Things Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Well here's [D]the evidence
of human existence
[G]Displaying men magnets,
in two damn boxes
And I cannot find the name
for them
They hardly [D]show that [G]I have lived

[Verse 2]
[D]And the dust,
it settles on these thing[G]s
Displays my age again
Like a [D]new skin made from old skin
[G]That had barely been lifted
[D]I didn't need these

[Verse 3]
things
I didn't need them, oh
[G]Pointless artifacts
A mediocre past
So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh
Down to the bone and burned [D]the rest
I didn't need these things
I didn't need them, oh
[G]Took them all to bits,
turned 'em outside in
And I left them on the floor and [D]ran for dear
[G]life through the door, [D]oh

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[D]

[Verse 4]
Useless objects, a gathered [D]a storm of shit
[G]Put them in a silent shed,
threw out your life's supplies
When all you need's a coffin
and your Sunday best
To smarten up the end

[Verse 5]
An[D]d at the front gate,
what a reward await[G]s
One pint of love from the
holy ghost
An eternity of suffering in the
company of all those Christian men
[D]I didn't need these things I

[Verse 6]
[D]
didn't need them, oh
[G]Pointless artifacts
Of a mediocre past
So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh
Down to the bone and burned the rest
[D]I didn't need these things
I didn't need them, oh
[G]Took them all to bits,
turned 'em outside in
And I left them on the floor and ran for
dear life through [D]the door, oh

[Verse 7]
Never need these things
I'll never need them, [G]oh
This is you [D]and [G]me,
[D]you're [G]my [D]hu man heat
And the [G]things are only things
And the nothing brings
me like you bring me oh
[D]Never need these things
I'll never need them, oh
[G]Never going[D] back,
[G]so we [D]can drop the past
And we'll [G]leave it on the floor and run for dear life through the door,
[D]oh[G]
