[N] [Bbm] [Cm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] He wants to die in a lake [Bbm] in Geneva, the mountains can cover the shape of his nose
He wants to die where nobody can see him, but the beauty of his death will [Fm] carry on so
I don't [Bb] believe him
[Eb] [Cm]
He greets me [Bbm] with kisses when good days deceive him
And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes [Cm] I believe him
[Bbm] And sometimes I'm convinced my friends think I'm crazy
Get scared and call him but he's [Cm] usually hazy
But [Bbm] one in the morning, the day is not ended, by two [Cm] he is scared
That sleep is [Ebm] no friend and by [Bbm] four he will drink
But he cannot [Bb]
feel it, [Cm] sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
And [Bbm] I don't believe
[F] Morning [Bb] is mocking me
[F] [Bb] I'll wander the streets, avoiding them each, till the ring [Bbm] on my finger
[Ab] Slips to the ground, a gift [Bbm] to the gutter, a gift to the city
The veins of which have [Cm] broken me down and [Bbm] I don't believe
[F]
Morning is [Bbm] mocking me
[F]
Oh [Bbm] the gods [Fm] that he [Bbm] believes
Never fail to amaze me
He believes in the love of his God of all things
But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins
The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him
[Ab] I can't control you, I don't know [Eb] you well
[Gb] These are the reasons I think [Eb] that you're [Ab] ill
I can't control you, I [Eb] don't know you well
[Gb] These are the reasons I think [F] that you're ill
And [Bb] since last that we parted, last that I saw him
Down [Bbm] by a river, silent and hardened
Morning was mocking us, [Fm] blood hit the sky
[Bb] I was just happy, my man [Fm] again and I
[Bbm] He couldn't see me, the [Fm] sun was in his eyes
And [Ab] birds were [Eb] singing to calm [Gb] us down
[F]
And [Eb] birds were singing to calm [F] us down
But I'm [Bbm] sorry young man, I cannot be [Fm] your friend
[Bbm] I don't believe in a [Fm] fairy tale and I [Bbm] don't keep my head up all of the [Fm] time
[Bbm] I find it dull when my heart [Fm] meets my mind
And [Bbm] I hardly know you, I think I [Eb] can tell
[Gb] These are the reasons I [F] think that we're ill
[Ab] I hardly [Eb] know you, I think I can tell
[Gb] These are the reasons I [F] think that I'm ill
[Bbm] And the gods that [Fm] he [Bbm] believes
[Fm] [Bbm] Never fail to [Fm]
disappoint [Bbm] me
[Fm] [Bbm] The gods that [Fm]
he [Bbm] believes
[Fm]
Never [Bbm] fail to [Fm] disappoint [Bbm] me
[Fm]
[Bbm] My Nihilist, my happy man and [Fm] I
[Db]
[Gb] We move on
[Ab] But [Eb] birds are singing to calm us down
[F]
And [Eb] birds are singing to [Cm] calm us down
[F]
