[C]He [Am]smoke[F]s[G][C][F][G][C]
himself into [F]double [G]vision
[Am]Leaves his mind [Dm]on an indeci[G]sion,
[C]Thinks he's invented ima[F]gin[G]ation
[D]Says that god is some [E]relation.
[Am]He leaves his cigarette
[F]burning on the desk

[F]make up such a mess,
Sit[Dm]ting up in bed [G]transistor on his [E]chest
In [Fm]quintessence.

[Verse 2]
[C]He and his friends sit [F]around [G]all evening
[Am]Leaving their laughter
[Dm]upon the ceil[G]ing,
[C]Seems so funny yet it
[F]leaves [G]me yawning
[D]Then I find it's the follow[E]ing morning.
[Am]He says his girlfriend
[F]lives too far away
[C]Always at a friend's house [F]or on holiday,
His [Dm]bible of romance hides it[G]self [E]away
In [Fm]quint[C]essence.[Am]

With us all
[E]In quintessence.
