EmListen to the sounds of ringing out around you
Bmthese are the cries of a dying breed
EmPolitics of hate you'd never get around to 
Bmblood over brains that we never need
EmI saw you in the back, studied and relaxed 
Bmfixed in the post like a silent stone 
EmSerenity and tact, it's the feeling that I lack 
BmLife in the floors of a stable home 

        G                          DI can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell 
           G                        DYou're a breath to the runner in contest 
     G                          F#          BmIn close to the nerve, but you rest so far away
                G           Aand I have to give it up someday 

D                      A                  GEvery time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
F#m              Em         D Pretending in a love like this 
             A                      EmI have no choice but to put you in back of me
        G          A Don't cover my footsteps
Bm                                       G Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me 
Bm                                          GDead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader 
D                        A                              EmYou're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me 
                           GYou have to touch me with kid gloves 
                          BmYou have to touch me with kid gloves

BmBody to the wind, you talk me out of standstill 
EmI never felt so alive at once 
BmFinger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still 
Empressed to the drain of the coming months 

         Em Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k
         CCheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore 
         G                       F                   EmCheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself 

Yes I’m a vanity whore 

              G                            DBecause it's race and it's power at the center of life, 
        G                      Dwe’re blind to the people who need us, 
      G                                     F#           Bmbut you're the kind of person who could understand that fault 
                 G           Aand I hope to measure you someday.
