Chords with lyrics
Intro: BB F#F# E MajorE
verse 1
BB
I'm up at six
E MajorE
I get a slice of bread, I cut a hole in it
BB
I crack a little egg into a frying pan
E MajorE
and I try to get my mind turned off
BB
I'm naked now
E MajorE
Because it doesn't really matter when the shades are down
I was born this way I'll die this way
BB E MajorE
I don't know how I'm ever gonna tell myself the truth
C# minorC#m
I live alone
BB A augmentedA
A majorA house without a heart is not a home
F#F#
I think I may destroy these things I own
BB A augmentedA
I'm going back way back to black and red
Inside my haunted head
Instrumental: E MajorE BB A augmentedA
verse 2
E MajorE
I get the prayer shawl on
A augmentedA
I wrap myself in something that is way beyond
E MajorE
anything my mind could get its dirty fingers on
A augmentedA
I'm going through the motions like a champ
E MajorE
I take these aimless drives from two A.M. to four
A augmentedA
I live these secret lives
E MajorE
Identities that all die off not one survives
A augmentedA
By morning there's nobody at the wheel
F# minorF#m
I'm out on Lake Street now
E MajorE D MajorD
I'm coming to a red light but there's no one around
BB
The law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down
E MajorE D MajorD
It's talking in a language long since dead
Inside my haunted head
Instrumental: A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
verse 3
A augmentedA
I'm having too much fun
D MajorD
My arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum
I'm kneeling at the throne
A augmentedA
I'm stricken deaf and dumb
D MajorD
I'm learning what it means to really pray
A augmentedA
Tried to get cute with pain
I thought I could avoid it
D MajorD
Thought I knew that game
A augmentedA
But just when you get the hang of it the rules all change
D MajorD
and you're doing time for crimes that don't exist
B minorBm
So I sit and wait
A augmentedA G+G
til I can finally see the sense it makes
E MajorE
I know this sick world's bound to be explained
A augmentedA G+G
So I'm hanging on if only by a thread
Inside my haunted head
D MajorD G+G
(Haunted, ha-ha-haunted head)
