D
Hatred ,I hate the past
D                                  F      D
I can't see anything at all, all I see is me
D
That?s clear enough
D                           F      D
And that?s whats important, to see me

D
My eyes can focus. My brain is talking
F                    D
Looks pretty good to me
D
My head?s on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
F                    D
Looks pretty good to me


D
Sometimes I speak tonight there?s nothing to say
D
Sometimes we freak
     F         D
And laugh all day


D
Hold these pages up to the light
D        F                     D
See the jacknife inside of the dream
D
A railroad runs through the record stores at night
F                      D
Coming in for the deep freeze


D
Mary: a simple word,
D       F                  D
are you there in the  cold country?
D
Your eyes so full, your head so tight
F              D
Can't you hear me?


D
Remember our talk that day on the phone?
D          F                     D
I was the door, and you were the station
D
With shattered glass and miles between us
D        F                      D
We still flew away in the conversation


D
My cup is full, and I feel okay
D            F             D
The world is dull, but not today


D
She think?s she's a goddess
D             F           D
She says she talks to the spirits
D
I wonder if she can talk to herself?
D          F            D
If she can bear to hear it?


D
This is Eric?s trip
D                 F         D
We've all come to watch him slip
D
He's slipping all the way to Texas
F       D
Can you dig it?


D
I see with a glass eye the pavement view
D
A shadow forming, across the fields rushing
F          D
Thru me to you


D
We tore down the world, and put up four walls
   F             D
I breathe in the myth
D
I'm over the city, fucking the future
    F                    D
I'm high and inside your kiss


D
We can't see clear
D           F        D
But what we see is a alright
D
We make up what we can't hear
D           F        D
And then we sing all night


D
Scattered pages and shattered lights
       F                   D
See a jackknife and see a dream
D
There?s something moving over there on the right
     F                  D
Like nothing I've never seen
