[Intro 1]
[Em]
[Am][C]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
If you fail to see a [Em]problem,
(which I find hard to believe), or if you're hanging on from benches licking honey from the leaves you say,
"The hopelessness of living,
[Am]the childi[Em]shness of suicide!"
But there's a call to love my brother that can never be destroyed,
however much you talk.
However well you talk you make a certain
sense - It's still only stupid talk.
However much I strut around, [Am]however loud [Em]I sing,
the shining one inside of me won't say [G]anything.

[Verse 2]
[Em]Oh, [G]to w[Em]ait one [G]thin[Em]g! P[G]uri[Em]ty[G][Em]
[G]of the hea[Em]rt is [G]to want one thing.

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Em]
You'll remind [Am]me that I said

[Verse 3]
[Em]you were a
quiet bed in all my noise to rest
Well I [Am]was charm[Em]ing you at best.
And you remember.
Dear, when I say [Am]"my c[Em]om ing
here was like a terrible fall!"
[Am]As we crept [Em]like thie[Am]ves alon[Em]g your bedroom
wall I'd come down and touch your eyelids,
But if you [Am]stay [Em]up too late I'll throw you back into the cupboard with the chipper
and dirty plates like the carnival game with the [Am]bottle neck and rubber [Em]ring.
[Am]Even if [Em]you win, even then you don't win
[G][Am][Em][G][Am][Em][Am][Em]
All I want is to want [G]one[Am][Em][G][Am][Em]
