Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro:
C2 C x8
Verse 1:
C C/B Am
Cookie cried for three days, till she couldn't cry no more
C F G
She ate the fridge, jumped the bridge and wound up bloated on the shore
F C F
The children they all pointed at another painted score
Dm Em F G C
And somebody asked, "Can I take a picture?"
C C/B Am
Well, the heat down here is brutal, it's hard to do what's right
C F G
The locals shout, "You won't burn out if you don't ever shine too bright"
F C F
I wish I was in your back pocket or in your arms tonight
Dm Em F G C
I wish that I was loud so you could hear me
Chorus:
Em Am
But oh, no
Em Am
What else must I be?
Em Am F G
It's all inside my head I guess but it reminds me
C F Am G
That I need you, honey I need you
C F Am G
There ain't nobody who can supersede you
C F Am G C
We're not such strangers, honey I need you right now
Verse 2:
C C/B Am
Now the streets are paved with petals, the parade is coming through
C F G
It kind of feels like royalty cause' everyone's in blue
F C F
And yellow flowers falling from a window, too
Dm Em F G C
Falling at the feet of such a coward
C C/B Am
Ah, the mayor is kissing babies, he's almost way too kind
C F G
We're filled to the brim with honest men, they're just way too hard to find
F C F
So stare into his public eyes and watch his clock unwind
Dm Em F G C
Then find him old and drowning in the deep end
Chorus:
Em Am
But oh, no
Em Am
What else must I see?
Em Am F G
It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me
C F Am G
That I need you, honey I need you
C F Am G
There ain't nobody who can supersede you
C F Am G C
We're not such strangers, honey I need you right now
Verse 3:
C C/B Am
Yes, I long for a hickory morning with a waltz and trumpet flare
C F G
I'm doing my best to recover from what time cannot repair
F C F
I'm sick of all this solitude and pre-rehearsed despair
Dm Em F G C
My eyes are a hundred miles away from sleeping
C C/B Am
Well I wish you'd write a letter, or telephone to me
C F G
This place is dark and there ain't a spark of who I used to be
F C F
So the sick hearts of the unloved tell the brave souls of the sea
Dm Em F G C
"We're all closed up, why don't you come back when we're open"
Chorus:
Em Am
But oh, no
Em Am
What else must I be?
Em Am F G
It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me
C F Am G
That I need you, honey I need you
C F Am G
There ain't nobody who can supersede you
C F Am G C
We're not such strangers, honey I need you right now
Verse 4:
C C/B Am
There's a cracked and pale mirror that's hanging on my wall
C F G
The church bell rings and the choir sings, I can hear them from the hall
F C F
Now you might not believe it, but there was no fire at all
Dm Em F G C
We danced for seven days wishing for water
C C/B Am
Ah, Sagrinnon tells the fortunes, they line around the bend
C F G
A dollar for your problems, and five to know the end
F C F
They come from miles around, just like a pack of howling men
Dm Em F G C
I wonder what she does with all that money
Chorus:
Em Am
Ah but oh, no
Em Am
What else must I be?
Em Am F G
It's all inside my head I guess but it reminds me
C F Am G
That I need you, honey I need you
C F Am G
There ain't nobody who could supersede you
C F Am G C
We're not such strangers, honey I need you right now
Verse 5:
C C/B Am
Ah, a simple sidewalk painter, says his life is such a bore
C F G
He spends his time with a jug of wine and a palette on the floor
F C F
He screams, "Heaven! Take my eyes, because I can't paint no more."
Dm Em F G C
Honey, sometimes I, I feel just like his colors
C C/B Am
I'm gonna go down to the ocean, I'm gonna to fill my boots with sand
C F G
The next time that you see me, I'll be a much more grounded man
F C F
So go and do whatever it is you do and I'll do what I can
Dm Em F G C
And when we meet again you can try to know me
Chorus:
Em Am
But oh, no
Em Am
What else must I see?
Em Am F G
It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me
C F Am G
That I need you, honey I need you
C F Am G
There ain't nobody who can supersede you
C F Am G C
We're not such strangers, honey I need you right now

Verse 6:
C C/B Am
They call me pessimistic, but it occured to me
C F G
That babies are all born crying and dying is never free
F C F
But I still can't shake that feeling, that somebody's watching me
Dm Em F G C
I just thought that I would tell you
