        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 -  
                                 F  Bb 
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 
                            F  Bb  F  Bb 
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 
                         F  Bb 
You won't see me anymore

The lady is dying 
                       F 
She bends back like a wave 
                      F 
As her spirit is climbing 
                               D#5 
Through the hospital wall and away

And I wanted to hold you 
                    F 
As you made your escape 
                         F 
But now I should have told you

When your eyes were alive and awake

And so I go it alone

And the pressure is great 
       G#        F 
I hold on to my own

Oh please oh don't go away

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

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 
     Bb        F  Bb  F 
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  
   F                                          E 
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 
C                                     F 
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 
   C                                                  F 
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me 

              E 
But I let you down 
                F                             E 
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 
                         F G 
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 
    C                                                F 
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief 

              E 
But I let you down 
                F                             E 
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now 
                           F 
With that silver stripping off  
                         E 
My tongue you're tearing out 
                         F G C  F  C  F 
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 
C                                            F 
Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow 

              E 
But I let you down 
                F                             E 
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now 
                           F 
With that silver stripping off  
                         E 
My tongue you're tearing out 
                         F G   C 
And you'll never hear me talk, Glow 
   F            C 
Into you I will glow 
   F   C 
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 
                                          A      B 
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead, this time 

We ride roller coasters into the ocean 
                            A   F# 
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 
  E       F#            E     B     E     
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 
E                                        B        E 
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 
E                                 B 
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

Three Peaches (thanks to HipsterDoucheba) 

      G  
There is no dream 
   E                                                 G 
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 
                                                    E C E C E 
On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive 


        G                        E 
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 
                   E C E C E 
And you somehow survived 


      G 
There is no dream 
   E                                              G 
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

            B       A                E  C#m   D   A 
They could love her now and so could I 

E  C#m  D   A   E

There is no Naomi in view  
    C#m           D         A          E 
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls 
    C#m    D    A      E 
And if she only really knew 
    C#m     D      A              B        A 
One billion angels could come and save her soul 
           B        A              E   C#m 
They could save her soul until she shines 
D A       E    C#m 
Until she shines 
D A       E    C#m 
Until she shines 
D A       E 
Until she shines 

Ab   A   E 
Ab   A   E 
      Ab A E 
So pretty 
      Ab A E 
So pretty 
      Ab A E 
So pretty 
      Ab A E B 
So pretty 
B                             E 
And please, please don't leave me

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
