intro: (acoustic scratching noises preparing the
listener for a definitive rocker)
G C
the city has sex with itself i suppose
D G (G/F#)
as the concrete collides, well the scenery grows
G C
and the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed
D (G)
having exposed their wounds for each other
G C
and there is a boy in a basement with a four track
D G
machine he?s been strumming and screaming all night,
(G/F#) G C
down there.the tape hiss will cover the words that he
D
sings but then they say it?s better to bury your
C G
sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the
A C D
spring to awake from its sleep and burst into green
G Em
and i?ve cried and you would think i would better for
D
it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in your
C G G
spine for the rest of your life and i?ve learned and
Em
you?d think i?d be something more now, but it just
D C
goes to show it is not what you know its what you were
G
thinking at the time. (then)

repeat same repetition of verse/chorus music for last
verse:
this feeling?s familiar, i?ve been here before
in a kitchen this quiet i waited for a sign or just
somethingthat might reassure me of anything close to
meaning or motion (with a reason to move)i need
something i want to be close to
and i scream, but i still don?t know why i do it
because the sound never stays it just swells and
decays
so what is the point?
why try to fight what is now so certain?
the truth is all that i am is a passing event that
will be forgotten.
