FBbFBb
You're too wonderful to die
Bb
And the last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
And all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
F
And it's a lie that you've been given
That just hurts you every day
Bb
So why should I lie here naked
When it's just too far away
F
From anything we could call loving -
Any love worth living for?
Bb
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
F
And when I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
Bb
'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
FBb
You won't see me anymore

You've Passed (thanks to Liam Fletcher)
Use a
Capo on the 1st fret to make this easier
F
And I wanted to hold you
F
As you made your escape
F
But now I should have told you
D#5
When your eyes were alive and awake
F
Always in life we all must make this mistake
G#F
And so I go it alone
G#F
And the pressure is great
G#F
I hold on to my own
D#5
Oh please oh don't go away
2nd Interlude
F
I wanted to know you
F
Before you started to fade
F
But I gave everything to
D#5
A lie and a farce and a fake
F
Always in life we all must make this mistake
G#F
And so I go it alone
G#F
And the pressure is great
G#F
I hold on to my own
D#5
Oh please oh don't go away
F
I'd like to see you when all of these angry days blow away
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone Is Waiting
F
Someone is waiting
C
To swallow all the halos out of you
F
As your face blows through my windows
C
Sending pieces flying all around the room
F
And I love you, and I want to
C
Shoot all the superheroes from your skies
F
Watch them bleeding from your ceiling
C
As their empty anger falls out from their eyes
BbFBbF
All alone...

A Baby For Pree
C
Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
F
Makes babies to breathe, with their hearts hanging open
C
All over the sheets, as soft as beets in some brown
F
Dresser drawer
C
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing, they'll
F
Sting through her chest with a force hard and beating till
C
Wonderfully wet she will get until she's soaked inside
FE
Her clothes, and there is no sorry to be sorry for
F
For a roll around the floor
E
Some afternoon so sound and soft
F
It made her swallow all her sweat
E
With every bit of breath she coughed
F
And when the day it came to pour
G
All her babies all across the bathroom floor
C
She will be swimming in them all forever more

Marching Theme
Ab is the main chord in this song.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where You'll Find Me Now
C
All I perceive is wasted and broken
F
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
CF
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
C
And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery
F
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
CF
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me
E
But I let you down
FE
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
F
With that silver stripping off
E
From my tongue you're tearing out
FG
And you'll never hear me talk
C
Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
F
Tear into me and the scent of you sweating
C
Smells good to me
F
As long as we keep in our clothes
C
And out in the dark the world is still rolling
F
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
CF
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief
E
But I let you down
FE
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
F
With that silver stripping off
E
My tongue you're tearing out
FGCFCF
And you'll never hear me talk
C
And all I could want is silver and spinning
F
Out from your arms and into the pretty
CF
Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow
E
But I let you down
FE
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
F
With that silver stripping off
E
My tongue you're tearing out
FGC
And you'll never hear me talk, Glow
FC
Into you I will glow
FC
Into you

Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone
B
There are beads that wrap
B
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
F#
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
AB
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead, this time
We ride roller coasters into the ocean
AF#
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
E
And some you leave behind
B
It gets hard to explain
EF#EBE
The gardenhead knows my name
B
Leave me alone
E
For you know this isn't the first time
B
In fact this is twice in a row
E
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
B
And filled up our garden with snow
E
And I don't wish the taste of your insides
B
Or to call out your name through my phone
E
For the glory boys at your bedside
B
Will love you as long as your something to love
EBE
Will love you as long as your something to love
B
Follow me through
E
The city of frost covered angels
B
I swear I have nothing to prove
E
I just want to dance in your tangles
B
To give me some reason to move
E
Or to take on the world at all angles
B
Requires a strength I can use
E
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
EB
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

Three Peaches (thanks to HipsterDoucheba)
G
There is no dream
EG
So wake up run your lips across your fingers till you find
E
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
G
To remind yourself that you didn't die
ECECE
On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive
GE
And you seem so bruised and it's beautiful
G
As it's reflecting off from you as it shines
E
And you're in the bathroom carving holiday designs into yourself
G
Hoping no one will find you but they found you
And they took you
ECECE
And you somehow survived
G
There is no dream
EG
So wake up and if the holidays don't hollow out your eyes
E
Then press yourself against whatever you find
G
To be beautiful and trembling with life
Because I'm so happy
E
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
G
I'm so happy
E
That you didn't die

Your prettiness is seeping through

Always a wretch i have become

EC#mDAEC#mDAEC#mDAE
I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
C#mDAE
I'm hoping she will soon explode
C#mDAE
Into one billion tastes and tunes
C#mDA
One billion angels come and
BA
Hold her down
BA
They could hold her down
EC#mDA
Until she cries
EC#mDAEC#mDAE
I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
C#mDAE
It tastes like shit and I must say
C#mDAE
She comes and goes most afternoons
C#mDABA
One billion lovers wave and love her now
BAEC#mDA
They could love her now and so could I
EC#mDAEC#mDAE
There is no Naomi in view
C#mDAE
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
C#mDAE
And if she only really knew
C#mDABA
One billion angels could come and save her soul
BAEC#m
They could save her soul until she shines
DAEC#m
Until she shines

Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep
