Bm A G D
Now coming down out of this swandive to your arms
Bm A G D
I make no sound as I move through your reservoirs
Bm
I wake up quick and I wake up sick as you
Bm A G A D
Abandon me into these fields of rank and file
Bm A G D
Through this crowd I hear you breathing
Bm A G D Em F#
Through these bars I watch them bring more in
D F#m G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
D F#m G
Where I slow-dance to this romance on my own
Em F#m A
It may be two to tango, but boy, it's one to let go
Bm A G D
It's just one to let go
Bm A G D
Now boy keep still, don't spread yourself around
Bm A G D
Get back in line, eat your bread and just work the plow
Bm
'Cause you're not through, we're not done with you, did you
Bm A G A D
think you were the only one who's been let down?

Sleep tight little boys of the new damned

Another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand

Now another bad idea gets through
G D Em A
Down the assembly line to you
Bm
You're every bride I should have burned
Bm
Every lesson I've unleared
Bm A G D
Now in this smoke filled waiting room with
Bm A G D
Incarcerated lovesick fools I will
Em F#
Wait for you to cut me loose
But till then
D F#m G
I send back letters from the waseland home
D F#m G
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own
D F#m G
I send back letters from the wasteland home
D F#m G
From where I slow dance to this romance on my own
