G Bm C G Em Am C D (Play the D as 5222)
In a nightmare, I am falling from the 
ceiling into bed beside you.
You're asleep, I'm screaming, 
shoving you to try to wake you up.
And like before, you've got no 
interest in the life you live when you're awake.
Your dreams still follow story lines, 
like fictions you would make.
So I lie down against your back, 
until we're both back in the hospital.
But now it's not a cancer ward, 
we're sleeping in the morgue.
Men and women in blue and white, 
they are singing all around you,
With heavy shovels holding earth, 
you're being buried to you neck.
In that hospital bed, 
being buried quite alive now.
I'm trying to dig you out
but all you want is to be buried there together.

Chorus
       Am             G         
You're screaming, and cursing,
    Am         G
And angry, and hurting me,
         Am           G
And then smiling, and crying,
   D
Apologizing.

G Bm C G Em Am C D
I've woken up, I'm in our bed, 
but there's no breathing body there beside me.
Someone must have taken you while I was stuck asleep.
But I know better as my eyes adjust,
you've been gone for quite awhile now,
And I don't work there in the hospital, 
they had to let me go.
When I try to move my arms sometimes, 
they weigh too much to lift.
I think you buried me awake, 
my one and only parting gift.
But you return to me at night, 
just when I think I may have fallen asleep.
Your face is up against mine, and 
I'm too terrified to speak.

Chorus
       Am             G         
You're screaming, and cursing,
    Am         G
And angry, and hurting me,
         Am           G
And then smiling, and crying,
   D
Apologizing.

Epilogue

The whole piece is a mesh of intriguing hooks.  Starts out with music box sounds and quiet lyrics that seem to be about being on a failing performance circuit then kicks up to a fast new wave garage sound A fast but somber mood describes the feeling out of place and alienated from within.  Similar to Aztec Camera, early REM.

There's a bear inside your stomach

               C                  G F#
The cub's been kicking from within.

Em                        Am 
He's loud, though without vocal chords

C                   D
We'll put an end to him


           G             Bm
We'll make all the right appointments

       C               G F#
No one ever has to know.

Em                          Am
And then tomorrow I'll turn 21

C                    D
We'll script another show


           G                  Bm
We'll play charades up in the Chelsea

      C                                  G F#
Drink champagne although you shouldn't be.

Em                      Am
We'll be blind and dumb until we fall asleep


            G            Bm
None of our friends will come

     C              G F#
They dodge our calls.

Em                        Am
And they have for quite a while now

           C
It's not a shock

You don't seem to mind and I just can't see how.


Chorus:
          C     Bm
We're too old

          Am          D
We're not old, old at all
    
     C      Bm        
Just too old


We're not old, old at all


Verse 2:

There's a bear inside your stomach

               C                    G F#
The cub's been kicking you for weeks

Em                      Am
And if this isn't all a dream

                C            D
Well then we'll cut him from beneath

               G                Bm
Well we're not scared of making caves

           C                   G F#
Or finding food for him to eat

      Em               Am
We're terrified of one another

         C                 D
And terrified of what that means
 
               G          Bm      
But we'll make only quick decisions

                C                          G F#
And you'll just keep my in the waiting room

            Em                    Am
And all the while I'll know we're fucked

        C                D
And not getting unfucked soon

            G                 Bm
When we get home we're bigger strangers 

           C                G F#
than we've ever been before

           Em             Am          C               D
You sit in front of snowy television, suitcase on the floor


Chorus:

          C      Bm
We're too old

          Am     D
We're not old at all.

         C      Bm
Just too old

          Am     D
We're not old at all.

A                                                 Asus2
In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up,
 A                                                Asus2
when a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough."
 Bm                                                         D
He brought me out into the hall (I could have sworn it was haunted),
 Bm                                                     D
and told me something that I didn't know that I wanted to hear:
 A                                                Asus2
That there was nothing that I could do to save you,
 A                                                Asus2
the choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you.
 Bm                                          D
Something in my throat made my next words shake,
 Bm                                           D
and something in the wires made the lightbulbs break.
 A                                                           Asus2
There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling,
 A                                                 Asus2
it opened up the scars that had just finished healing.
 Bm                                                         D
It tore apart the canyon running down your femur,
 Bm                                                         D
(I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer.)
 A                                                 Asus2
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room,
 A                                                 Asus2
but I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew.
 Bm                                                         D
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain,
 Bm                                                         D
you came to hating me again and just sang your refreain:
 A                                                 Asus2
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
 A                                                 Asus2
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair,
 Bm                                                         D
then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
 Bm                                                         D
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.
 A                                                 Asus2
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, 
 A                                                 Asus2
built the gears in your head, now he greases them up. 
 Bm                                                         D
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating. 
 Bm                                                         D
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating.
 A                                                 Asus2
Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy,
 A                                                 Asus2
wearing silver rings with nobody clapping.
 Bm                                                         D
When we moved here together we were so disappointed,
 Bm                                                         D
sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed.
 A                                                 Asus2
It killed me to see you getting always rejected,
 A                                                 Asus2
but I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected.
 Bm                                                         D
I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes,
 Bm                                                         D
I just held you in the doorframe through all of the earthquakes.
 A                                                 Asus2
But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night,
 A                                                 Asus2
and I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight.)
 Bm                                                         D
But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from 
 Bm                                                         D
stomping out that door, coming back like you always do.
  A                                                 Asus2
Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can.
 A                                                 Asus2
You say that, 'No one's gonna listen, and no one understands.'
 Bm                                                         D
So there's no open doors and there's no way to get through,
 Bm                                                         D
there's no other witnesses, just us two.
 A                                                 Asus2
There's two people living in one small room,
 A                                                 Asus2
from your two half-families tearing at you,
 Bm                                                         D
two ways to tell the story (no one worries),
 Bm                                                         D
two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry,
 A                                                 Asus2
two people talking inside your brain,
 A                                                 Asus2
two people believing that I'm the one to blame
, Bm                                                         D
two different voices coming out of your mouth,
 Bm                                                         D
while I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout.
 A                                                 Asus2
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
 A                                                 Asus2

then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
 Bm                                                         D
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.
 A                                                 Asus2
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, 
 A                                                 Asus2
built the gears in your head, now he greases them up.
 Bm                                                         D
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating.

         C                          Bm              Am     
Well prove to me I'm not gonna die alone.
G          F                              C                                             G
Unstitch that (shit?) I've sewn to close up the hole that tore through my skin.
               C                           Bm             Am
Well my trust in you is a dog with a broken leg... 
G           F                                                     C                 G
Tendons too torn to beg for you to let me back in. 

                            C                                 Bm              Am         
You said I can't prove to you you're not gonna die alone.
       G             F                                           C                      G
But trust me to take you home to clean up that blood all over your palms.
                            C                   Bm                 Am
You can't keep running out kicking yourself off the bed.
G             F                                                      C               G
Kicking yourself in the head. Because you're kicking me too.


                F                  Am                      C                               
Put your trust in me, I'm not gonna die alone(2x)
            G 
I don't think so.

Putting The Dog To Sleep

Burst Apart

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory


D                        A        
Right now is all we have you better make this count
Bm                     D
these are the moments i wish i could forget you.

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
     Em   A
lets run away.

American Dream 

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
