CAPO 2
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
The only question now is "How long can it take?"
E minorEm A minorAm
It's all hanging on you
D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Just make your move before you have no move to make
D MajorD C majorC
There's no future, there's no lighthouse on the lake
E minorEm A minorAm
You're just rambling through
D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Endless corridors; ??a mouse lost in a maze
D MajorD C majorC
You gotta calm yourself and try to concentrate
E minorEm A minorAm
What survives in the fire?
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC
What small fragment after all else disintegrates?
C majorC
The only question now's "How long 'til it breaks?"
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm
I come home and the door is hanging open
E minorEm C majorC
The smoke alarm is howling, the bathroom mirror is broken
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Find you standing in the backyard pouring gas on the bonfire
G+G A minorAm
Ass-naked in the middle of December
E minorEm C majorC
The shame you don't recall with the clothes you don't remember in flames
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Tearing pages of notebooks ??in the embers, your makeshift funeral pyre
G+G A minorAm
I toss and turn all night then it comes to me
E minorEm C majorC
It's you that can't shake out the shards in your memory
G+G A minorAm E minorEm
So you've engaged in this scorched-earth policy
C majorC
'Til there's nothing, there's nothing
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
G+G A minorAm
Later on, claiming wolves replaced your family
E minorEm C majorC
You raised your hand against me with the newspaper you can't read
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Then you wrapped yourself in an op-ed on the construct of history
G+G A minorAm
The mark of time is elaborately long
E minorEm C majorC
It's a Spirograph drawn with no breaksâ??just goes on and on
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
And here we are on the cutting room floor, slicing fugues
G+G A minorAm
I toss and turn all night, but there's no relief
E minorEm C majorC
I went into your room, you were sound asleep
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
So I stayed for awhile watching you grind your teeth
G+G A minorAm
And when you wake, there's a moment as you rise
E minorEm C majorC
You feel it all coming back and you realize
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
You tried to amputate the parts that made you scared to die
B minorBm
Now it'll kill you if you let it
C majorC
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
As I watch the light fade from your eyes
C majorC
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
As I watch the light fade from your eyes
C majorC
B minorBm A minorAm D MajorD
As I watch the light fade from your eyes
C majorC B minorBm
You're a black hole bending light beams backwards
A minorAm D MajorD
Center caving, self-collapsing inwards
C majorC B minorBm
Against the infinite and you have no stature
A minorAm D MajorD
Shrinking infinitely out of the picture
C majorC B minorBm
You pull the lever trying to break the pattern
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC G+G A minorAm E minorEm
See the crocus in the dead of Winter
