Standard (EADGBE)

twilight fades

through blistered avalon

the sky's cruel torch

 on aching autobahn

into the uncertain divine

we scream into the last divide

you make me real

you make me real

strong as i feel

you make me real

Sheila rides on crashing nightingale

intake eyes leave passing vapour trails

with blushing brilliance alive

because it's time to arrive

you make me real

you make me real

strong as i feel

you make me real

lately I just can't seem to believe

discard my friends to change the scenery

it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

 but now it's just a matter of grace

a summer storm graces all of me

highway warm sing silent poetry

I could bring you the light

and take you home into the night

lately I just can't seem to believe

discard my friends to change the scenery

it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

 but now it's just a matter of grace

Intro

 It's you that I adore

 You will always be my heart

 You'll be a mother to my child, and a child to my heart

We must never be apart

We must never be apart

 Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world

 Without you there aren't reasons left to fight

(Play intro chords again)

 And I'll pull your crooked teeth

 You'll be perfect just like me

 You'll be a lover in my bed, and a gun to my head

We must never be apart

We must never be apart

 Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world

 Dressing coffings for the souls I've left to die

Drinking mercury to the mystery

 Of all that you should ever seek to find... in time

(Play intro chords again)

 In you I see dirty

 In you I count stars

 In you I feel so pretty

 In you I taste god

 In you I feel so hungry

 In you I crash cars

We must never be apart

(Guitar solo, starting from the last chord: C#m, D5, Bm, A9)

Drinking mercury to the mystery

 Of all that you should ever seek to find

Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world

 Dressing coffings for the souls I've left behind... in time

We must never be apart

 It's you that I adore

 You will always be my heart

 And I'll pull your crooked teeth

 You'll be perfect just like me

In you I feel so dirty

In you I crash cars

In you I feel so pretty

In you I taste god

Intro

we can't help But feel

 that something has Been lost

perfect, perfect, perfect

strangers down the line

lover out of time

perfect, perfect

strangers when we meet

strangers on the street

lovers while we meet

perfect

you know this has to Be

we always were so free

we promise that we'll Be

perfect, perfect, perfect

with the sugar sickness

you spy the kidnap kid

who kids you to oblivion

it's the perfect hassle

for the perfumed kiss

he makes you miss him more than home

you love him

you love him more than this

  you love him and you cannot you can't resist

you love him

you love him for yourself

  you love him and no one no one else

past sidewalk ashes

a last lovers arc

you come apart to intertwine

it was all so simple

as you watched him move

across the darkness in your room

you love him

you love him for yourself

  you love him and no one no one else

and to the winding vines

the pretty boys dive

and thru the pinhole stars

into the shadow mind

will you lose him then

on some gentle dawn

this boy is here and gone

you love him

you love him for yourself

  you love him and no one no one else

you love him

you love him more than this

  you love him and you cannot you can't resist

 you love him

 you love him

 you love him

 you love him

 you love him

 you love him

 you love him

Mother I'm tired

 come surrender my son

time has ravaged on my soul

 no plans to leave but still I go

Falling with the leaves

falling out of sleep

to the last goodbyes

 who cares why

Mother I've tried

wasting my life

 I haven't given up I lied

 to make you so proud in my eyes

Falling out of sleep

crawling over me

to the last goodbyes

 who cares why

Tuesday's come and gone

restless still I drive

try to leave it all behind

Falling out of sleep

falling with the leaves

I go crawling over me

Once upon a time in my life

Once upon a time in my life

Once upon a time in my life

Once upon a time in my life

 I've went falling

falling

mother I hope you know

that I miss you so

time has ravaged on my soul

 to wipe a mother's tears grown cold

 the lights came on fast

 lost in motorcrash

 gone in a flash unreal

 but you knew all along

 you laugh the light

 I sing the songs

 to watch you numb

 I saw you there

 you were on your way

 you held the rain and for the first time

heaven seemed insane

 cause heaven is to blame

 for taking you away

do you know the way that I can?

do you know the way that I can't lose?

