A riff1 riff1 riff2 riff1

A                     riff1  
I'm so sick of people asking me
       riff1                riff2
Have I seen this guy that I look like
          riff1
When they mean that he looks like me
C#m
Aw, damn it all to hell
   G                       E7
No I wouldn?t know him too well
         A              riff1                      riff2
Except I broke into his home, and then I broke his collarbone
                    riff1            riff1
His curtains hadn?t been opened in a week or two
           riff2                               riff1
And no one pictured that the little __ freaker has a few
C#m                                G             E7
Looks like it?s about to fall over, sure yeah it could just be the frame
A                  riff1                     riff1               
Or it could be the fact that nothing in this house is ever on the level
B                    D
Not even the toilet, both of you
A        riff1                    riff2
It?s all askew, it'll be wrong forever

D9                                D9b5
I dreamt up we're tumbling down a hill
   Am9                     /G#   A6sus2
The people standing around swear they never seen blows fall like this
G#m7             G                                 D6/F#
Wherever he lands stay away it?s going to be bloody
         Dm6/F
Oh no, I miss you so

A                riff1                                 riff1
Church bells now I?m awake and I guess it must be some kind of holiday
                     riff2                              riff1
Go tell them that he better behave, it?s pretty hard to rise from the grave
C#m                             G                            E7
I?m just a ghost from the past, yeah, but you shouldn't have laughed
A                         riff1                              riff2
Because I'll give you the shaft or maybe sign you up for the draft
               riff1                                    riff1
I look down, I ripped my shirt and there?s blood stains on my fists
                              riff2                     riff1
And the air in here is like a nylon net, I can throw my fists right through it
C#m                            G                   E7
Man, did anybody ever tell you that you?re kind of like
A                          riff1                         riff1
A moth trying to catch the attention of a bare light bulb
B                                       D               
All recorded history is just one little guy on this pen
A                        riff1                        riff1
Oh, my head feels like a TV store, twenty of the same channels


D9                          D9b5
Let?s step outside for some fresh air
        Am9                                  /G#
To some part of the city that you never seen yet
A6sus2 
Even though you lived here all your life
G#m7                     G                        
Now you?re not even sure who you've met or what you like
    D6/F#         
You wait until morning, let's hold it now
       Dm6/F
And if that?s the case you'll spend the night anyhow

D9                   D9b5
Shiva opens her arms now
     Am9                      /G# A6sus2
Some kid's trying to park his car
     G#m7 
I may talk in my sleep tonight
G                        D6/F#                        
'cause I like company too

Yeah, I know we're through
Dm6/F
Although I miss you so
