Introduction:
D
Oh what am I waiting for
Bm G
A spell to be cast or for it to be broken
D
At the very last!
Bm G D
Some white ghost from my past comes to split me wide open, oh.
Bm G
If I bandage my eyes, will you press in my hand a small simple token
A Bm G
I was born deaf or else you've never spoken.
D D6 Bm G D
D
I thought it was safe for me and my own,
Bm G D
I began hearing these voices in the dial tone.
D Bm G D
And they come to me now, though I dismember my phone.
D
They say you want to hear something that you already know,
Bm G D
If it comes from above, but this one comes from below.
D Bm G D
It says, "You are sleeping together, but you will die alone."
D Bm G D
Ooooo-OoOOOooOOooOOO-OOOOooOoooOOooo!
D Bm G D
Ooooo-OoOOOooOOooOOO-OOOOooOoooOOooo!
D
I thought it was safe once the seed had been sown,
Bm G D
As a child I aspired to be a superhero.
D
Now I live with the corpses for the lives I let go,
Bm G D
Well I know you all know how these things start to show.
D
I've been trying to make myself better,
Bm D
So I can fare the fare foul weather.
Bm D
I write a song like a prison letter.
G Bm
I write a song maybe to make me feel better,
G
It won't break free my fetters.
G
oooooooooOOOOOOO-OOOHHHHHH!!!
D Bm G D
Ooooo-OoOOOooOOooOOO-OOOOooOoooOOooo!
D Bm G D
Ooooo-OoOOOooOOooOOO-OOOOooOoooOOooo!
D
I know what came after, but what happened before
Bm G D
I began making memories at the age of four.
D
Well I learned to use words,I got jealous and bored.
Bm G D
Soon I'll be passing out cold on the kitchen floor.
Bm G D
Soon I'll be passing out cold on the kitchen floor.
D
Singing, "When am I gonna feel better
Bm D
I said when am I gonna feel better
Bm D
I said when am I gonna feel better
G
I have been patient for a long time now.
D
I've been patient for a long time now.
Bm D
I've been patient for a long time now.
Bm D
I've been patient for a long time now.
G D
And I will never be a younger man now.."
1! 2! 1, 2, 3! 4, 5, 6!
D
Oh what am I waiting for
Bm G D
A spell to be cast or for it to be broken!
D
At the very last!
Bm G D
Some white ghost from my past comes to split me wide open, oh!
D
If I hold out my hand there,
Bm
Nothing at all!
G
And Nothings a token!
A Bm G
I will be good though my body be broken, (I will be good though my body be broken)
I will be good though my body be broken, (I will be good though my body be broken)
A Bm A G
I will be good, may I want for nothing at all.
