Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  wait-wait-wait-

  before you go i want you to know

  all that you were and the sound that you made when you moved

  before you leave i need you to see

  all that you mean, you would hardly believe it

  (bass build-up on )

Verse 1

  sitting in the kitchen wondering how it is i'll tell you this

  when the phone rings, so i start right in then:

  we are shells or instruments, inside there's sound that speaks to us

  if you listen, and i've been listening

Chorus 1

  and i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit

  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got

  sorry to confuse you with some foolish thing that misses truth

  but maybe that's all we are, around a brightly dying star

Verse 2

  these spiralled shells so sexual, could out-reveal the texts

  we dwell upon, or maybe not, but certainly

  a sound that's free can open me and easily

  just rip my heart out, and start me shouting:

Interlude 1

played on piano)

  this is how i feel... (repeat)

Chorus 2

  i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit

  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got

  sorry to abuse you with this ruthlessly sadistic music

  but maybe that's all i want (i'm just a really pretentious guy)

Interlude 2

  but wait! wait! wait! wait! wait! wait!

  before you go, i want you to know

  all that you were, and the sound that you made when you moved

  before you leave, i need you to see

am D (start making it funky!)

all that you mean, you would hardly believe it

  you would hardly believe it, you would hardly believe it...

  if i could just speak it, you would hardly believe it...

  you would hardly believe

Outro

piano again)

  but this is how i feel...
