Chords

This is how its played on the album. F# F# G# D#m C# F# [Verse 1]
F#
Oh look at me

     G#
That sweet boy's plea

    D#m
His mother cried

    C#               F#
"My child's tied his laces"

    F#
Why must we move on

     G#
From such happy lawns

        D#m
Into nostalgia's palm

    C#          F#
And feed on the traces
[Verse 2]
       F#
Do you hop to the dance

     G#
Or embarrass the parents

           D#m
Who should I please?

        C#    F#
I go to sleep worrying

     F#
That blood in the dark

       G#
Will attract the sharks

            D#m
Who are not violent

   C#              F#
We all have hungry bellies
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                  F#
But where are the still unborn

          D#m     C#           F#
Who could look at me with their brown eyes

          D#m     C#           F#
Who could look at me with their blue eyes

        D#      C#         F#
And you look at me with me in their eye
[Chorus]
    F#
And whats pain

     G#            D#
And whats sadness anyway?

     C#            F#
Its not crying like a child

    F#
And whats graying?

    G#          D#m
And whats aging anyway

    C#             F#
Its not growing in the wild
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                  F#
But I feel like I've just been born

         D#m     C#           F#
When you look at me with your green eyes

         D#m     C#           F#
When you look at me with your black eyes

        D#      C#          F#
And you look at me with your dead eyes
[Verse 3]
          F#
And I can understand

     G#
When holding her hand

   D#m
So womanly

  C#             F#
I have to go and kiss her

    F#
And what a surprise

   G#
To look in those eyes

         D#m
And find suddenly

   C#          F#
He is Jack the Ripper
Dm# C# F#. Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper [Outro]
D#m     C#            F#
   Stop crying like a child

D#m            C#            F#
   She stopped crying like a child

D#m    C#        F#
        Jack the Ripper