do you know the things that I can?

do you know the things that I can't do?

where is your heart?

where is your heart gone to?

tear me apart

tear me apart from you

you laugh the light I cry the wound

in grey afternoons

 I saw you there

 you were on your way

 you kissed me cold and for the first time

heaven seemed insane

 for taking you away

 cause heaven is to blame

 for taking you

 the lights came to pass

 dead opera motorcrash

gone in a flash unreal

 in nitrous overcast

do you know the way that I can?

do you know the way that I can't choose?

do you know the things that I can?

do you know the things that I can't lose?

tear me apart

tear me apart from you

where is your heart?

where has your heart run to?

 who am I to need you when I'm down

 and where are you when I need you around

 your life is not your own and all I ask you

is for another chance

another way around you

to live by circumstance once again

 who am I to need you now

 to ask you why to tell you no

 to deserve your love and sympathy

 you were never meant to belong to me

 and you may go but I know you won't leave

 too many years built into memories

 your life is not your own

 who am I to need you now

 to ask you why to tell you no

 to deserve your love and sympathy

 you were never meant to belong to me

who am I to you?

 along the way I lost my faith

 and as you were you'll be again

 to mold like clay to break like dirt

 to tear me up in your sympathy

 you were never meant to belong to me

 you were never meant to belong to me

 you were never meant to belong to me

 who am I?

 who am I?

 who am I?

 who am I?

 who am I?

 who am I?

what if the sun refused to shine?

 what if the clouds refused to rain?

what if the wind refused to blow?

 what if the seas refused to wave?

what if the world refused to turn?

 what if the stars would hesitate?

 what if what is isn't true?

 what are you going to do?

 what if what is isn't you?

 does that mean you've got to lose?

 digging for the feel of something new

what if the silence let you dream?

 what if the air could let you breathe?

what if the words would bring you here?

 what if this sound could bring you peace?

 what if what is isn't true?

 what are you going to do?

 digging for the feel of something new

 what if what is isn't you?

 what are you going to do?

 it came from your thoughts your dreams and visions

 ripped up from your weeks and indecisions

what if the sun refused to shine?

 what if the clouds refused to rain?

what if the world refused to turn?

 what if the clocks would hesitate?

 what if what is isn't true?

 what are you going to do?

 what if what is isn't you?

 does that mean you've got to lose?

 digging for the feel of something new

 does that mean you've got to choose?

 the feel of something new

 does that mean you've got to lose?

 the thoughts you cannot lose

 what are you gonna do?

Pug

 Tune:

kiss and kill me sweetly

come and drive me home

drag the miles in me

I am yours alone

inside where it's warm

wrap myself in you

outside where I'm torn

fight myself in two

 in two into you

desire me so deeply

drain and kick me hard

whisper secrets for me

try to go too far

inside where it's warm

wrap myself in you

outside where I'm torn

fight myself in two

 in two in two

please don't change

please don't change at all

bring your rain

bring your rain to fall

inside where it's warm

wrap myself in you

outside where I'm torn

fight myself in two

 in two into you

come and kiss me sweetly

ride the telephone

drag the miles to me

I am yours alone

yours alone

yours alone on the telephone

yours alone looking for a kiss kiss

yours alone

dusty screams through doors and imaginary floors

 "why can't you miss me?"

pistol pete removes the final breaths from her unkind and she is shaken

 what does this mean in love or in peace?

