Verse 1:

        A                   B
        With pictures and words
        D6          E7
        Is this communicating?
        A                      B
        The sounds that I've heard
        D6            E7
        The growling voice then 
fading
Continues after the ad

        D6          E7
        And yes my heart was beating
        D6         E7
        Or was it just repeating

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 2:

        With nickels and dimes
        You soon will have a dollar
        Am I in your time
        I see no need to swallow
        Or catch a plane to travel
        My mind's not made of gravel

Verse 3:

        Can you find your way
        Or do you want my vision
        It's dark there, they say
        But that's just indecision
        And in my last inspection
        Is this the right direction

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 4:

        I once had a girl
        She told me I was funny
        She said in your world
        You needed lots of money
        And things to kill your 
brother
        But death just starts 
another
