Intro: Am7 Dsus2


Am7          Dsus2
  I´ve watched the stars fall silent
from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
  I can´t believe that I
believed I wished that you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve


C   C/B    Am
  I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
  I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
  Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground


Am7     Dsus2
  And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don´t want to stay around
  Why can´t we pantomime, just
close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet


C    C/B    Am
  I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
  I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
  Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground


Am   C    G      D    Am
  I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons
  C    G (hold)    Am
I´m keeping flowers in full bloom
  C      G        D     C
I´m looking for answers from the great beyond


      Am7        D2
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon


C    C/B    Am
  I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
  I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
  Over my shoulder a piano falls
G
Crashing to the ground

  I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m looking for answers from the great
C
Answers from the great, answers

Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set
of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying
of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've
played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.

[VERSE 1]
G   Am
  Oh, life is bigger
Em
  It's bigger than you
      Am
And you are not me.
            Em
The lengths that I will go to,
           Am
The distance in your eyes,
Em           Dm
  Oh no, I've said too much,
     G
I set it up.



[CHORUS]
         Am
That's me in the corner,
         Em
That's me in the spotlight
      Am
Losing my religion.
     Em
Trying to keep up with you.
   Am
And I don't know if I can do it.
Em           Dm
  Oh no, I've said too much,
        G
I haven't said enough.

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Em           Dm
  Oh no, I've said too much,
     G
I set it up.

What if all these fantasies

Come  flailing around?

Now I've said too much.

Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise


The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter

Fields of poppies, little pearls

All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed

Each and every one a little scary

I said your name


I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars

Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras

Dreaming of Maria Callas

Whoever she is

This fame thing, I don't get it

I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it

Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves

I can take you far
This star thing,
I don't get it

I'll take you over, there


I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near


I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over



Will you live to 83?

Will you ever welcome me?

Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?

Smoke it, drink

Here comes the flood

Anything to thin the blood

These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet

Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light

Aluminum, the weakest link


I don't want to disappoint you

I'm not here to anoint you

I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?

I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow

And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?

My loss, and here we go again



I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near


I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over



Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes

Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene

Cherry-flavored neck and collar

I can smell the sorrow on your breath

The sweat, the victory and sorrow

The smell of fear, I got it



I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near


I'll take you over

It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over


Pulls us near

Tastes like fear.


Nearer, nearer

Over, over, over, over

Yeah, look over

I'll take you there, oh, yeah

I'll take you there

Oh, over

I'll take you there

Over, let me

I'll take you there..

There, there, baby, yeah

Hey what's the big deal?

Tell me how to feel? 

I know where we boomeranged and fell from grace. 

Point me to the stars I'm up for the chase.

I know where we fell on our face. 

Jump with me. 
You jump with me.

I'm an animal. 
(The future and the truth, on my rooftop. Whoa.) 

I'm an animal. 
(It's calling me to work it out.) [x2]

(Whoa) 



I don't wanna boomerang. 

I don't wanna cannonball.

I'm not angling.

I don't want to fall.

Tell me I'm the anchor of my own ascension. 

Tell me I'm a tourist in the 4th dimension? 



Hey, what's the big deal-

I'm an animal. 
(The answer landed on my rooftop. Whoa.)
 
I'm an animal. 
(The future and the truth, on my rooftop. Whoa.)

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.

Still, it's so much clearer.

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.

The moon is low tonight.



Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

I'm not sure all these people understand.

It's not like years ago,

The fear of getting caught,

Of recklessness and water.

They cannot see me naked.

These things, they go away,

Replaced by everyday.



Nightswimming, remembering that night.

September's coming soon.

I'm pining for the moon.

And what if there were two

Side by side in orbit

Around the fairest sun?

That bright, tight forever drum

Could not describe nightswimming.


You, I thought I knew you.

You I cannot judge.

You, I thought you knew me,

this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.

Nightswimming.



The photograph reflects,

Every streetlight a reminder.

Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
