Chords

[Intro] B F# E [Verse 1]
    B
I'm up at six

                                E
I get a slice of bread, I cut a hole in it

                            B
I crack a little egg into a frying pan

                                E
and I try to get my mind turned off

     B
I'm naked now

                                            E
Because it doesn't really matter when the shades are down
I was born this way I'll die this way
  B                                             E
I don't know how I'm ever gonna tell myself the truth
[Chorus]
C#m
I live alone

                           B     A
A house without a heart is not a home

                                      F#
I think I may destroy these things I own

                                     B   A
I'm going back way back to black and red
Inside my haunted head [Instrumental] E B A [Verse 2]
          E
I get the prayer shawl on

                                   A
I wrap myself in something that is way beyond

                                     E
anything my mind could get its dirty fingers on

                                     A
I'm going through the motions like a champ

             E
I take these aimless drives from two A.M. to four

             A
I live these secret lives

                                E
Identities that all die off not one survives

                                 A
By morning there's nobody at the wheel
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm out on Lake Street now

                                          E  D
I'm coming to a red light but there's no one around

                                    B
The law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down

                                       E   D
It's talking in a language long since dead
Inside my haunted head [Instrumental] A E D [Verse 3]
           A
I'm having too much fun

                                 D
My arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum
I'm kneeling at the throne
             A
I'm stricken deaf and dumb

                                     D
I'm learning what it means to really pray

             A
Tried to get cute with pain
I thought I could avoid it
          D
Thought I knew that game

                                         A
But just when you get the hang of it the rules all change

                                            D
and you're doing time for crimes that don't exist
[Chorus]
              Bm
So I sit and wait

                           A       G
til I can finally see the sense it makes

                                       E
I know this sick world's bound to be explained

                                  A    G
So I'm hanging on if only by a thread
Inside my haunted head
D G
(Haunted, ha-ha-haunted head)
