The Airborne Toxic Event – Wishing Well (Ukulele)

E
Standing on a bus stop

E
Feeling your head pop

A
Out in the night

A
On the kind of night

E
Where you want to be out

E
On the street on the street

A
Crawling up the walls

A
Like a cat in heat

E
And the air is thin

E
And it blows through your skin

A
And you feel like something

A
Is about to begin

E
But you don't know what

E
And you don't know when

A
So you tear at your hair

A
And you scratch at your skin

E
You wanna run away run away

         A
Just get on the fucking train and leave today

               E
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night

               A
You just might end up somewhere in a fight in a fight

   E
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf

A
Fighting all alone with yourself with yourself

        E
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed

   A
In a wishing well a wishing well

B
A wishing well a wishing well

      A
Well you're tossed in the air

A
And you fell and you fell

            B
Through the dark blue waters

B
Where you cast your spell

A
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well

E
So you stand on the corner

        A
This is all that I have

        E
All the way to the bottom

           E
Like those soft little secrets

                        E
That you tell that you tell

E
To yourself when you think

                       A
No one's listening to well

E
And the walls spin

E
And you're paper-thin

         A
From the haze of the smoke

A
And the mescaline

    E
The threat of your brow

E
Under unmade sheets

        A
In your ear with the noise

A
From the darkest streets

       E
We ran far and wide

E
You screamed you cried

    A
You thought suicide was an alibi

             E
But you were always a mess

E
You were always aloof

             A
Yeah it's awful I guess

A
But it's the awful truth

       E
It was truth from the first

                           A
To the last words that she read

        B
And she emerged from the dark

B
Like a ghost in my head

           A
She said I haven't forgot

A
Any words that you said

       B
I just stare at the clocks

B
And I cry in my sleep

      A
And I tear up your letters

A
And I burn them in heaps

      B
And I gather the ashes

         A
Where we fell
