Flatline Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em]
[Am]Ah,

[Verse 1]
[Em]
[Eb]the exquisite agony of withdrawal
Feels like some kind of voodoo [Em]curse
[Eb]Push me full of pins, baby,
or just pull them all out
I [Em]can't even tell you which is worse
[G]Why'd he have to go and tempt me?
I told him all about my
insufferable [Em]thirst
Started out [G]all nice and friendly
We were moving and fast forward
And wound up a [Em]champ in the reverse
[Am]T -Fog to the Flatline Captain
Head me into the wind
Don't [Em]feel my sail
[Am]T -Fog to the Flatline Captain
Take a chill pill
Oh, [Em]be still, my beating heart, be still
[Eb]Go up on the internet, but Christ, Eliza
Are really that desperate for
a fix [Em]or a connection?
Lady Chat[Eb]terley in the chatroom
Surrealistic cyber bathroom
You [Em]could still wind up
with some kind of viral infection
You think [F]thoughts don't [G]build highways,
move mountains, burn bridges,
but [Em]you've got another thing coming
It's [F]till you keep [G]traveling sideways
and winding up in these ditches
while the dis[Em]passionate clock
is continually running
[Am]Default to the flatline, captain,
drive me into the wind, don't [Em]feel my sail
[Am]Default to the flatline, captain,
take a chill pill, be [Em]still,
my beating heart, be still
[Eb]As my kids and my family
and my shrink and my friends all say,
take a break [Em]for the sake of your
overworked heart and mind.
Give it [Eb]a rest, girl, you're stressed,
you're so depressed,
you're in a process,
[Em]and it's gonna take a little time.
Ah, [F]but this was different,
he was brilliant, an exile,
he made me [G]laugh, and besides, it
[Em]Seven months, thirteen days,
and a very long hour
[G]Okay, pull up the drawbridge,
hand [F]me my spin[G]ning wheel and my axe
I'll go [Em]willingly to my cell up in the tower
[Am]T -fog to the flatline, captain,
drive me into the wind
Don't [Em]fill my sail
[Am]To fall to the flatline, captain,
take a chill pill
Be [Em]still, my beating heart, be still
So I'll [Eb]strap on the old iron belt,
wall off the secret garden
And hide [Em]away in a golden key
Put up road[Eb]blocks on my highways,
padlocks on my heart,
and it'd be com[Em]plicated trying
to get in touch with me.
Oh, but some[G]where out there
in the wilderness,
Prince Androgynous
is dragging his sorry as[Em]s around on the
back of a worn -down mule.
May[G]be by the time he gets here,
he won't be a prince anymore,
and I won't be [Em]such a fool,
such a fool for love
[Am]T -42 flatline captain,
hit me in the wind, don't [Em]fill my seat
[Am]Default to the flatline, captain,
take a chill pill,
[Em]be still my beating heart,
be still my heart, be still.
