• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Intermediate

A augmentedA C#C# D MajorD x2

A augmentedA      C# minorC#m   D MajorD
Bloodstains on faded pictures
    A augmentedA
And it comes in waves
    C# minorC#m       D MajorD
As the shouts turn into whispers
       A augmentedA
Thoughts keep running through her brain
     C# minorC#m            D MajorD
Make the pounding in her heart beat quicker
    A augmentedA
Says it all comes down to the run-around
     C# minorC#m        D MajorD
And as a book slips in her fingers
       A augmentedA                   C# minorC#m    D MajorD
Says I donâ??t really think the drugs they've got can pull it off
       A augmentedA                C# minorC#m    D MajorD
So Iâ??m gonna sell my blood to a man I met in Simonâ??s Rock
      A augmentedA          C# minorC#m   D MajorD
Heâ??s got a plan to put me in a diamond top
      A augmentedA                C# minorC#m   D MajorD
And make a grand playin' geriatric glam nostalgia rock

       A augmentedA
Shaken to the core
Breaks in the door
     C# minorC#m            D MajorD
Makes out twenty-five laying on the floor
          A augmentedA
All praying to the Lord

But the prayingâ??s ignored
         C# minorC#m           D MajorD
Saying that they shouldâ??ve been praying before
And he wonâ??t

   A augmentedA                    C# minorC#m
And woke that night to the rains of nuclear war and
    D MajorD  A augmentedA          C# minorC#m    D MajorD
And she said oh my soulâ??s gotten cold and lost
           A augmentedA
And Iâ??m throwing it out

A augmentedA
Oh, wonâ??t you go
     C# minorC#m        D MajorD
Make the most of a bad existence
       A augmentedA         C# minorC#m         D MajorD
â??Cause youâ??re so much older than she ever planned to live with
       A augmentedA
And she says: Everybody knows the difference
    C# minorC#m        D MajorD
Between right to try and a life of lies
     A augmentedA            C# minorC#m   D MajorD
And if you go the distance, go the distance
        A augmentedA
Iâ??ll fall behind

A augmentedA    C# minorC#m      D MajorD
Eighteen with a sex addiction
    A augmentedA              C# minorC#m       D MajorD
And he states his dreams in written online erotica fiction
      A augmentedA
Accounts of places he ainâ??t been
     C# minorC#m      D MajorD
About relationships and vision
     A augmentedA                  C# minorC#m
Types: Tomorrow nightâ??s been a long time coming
           D MajorD
If theyâ??d have only listened

        A augmentedA
Shaking in the night, wakes and he writes
      C# minorC#m           D MajorD
Twenty-five ways you can waste your life
           A augmentedA
Says he takes what he likes
Breaks with the light
     C# minorC#m           D MajorD
Makes for Boston with his fate decided
    A augmentedA                   C# minorC#m
Says he prays that every thoughtâ??s been pre-assigned to him
       D MajorD
â??Cause itâ??s blinding to know
A augmentedA          C# minorC#m   D MajorD
Oh my soulâ??s gotten cold and lost
            A augmentedA
And Iâ??m throwing it out

A augmentedA
Oh, wonâ??t you go
     C# minorC#m        D MajorD
Make the most of a bad existence
       A augmentedA         C# minorC#m         D MajorD
â??Cause youâ??re so much older than she ever planned to live with
       A augmentedA
And she says: Everybody knows the difference
    C# minorC#m        D MajorD
Between right to try and a life of lies
     A augmentedA            C# minorC#m   D MajorD
And if you go the distance, go the distance

      A augmentedA  C# minorC#m D MajorD
Iâ??ll fall behind
       A augmentedA
I'll fall behind
