Faust Midas And Myself

• Bm

(intro 2x) Bm A G  

Bm  A                  Em 
   This one’s about a dream 

I had last night 
Bm         A                  Em 
   How an old man tracked me home 

And stepped inside 
   Bm       A               Em 
He put his foot inside the door 
                     G 
And gave a crooked smile 
                 F#m 
Something in his eyes 
                  G 
Something in his laugh 
                  F# 
Something in his voice 

That made my skin crawl off 

Bm               A                 Em 
   He said, “I’ve seen you here before 

I know your name 
Bm         A         Em 
You could have your pick 

of pretty things 
Bm         A      Em 
You could have it all 
                G 
Everything at once 
                   F#m 
Everything you’ve seen, 
                    G 
Everything you’ll need, 
                        F# 
Everything you’ve ever had in fantasies” 

Bm                A 
“You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead 
Bm                A 
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead” 

Bm   A               Em 
  I woke up from my dream 

As a golden man 
Bm        A               Em 
  With a girl I’ve never seen 

With golden skin 
Bm      A            Em 
  I jumped up to my feet 
                        G 
She asked me what was wrong 
             F#m 
I began to scream 
                      G 
I don’t think this is me 
                 F# 
Is this just a dream or really happening? 

Bm                A 
“You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead 
Bm                A 
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead” 

G 
 What direction? 
A 
 What direction? 
Bm 
  I’m splitting up! I’m splitting up! 
D 
 This is my personal disaffection 
G                        A 
 What direction? What direction? 

What direction now? 

Bm   A                  Em 
  I looked outside the glass 

At golden shores 
Bm A               Em 
  Golden ships and masts 

With golden cords 
Bm   A             Em 
  As my reflection passed 
                G 
I hated what I saw 
                    F#m 
My golden eyes were dead 
                                 G 
And a thought passed through my head 
                         F# 
A heart that is made of gold can’t really beat at all 

G 
 I wanted to wake up again 
                       F#m 
 I wanted to wake up again 
                     F 
 Without a touch of gold 
G                    A 
 Without a touch of gold 

                A 
 What direction? 
Bm               D 
  What direction? 
G               A 
 What direction? What direction? 
Bm 
  What direction? (Death or action!) 
D 
 Life begins at the intersection 
G               A 
 What direction? What direction? 

 What direction now? 

Bm   A           Em 
  I woke up as before 

But the gold was gone 
Bm    A               Em 
  My wife was at the door 

With her night robe on 
Bm    A                  Em 
  My heart beat once or twice 
                     G 
And life flooded my veins 
                  F#m 
Everything had changed 
                          G 
My lungs had found their voice 
                    F# 
And what was once routine was now the perfect joy 

Bm                A 
“You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead 
Bm                A 
 You’ve one life,  You’ve one life 
G 
 You’ve one life left to lead”
