Intro:
G+G FF x 4

Verse:
G+G
Lady future's arms are lily white
FF
They stretch before you come inside
G+G
There's room enough, she's generous
FF
Come on, come up, while we're still young

G+G
You want to love your life from a prison?
FF
Of all this uninvited altruism
G+G
The homemade weapons you're fashioning
FF
Are hellbent on doing us both in

Chorus:
G+G
You never mean what you say

Why don't you say what you mean?
FF
I never get anywhere

I get the space in between
G+G
Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You better mean what you say

Why don't you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

G+G
Let's begin at the beginning

Let us revisit the past
FF
Like when the houselights are dimming

Like silver screen photograph

G+G
It makes a beautiful sound

When nobody else is around
FF
It has a wonderful way

Of eating up entire days

G+G
We'll go swimming in libations
FF
Forgive unexplained lacerations
G+G
The otherworldly manifestations
FF
I could live in the breath you're wasting

I get the space in between
