[Verso 1]

         D                           A/C# 
What to say, I'm just glad I stayed home 
                       Bm                   A 
Cause a day off's the way off this titanic mind 
         D                          A/C# 
Coffee grounds look something like burial mounds 
          Bm                         A 
They are heavy, black, steaming, and elephantine 
         D                            A/C# 
But I'm weightless, pale, clammy, and impish today 
         Bm                             A 
I will float with the ghosts and scare people away 
          D                     A/C# 
With *unspeakable boilings and tearings apart* 
       Bm                         A                  D A/C# Bm A 
I've drowned in mathematics now sleeping alone isn't art

  D                              A                        D 
Friends float down rivers while laughing at government schemes 
                         A                           D 
Other friends' livers remember the days they were clean 
                      A                          D 
Things we put in our bodies, just where do they go? 
                         A                        D A D A  D A D A 
You think you're such an expert then you oughta know

 D                   A/C#                     Bm              A 
We are seadogs with pyrite to fill up those cracks in between 
   D                   A/C#                  Bm 
Igniting the crevices reading some Life magazines: 
                 A 
From the fifties, or the sixties 
D                      A/C#                  Bm A 
 All the junk I've consumed it resides in a jar 
   D                      A/C#                    Bm  A 
An archive of my mistakes ever preserved in the stars 


 
[Verso 4]

            D                      A 
If I could live one day over I've got one in mind 
        D                      A 
Woulda done it correctly if I woke up on time 
 D                       A 
Live one day over, I've got one in mind 
            D                      A 
Would have done it correctly if I woke up on time 



[Verso 5]

         D                        A/C# 
What to do? I'm just troubled by you 
                   Bm                   A 
And the way you behave it's incredibly hard to explain 
         D                             A/C# 
Well I'm ill, I'm just bothered and thrilled 
                       Bm 
That someone would put up for so long 
       A 
Now I guess it's so long again

 There are things that we put in our bodies 
     Bm                       A 
We know what we're doing and we aren't sorry 
 D                     A/C# 
Honestly I don't know how to react

You think hurting yourself doesn't

Hurt anybody else

Sometimes

 But only sometimes

 There are signs that some people don't want me around 
    A 
Anymore 
D                       A/C#                     Bm 
 There are oceans of strangers and I think it's time that I 
           A 
Went and drowned

Your hand's flat your hand's freezing said the man in the mirror

Count on the girl of your dreams til they shear her (legs off) (yeah legs off)
