William Burroughs Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
At [D]school
he [A]always [D]had to hide
His feelings [A]buried [D]dee[A]p in [G]sid[A]e
A [D]poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William

[Interlude 1]
Burroughs
[D][G][A][D][A][D][A][D][G]
[D]He talked

[Verse 2]
but [A]never [D]moved his lips
[A]Made lov[D]e but never used his[A] hips
[D]His skin unused fell to decay
From fleshy pink [A]to [D]ashen grey

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]It's enough to crack a smile
It's enough to make [A]you [G]blind[A][D]
It's enough to make you
Live your life backwards
It's enough to drive you out of your mind
And he became a figurehead
A 3- D sign that might be [A]dead
And [D]no one knew his state of mind
He fell into the great [G]di [D]vide

[Interlude 3]
[D]

[Verse 4]
It's enough to crack [D]a smile

[Interlude 4]
It's enough to leave you blind

[B][F#][C#][F#][C#][B][F#][C#]
[F#][B][C#][F#][D]

[Verse 5]
At [D]school he always had to hide
His feelings buried deep inside
A poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
William Burroughs william Burroughs
William Burroughs burroughs
Burroughs [D]burroughs

[Outro 1]
[D]
