Drink Me

C                      Ab
L.A. lights mm mm never shine quite as bright as 
  F
in the movies
   C 
Still want to go  
C
There's something here
         Ab                                                         F
In the way, in the way that we're constantly moving
                        C           G
Reminds you of home 
               F
So you've taken these pills
        Ab
For to fill up your soul
                      C                                     G
And you're drinking them down with cheap alcohol
F                             Ab
I'd be inclined to be yours for the taken
       C                             G
And part of this terrible mess that you're making
     F                     C
But me, I'm the catalyst
C                                  Ab
When you say love mm mm is a simple chemical
F
reaction
                  C
Can't say I agree
C                               Ab
'Cause my chemical, yeah, left me a beautiful 
F
disaster
C
Still love's all I see
           F                                  Ab
So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul
            C                                        G
And I'm drinking them down with cheap alcohol
        F                                  Ab
And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking
           C                             G
You're part of this terrible mess that I'm making
      F                       C
But you, you're the catalyst
F
You'll be the vein
Ab
You'll be the pain
C
You'll be the scar
                     F                   Ab
You'll be the road, rolling below
                          C
The wheels of a car
                       F                Ab
And all of the thoughts, oh god
            C                                    G
Don't know if I'm strong enough now
                    F
You'll be the vein
                   Ab
You'll be the pain
               C   Ab   F
You'll be the
C
Catalyst
C                            Ab
These L.A. lights, no no, 
                    F
They don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco
           Ab
Do you want to though?
F     C
Still want to go

Verse:
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I'm obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed
She's so pretty, I'm jealous
And she's lost like Alice
In a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back

Chorus:
I'll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I'll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play it truth or dare

Verse:
So you're a fan of Coltrane
I wanna be Curt Cobain
When the truth gets scary
I'll take my gin and sherry
And some Drink Me they'll be
Plath and Joplin with verse writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I'll be there in the front row

Chorus:
I'll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I'll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare

Bridge:
And I won't be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won't know my name
And I'll get smaller with
Every swallow you'll
Wait tomorrow and things won't be the same

Verse:
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I'm obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed
Cuz I need the rest
Yeah my head's a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest

Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year

Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm

Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

No Bravery

Capo 2

Intro: G


G
Well let me tell you something let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know
           C
You got to stop once in a while
                    G
And shake off that face of yours
       Em                       Bm
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
Em                                 Bm                 D
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


       G
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           C                                                     G
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   Em                                Bm
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             Em                             Bm               D
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

  
      G
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          C                                               G
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              Em                            Bm
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          Em                            Bm              D
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

Chorus:

          G

C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
   D
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
C                                                  G
Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer come on
