Painted Eyelids Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I wake up and look upon your
[D]painted eyelids
[E]The world is your oyster
And [D]the trashbags are your kids
The [G]ceiling is invisible
There's [D]a bird sinking through the sky
And [E]every hour that passes
It's [D]teachin' me how to cry
Because it's [C]lonely here
In the [G]ugly part of town
The [A]buildings are all vacant
And [D]the telephones are down

[Verse 2]
There's a [G]police siren singing
Like [D]a tiger with no skin
[E]The sewer drain is glowing
And I [D]don't know what state I'm in
And the [G]liver is on fire
There's [D]chemicals and debris
And [E]all the roads are blocked off
It's [D]just too hard to see

[Verse 3]
So [C]cancel my appointments
And [G]set up a whole new show
Because [A]I'm in need of a good hot meal
And [D]a life to call my own

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][E][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Get me a plate of money
[D]Get me a blanket and a chair
The [E]limitations are limitless
[D]They're floating through the air

[Verse 5]
Because it's [C]real and it's true
[G]The things I see in you
And there's [A]nothing I
wouldn't talk about
With [D]the clearest dream that ever drifted by

[Outro 1]
[G]
