[Intro 1]
[G]
[F]
[G][F]

[Verse 1]
You wanted an [G]effigy
of me so true it [F]bleeded
Each hair a filament of glass
formed while heated
Assumed you'd see [G]bright
blooms and fruit trees
With the root things [F]weeded
What your new scene needed
So that's what we [C]did
What [G]was unclean was played and sung
Then framed [C]and hung till [F]lame
and num[C]b
And then re[F]peated
Cause that's when the [G]fame will come
And the game [C]is won
And your [F]name is rung
in every ear like a secret
I [C]gotta keep my

[Verse 2]
[D]distance to withstand
the silence of you [C]missing
When you're [D]not there to listen
to listen to [G]this nonsense
[D]Keep my distance to withstand
the silence of you [F]missing
When [G]you're not there

[Verse 3]
Now I'm [G]pushing past 30
If I bow out as the [F]years close in
Abandon my sound man and
band and them
I'll [G]give no blushing curtsey
[C]To the proud [F]shouts of close [C]kin
I ground it into ground [F]and then some,
friends
[G]Just drop a dusty curtain on the loud
crowd when the show [F]ends
And [C]end the whole thing where
no men [F]found me
[G]I'm so fucking thirsty
In a [C]cold cloud [F]only of my own
And lonely worsens, surrounds me
I [G]gotta keep my

[Verse 4]
[D]distance to withstand
the silence of you [F]missing
When [D]you're not there
to listen to listen to [G]this nonsense
[D]Keep my distance to withstand
the silence of you [F]missing
When you're [G]not there

[Verse 5]
Men and women [F]might yet quote his
modicum of [Am]the truth[C]
But never will they [F]get right close
to Jonathan [Am]Avram Wolf[C]
[Am]Cause I gott[C]a keep my

[Verse 6]
[D]distance to withstand
the silence of you [C]missing
When you're [D]not there to listen to listen
to this nonsense
Keep my distance to withstand
the silence of you [F]missing
When you're [G]not there
