Am                     Dm
Some say April is the cruelest,

And though I can be quite morose

[Verse]

 A
When your head starts craning back

B7
And your breath comes short and fast

Dm
The music of the spheres start to bounce and sing

Am (Mute) That's when you know you're swinging

A
When your eyes roll back into your head

B7
And the sap of the trees on your fingers have bled

Dm
Swooning to the charms of Mephisto's waltz

Am (Mute) That's when you know you've got some schmaltz [Instrumental] A B7 Dm Am (Mute) [Verse] (Aggressively)

            Dm
When you've got the evil eye and unconsciously growl

      Am
Your hands start shaking and you crouch and prowl

       Bm7
These terryifing symptoms are a sure-fire sign

Am N.C. That you're pimpin baby and your feeling fine

A
When you make love to whomever you please

B7
And a bullet to the head feels like a soft warm breeze

Dm7
Red suit green suit they're all there scheming

Am  N.C.                      Bm7
That's when you know you're dreaming

[Outro]

Bm7                   Dm7
Yes you're dreaming, you are dreaming

  F#7    B        E
I hope you are dreaming
