[D]
[Em] [A]
[D] [Gm]
[A] [D]
[A] And so [D] the story goes, they wore the clothes, they said the things to make it [E] seem improbable.
[A]
The will of a lie like the [D] hope it was.
[Em] [A] [D]
And the good men tomorrow had their feet in the wallow and [Em] their heads are brown with nice [A] ashorn.
And how they bought their positions [D] with saccharine and trust.
And [Em] the world was asleep [A] to our latent
[D]
firsts.
[Em] Sighing we swirled through the [A] streets like the crust of the sun.
The [Bm] beautiful brothers in [A] our wings went by.
[G] Flashing dreams were bright, [F#] standing tall in the dark.
[A]
Hanging out with [G] your 12 men, we were so [Em] turned on.
Like [C] a caboogeeeer.
[D]
[Em] [A]
[D] I was stolen, he was waxed so he could scream and still relax.
[Em] Unbelievable.
[A] And we frightened the [D] small children away.
[Em] [D] [A]
And our [D] talk was old and dust [G] would flow through our [F#m] veins and oh it was [Em] midnight back at the kitchen door.
Like the [A] grim face on the [D] cathedral floor.
[Em] The solid book we wrote could [A] not be found [D] today.
[Em] And it was stalking time for the [D] [A] moonboys, the Beaulieu [Bm] brothers.
With [A] our backs on the arch.
And if [G] the devil make me air,
Then he [F#] can't jingle my basket.
Oh, [A] and we were gone.
[G] Real cold, frayed up.
We were [Bm] so [Em] turned on.
You [G] thought we were [C] vacant.
[D]
[Em] [A]
And [D] now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned, the factor maxed.
That proved the [Em] factors melted down.
Woven [A] on the edging of [D] my pillow.
[Em]
[D] And my brother lays upon the rocks, he could be [A] dead, he could be [Em] not, he could be you.
[A] He's [B] chameleon, comedian, [D] Corinthian and caricature.
[Em] Shooting up [A] high in the sky, [D] Beaulieu brothers.
[Em] And the people in the bed, [A]
[Bm] Beaulieu brothers.
[A] In the blizzard and cold, [G] in the clutch-hungry dark,
Is [F#] where we played our mark.
[A] We were gone.
Kings of [G] oblivion.
We were [Bm] so [Em] turned on.
In the night, [D] warm [C] oblivion.
[B]
Lay me [C] place and make me lie, [F] I'm starving, for [B] me cry.
They leave my [F#m] shoes [C] and door unlocked, [F] I might just slip [Bm] away.
I just [F] for the die.
I, please [Bm] come alive.
I, just [F] for the die.
I, please [Bm] come alive.
I just [F]
for [Bm] the die.
Please [F] come alive.
Please [Bm] come alive.
Please [F] come alive.
Please [Bm] come alive.
[F]
[Bm]
[F]
you
