intro: (acoustic scratching noises preparing the listener for a definitive rocker)
    G                 C
the city has sex with itself i suppose

       D                           G      (G/F#)
as the concrete collides, well the scenery grows

        G                        C
and the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed

       D                             (G)
having exposed their wounds for each other

               G                        C
and there is a boy in a basement with a four track

                  D                           G
machine he?s been strumming and screaming all night,

 (G/F#)        G                        C
down there.the tape hiss will cover the words that he

                             D
sings but then they say it?s better to bury your

             C                        G
sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the

          A              C                    D
spring to awake from its sleep and burst into green

         G                   Em
and i?ve cried and you would think i would better for

                        D
it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in your

C                          G             G
spine for the rest of your life and i?ve learned and

      Em
you?d think i?d be something more now, but it just

        D                       C
goes to show it is not what you know its what you were

G
thinking at the time.   (then)
****the prog-latin part****: A5 A5 A5 C B#5 F repeat same repetition of verse/chorus music for last verse: this feeling?s familiar, i?ve been here before in a kitchen this quiet i waited for a sign or just somethingthat might reassure me of anything close to meaning or motion (with a reason to move)i need something i want to be close to and i scream, but i still don?t know why i do it because the sound never stays it just swells and decays so what is the point? why try to fight what is now so certain? the truth is all that i am is a passing event that will be forgotten.
