Intro - B
B                                   E
Sickly surrender to cola remember machines
F#                                      B
Shaky somnambulist shiver out all your screams
E                                               B
Go to the room with the chair and wait for your life
C#                                         B
Scared that the voices i hear may never be mine


Verse
B                                    E
Seven december a paper back letter recalls
F#                                              B
You knew such happiness crashing her loveliness one wedded fall
E                                                    B
Cutting through gray where you're holding the pages amazed
C#                                       B
Cutting the picture to ribbons in winter parades

        B          A
Now the more i get connected
    A/Ab              E
The less i know who i am
       F#                      B (fade)
And it feels like i'm the only one


Verse 2 (same as first)
The month has gone rabbits the winter is taking my life
Am i a passenger passing through scenes in someone else's life
Cold will outlast me apartments are castles in space
Warm with the void holding court in a four poster grave

Chorus (same as first)
Pale new dawn put something on
I hate the shape of things to come
Now the more we get connected
The less i know who you are
I don't think you thought that far

   She's digging towards nothing a hollowed out center in time

Chorus (same as first, but stop B instead of letting it ring)
Pale new dawn put someone on
I hate the shape of all you want
Now the more you get connected
The less i get who you are
But i don't want to think that hard
