Burn After Reading

INTRO: (w/ lead): E


VERSE: (w/ lead)
E                                 
Here's to you, the same chords 
    C#m          B
that I stole from a song that I once
 heard
E                 C#m            
The Same melody I borrowed from 
       B
the void. I'd rather observe
E                     C#m       
than structure a narrative, the 
B
characters are thin
E                   C#m      B
the plot does not develop it ends 
where it begins

E      C#m   B    x2

E                                 
It's on the screen, in paperbacks,
    C#m           B
 in section 8 and cul-de-sacs
E                                 
Electro haikus and drunk sonnets 
   C#m        B      A
are moving me along. Along


INTERLUDE: (w/ lead):   E      A    
  x2


CHORUS:
E                         C#m
You cut my hair, you left red ink 
everywhere

B                  A            
Do my hands tell a story? Is it 
B
boring?
E                         C#m
You cut my hair, you left red ink 
everywhere
B                  A            
Do my hands tell a story? Is it 
B
boring?


VERSE: (w/ lead)
E                                 
What I'd give to force your sigh, 
         C#m     B
what I'd give to see you cry
         E                         
What I'd give for your caress to 
       C#m               B
see your blue cotton dress balled up
 on the floor
E                        C#m     
Certain memories are the problem 
        B
certain drunken lines are the shame
E             C#m                
Seven hundred miles and four 
          B                A
years I can't fight the flame; it 
burns


CHORUS:
E                         C#m
You cut my hair, you left red ink 
everywhere
B                  A            
Do my hands tell a story? Is it 
B
boring?
E                         C#m
You cut my hair, you left red ink 
everywhere
B                  A            
Do my hands tell a story? Is it 
B
boring?


OUTRO: (w/ lead)
E
Was I wishing on satellites?
Tell me how you've been doing that 
trick
I'm just wishing the flame away
Now I'm wishing the flame away