 with you lying next to me

 so faithless serene and she calls to him

 let the waste cross the ancient trails to you

far out beneath the sorrow clouds

 let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you

 let them cry out through your rusted scars

alone he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting

with raven hands she steals and staggers towards her man

 still scorned by his demon

 because he's undone

 become the language of

 disaster and love vengeance and dust

 and she calls to him

 let the waste cross the ancient trails to you

far out beneath the sorrow clouds

 let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you

 let them cry out through your rusted scars

dusty screams through doors and imaginary scenes

 of hurt and teardrop

 as he holds her down in the cold lonely winds

 together again her inside him

 and she calls to him

 let the waste cross the ancient trails to you

far out beneath the sorrow clouds

 let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you

 let them cry out through your rusted scars

 amphetamine annie-dog

 has her leash and a face

 her velvet spleen her shackle spine

 her diamond curse it comes with mine

 a vessel she

 for violent I

 confession arms a wake

mine mine you were always mine

possessed by my taste

 and below the angel dog

 combs her hair and sings her psalms

 the bombs go off she doesn't notice

 it all goes wrong she sets things tragic

 she is venus she is mars

 she's electric and the struggle of

upon her face we leave no trace

 but in her stomach mercury aged

 she holds the blood she carves the knives

 she digs the wires in our babies

 amphetamine annie-dog

 pulls her trash and her stories

 from place to place and bed to bed

 gives of herself and the magnet head

 another floor another ceiling

 counting stars with double meanings

is it wrong to be swallowed whole

 to disappear in her

 to give to her the priceless peace

 of giving up control

 we tumble out into the streets

 and annie-dog she drags her leash

 pretty face ugly mouth

 bitter bred and so released

 and by the no and in the yes

 annie goes if you couldn't guess

 a simple man a sycophant

 her elephant with the laughing cough

 she wants clean sheets and fresh flowers

 and dental shots and the hong kong glue

 amphetamine annie-dog

 has her leash and a face

I've faced the fathoms in your deep

withstood the suitors quiet siege

pulled down the heavens just to please you

 appease you the wind blows and I know

 I can't go on digging roses from your grave

 to linger on beyond the beyond

 where the willows weep

 and whirlpools sleep you'll find me

 the coarse tide reflects sky

 and the night mare rides on

 and the night mare rides on

 with a december black psalm

 and the night mare rides on

 what I fear is lost here

 the wind blows and I know

all you have to do is run away

and steal yourself from me

become a mystery to gaze into

you're so cruel in all you do

but still I believe I believe in you

so may you come with your own knives

 you'll never take me alive

 with all the force of what is true

 is there nothing I can do?

 I can't go on digging roses from your grave

 to linger on beyond the beyond

 where the willows weep

  and whirlpools sleep you'll find me

 and the night mare rides on

 and the night mare rides on

 with a december black psalm

 and the night mare rides on

I've faced the fathoms in your deep

withstood the suitors quiet siege

pulled down the heavens just to please you

to hold the flower I can't keep

whenever I run

wherever I run to you lost one

it's never done

just hanging on

the past has let me be

  returning as if dream

  shattered as belief

if you have to go don't say goodbye

if you have to go don't you cry

if you have to go I will get by

 someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side

but for the grace of love

I'd will the meaning of

heaven from above

but for the grace of love

I'd will the meaning of

heaven from above

your picture out of time

  left aching in my mind

  shadows kept alive

if you have to go don't say goodbye

if you have to go don't you cry

if you have to go I will get by

 I will follow you and see you on the other side

Solo

but for the grace of love

I'd will the meaning of

heaven from above

but for the grace of love

Who'd will the meaning of

heaven from above

long horses we are born

  creatures more than torn

  mourning our way home

blank page was all the rage

 never meant to say anything

 in bed I was half dead

 tired of dreaming of rest

 got dressed drove the state line

 looking for you at the five and dime

 stop sign told me stay at home

 told me you were not alone

 blank page was all the rage

 never meant to hurt anyone

 in bed I was half dead

 tired of dreaming of rest

you haven't changed

 you're still the same

may you rise as you fall

you were easy you are forgotten

you are the ways of my mistakes

I catch the rainfall

through the leaking roof

that you had left behind

 you remind me

 of that leak in my soul

the rain falls

my friends call

leaking rain on the phone

take a day plant some trees

 may they shade you from me

 may your children play beneath

blank page was all the rage

 never meant to say anything

 in bed I was half dead

 tired of dreaming of rest

 got dressed drove the state line

 looking for you at the five and dime

 but there I was picking pieces up

you are a ghost

 of my indecision

no more little girl
