D

            G           C
She fell in love with a boy
                     G
Who spoke her second language
        G                C
And who lived across the ocean
       D
In the evil empire

    G                 C
He awoke her sleeping heart
                   G
And swept away the darkness
    C            G
An acute fear of flying
         D
Couldn't keep her away
        G       C
Oh, oh, oh

      G
C     G
D

She landed on her feet
And joined his fledgling rock group
As they toured the evil empire
Selling t-shirts at the shows

She taught him what was real
She taught him he was okay
That his thoughts were not just rubbish
That he had something good to give

          Am
Still his heart was so ambivalent and hopesick
                 G                 Bm
Of her he wasn't ever sure
    Am
But she gave in so sweetly that the spirit said
                    Em          D
"Boy, you better go run to her (run to her)"

So when she split, he hopped on a plane
With his parents and his brother
He told her that he loved her
They were married in the summer

Oh, oh, oh

2. Voltaic Crusher/Undrum to the Muted Da



Capo on 1st fret


          G                        D
I write a thousand songs for you a day
      C                G         D
But I never run out of things to say
          C                       Eb
You're my Ulysses that I'll never end
           Bb                         C
Now that I fucked up, lost you, sweet friend

G#                   F#              E
Everything is in the trash, and it's my fault
     G#              F#             E
I've destroyed us, I know, it's unrecoverable
             C                       D
If there's a God he will repair your heart
             G                C
If there's a God, send her an angel
                                     D
Make him handsome and clever and not crazy
                         G       C
And you notice something wonderful
                              Eb
Someone to love her volcanically

                    G                      Bb
And please, please, please God, don't be a bastard
                   Eb                          Bb
Christ knows she deserves something nice for a change
                   Eb                          Bb
Christ knows she deserves something nice for a change

       G              D
I am a flaw, I'm a mistake
     C              G     D
I am faulty, always break
  C                                  Eb
I tried, no-one'll believe me, but I did
           Bb                      C
I tried to mature, be responsible, dot dot dot
                G
But my heart is juvenile
       D
And my character's not so hot

    C                              D
You gave me your hand, I gave you a fist
             G                   C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
           D
I hardly exist
    C                              D
You gave me your hand, I gave you a fist
             G                   C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
           D
I hardly exist
            C                     D
You gave me everything, still I resist
             G                   C
Please don't lose any sleep over me, baby
           D
I hardly exist
           C
I hardly exist

Note: while most of the chords are power chords, Kevin sometimes lets the
next note of the bar chord in, particularly on chords that start on the
low E string. Also some of the chords that are on the A string include a
note on the E string (i.e. at the same fret as the bass note)

I see me looking back
Cmaj7        A7        Dm7         G7
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart

Yeah, you own my heart

Yeah, you own my heart
           Fmaj7
Let's stay together

Sweet friend, was I born to give you a name
And then be erased
All because I couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together?

Little friend, I know I've made it
So, so much harder on us
And lost you
Because I couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together

When I look in your eyes
I see me looking back
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart

Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself      myself

                C
There's someone calling my name
            C#dim7
But there's nothing to respond
  Bb
I lost so much in our collapse
Bbm
Man, my little hope is gone

        (muted)F
The voice said don't worry friend
    Bb
The darkness is just a suggestion
   F
Oh don't worry kid
     Bb
This darkeness is just a suggestion
   F
Oh don't worry Kevin

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself myself
 F6/C   Bb
Myself myself

There's someone calling my name
But there's nothing to respond
I lost so much in our collapse
Man, my little hope is gone

The voice said don't worry friend
The darkness is just a suggestion
Oh don't worry kid
This darkeness is just a suggestion
Oh don't worry kid

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself myself
Myself myself

F
C

      D
I'm allergic to the world when we're separated
There's nothing in my heart that's worth the beating
               C
Feeling like a styrofoam prop
Ennui is eating
D
            C
Oh sure we talk and talk
But nothing worth repeating
F
G        F#
I feel defeated

        Em             B7
Now I'm O.D.ing on your cocksucker blues
    A7
You make me uptight
         B7         Em/F# Em
When you just don't work  right
    Bm                                C
You painted my prison now something's wrong
      Bb                   C          F
And I never ever wanted to write this song

F         Bb

                   F  F#  G#
Because I've never been
  Bbm              B    E           F#
Because I've never been honest with anyone

F13            E7             F13           E7            A
Always pulling faces from the unreposessing places of the universal mind

    D
I'm crippled by the world when we're divided
There's nothing in my heart that's worth the clicking
               C
Feeling like a Pamplona bull that's finished kicking
D

            C
Although we try to break the loop
It's always stuck repeating

I feel defeated
I feel defeated
I feel defeated

(instrumental section goes much longer, same chords)

Now I'm O.D.ing on your cocksucker blues
You make me uptight
When you just don't work right
    Bm                                C
You painted my prison now something's wrong
      Bb                   C          F
And I never ever wanted to write this song
  Am                          Bb
I always thought things would change somehow
             C#dim7         Gm
And we would start getting along
         C         Bb
But it's hopeless, hopeless

And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless

And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless

And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless
