--Intro:
: Em Em Em Em Em C C D D :
--Verse 1:
[Em] Make[Em] a [Em]hole [Em]with [Em]a [C]gun p[C]erpen[D]dic[D]ular
To the name of this town in a desktop globe
[E] Exit[E] wo[E]und [E]in [E] a [Am]for--[G]eign [C]na-[G]tion
[D]Showing [D]the [D]home [D]of th[D]e [Am]one t[Am]his was [D]writte[D]n for
My apartment looks upside down from there (Same chords as above)
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool, and it never ends
--Chorus:
[G]Ana [D]ng and I [C]are getting old and we [D]still haven't walked in[G] the glow
[Bb]Of [Bb]each other[C]'s majest[D]ic [D]presence
[G]Listen [D]Ana hear [C]my words, they're the [D]ones you would think I [G]would say
[Bb]If [Bb]there was a [C]me for you[D][D]
--Verse 2:
All alone at the sixty-four world's fair
Eighty dolls yelling "small girl after all"
Who was at the DuPont pavillion
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wires
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in back of the edge of hearing
These are the words that the voice was repeating:
Chorus
--Bridge:
[C]When I was [D]driving once I [G]saw this [D]painted [C]on a bridge[C]
I don't want the [D]world I ju[C]st want you[G]r half[C]
--Verse 3:
(Third verse, little different from the first...)
[Em] They [Em]don[Em]'t need me[Em] [Em] [C]here [C]and I [D]know [D]you're there
Where the world goes by like the humid air
[E] And i[E]t [E]sticks [E]like [E]a [Am]broke[G]n [C]recor[G]d
[D] Every[D]thing [D]sticks [D]like [D]a [Am]broke[G]n [C]recor[G]d
Everything sticks un til it goes away
[D]And the truth is we [Am]don't know [D]anything
Chorus
C (Sound effects) D (Sound effects)
Repeat (and fade)
