This is the bonus track from the album Mean Everything to Nothing. "Jimmy, He Whispers" is the only title I've seen it go by so I'm assuming that it's right. Em
Em         D/F#         G
God knows you're on my mind

         Am     C        Em
I can't try to tell him otherwise

Em        D/F#       G
God knows it's only time

          Am        C       Em
Before i break the chain in my eyes

Em              D/F#      G
Fear keeps you hiding at night

          Am       C         Em
and the creatures play ball outside

Em          D/F#         G
Chances are slim we are right

         Am      C           Em
But i'd never think it any otherwise

Em                 D/F#       G
So we'll find the answers in time

         Am     C       Em
and the bodies pile up sky high

Em                D/F#             G
and ill sail this ship towards the sky

         Am       C          Em
but ill end all alone on the other side

Em                         D/F#                G
and if you could pull that rope just a little higher

           Am     C           Em
we would dangle alone like a firefly

Em            D/F#                G
so Jimmy i've heard the voice of God

         Am       C       Em
and he whispered fear is logical

        Am        C       Em
and he said it's magic, wonderful

        Am        C        Em
and he swears to him it's wonderful

         Am       C          Em
and the lake you speak of is magical

      Am         C      Em
so i skip stones on it, practical

       Am        C         Em
and i make sure we're both wonderful

          Am          C        Em
you're a brother and that's alright (x3)

        Am        C        Em
we're brothers it makes it right

         Am          C      Em
cuz his blood is so red in spite

        Am           C           Em
of the way that our sharp teeth bite

       Am            C           Em
oh the way that our sharp teeth bite

         Am      C        Em
in each other during the night

          Am             C       Em
with the creatures that play outside

           Am             C       Em
we're the creatures that play outside

Em             D/F#               G
cuz jimmy i've heard the voice of God

        Am        C       Em
and he whispered fear is logical

        Am             C             Em
and the words that we heard aren't repeatable

        Am                C          Em
with a thought that could kill comprehendable

           Am           C        Em
and we're brothers and that's alright [x3]

             Am         C      Em
yeah, we're brothers until we die
