You turn on a spindle

You gained such new   re - pose

            Am            D9/F#
I touch the clasp of your locket

With its picture held

       C
Some secret you wouldn't tell

    F#7    B7sus B7   E
But let it choke your neck
[Verse 3]
       Am       D9/F#
So we imagine a darkness

Where all shapes divide

Solids changing into light

With a burst of heat  so bright

Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do

Am                   D7            G         C
Because you don't depend upon all the shit I use

To make my moods im - prove

same old talk," said Margot

[Verse 4]
       Am       D9/F#
Near a sea of pianos

           G
There were waves of chords

     C
That crashed against the shore

       F#7      B7sus  B7   E
In one huge and use -  less roar
[Verse 5]
               Am             D9/F#
And there were girls bringing water

       G
Like a dream they came

            C
To cool the fever of my brain

    F#7       B7sus  B7  E
And soothe my burn - ing throat
[Verse 6]
         Am        D9/F#
And they made me a necklace

        G
Hanging beads of sweat

     C
On a string of my regrets

    F#7        B7sus B7 E
And placed it around my neck
[Chorus]
                      Am        D7              Gadd11 C
And they were singing: "Don't you do what you've wanted to

Am              D7
  Yeah, don't destroy yourself

              G     C
Like those cowards do

Am                       D7
  And maybe the sun keeps coming up

                     G       C
Because it has gotten used to you

         Am    C     D7 (no3) D7  G
And your con - stant need     for proof
G
