then

E   B   x4

 E    B       E      B
Shut out, pimpled and angry
    E     B            A     
I quietly tied all my guts into 
     B
knots
E     B      E         B
Gave up on trying to make them
   E             B             A 
I Figured it'd take them too long
           B
 to look up

C#m                  G#          
And besides, it was undeniably 
A                        E
clear to me, I don't know why
            A             E       
When every other part of life 
     D            A
seemed locked behind shutters
    B
I knew the worthless dregs we've 
always been

E       B               E  
Lucked out, found my favourite 
      B
record
E         B            A         B
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
E     B            E    
The songs that I heard, the 
       B        E
occasional book
          B    A      B        G#
Were the only fun I ever took

       A            B      E
And I got on with making myself


(Instrumental, listen for timing to 
change from E to A, easy to see when
 Mercer plays it live)
E                  A    B
E                  A    B


G#       A        B      
Now the trick is just making 
             C
yourself
C                                 
But when they're parking their 
             G
cars on your chest
G                            
You've still got a view of the 
           C
summer sky
C                             
To make it hurt twice when your 
    G                           C
restless body caves to it's whim
C                            
And suddenly struggles to take 
     B
flight

E                B          E
Three thousand miles north-east
    B           E              B 
I left all my friends at the 
     A         B             E
morning bus stop shaking their heads
E              B             E  
"What kind of life you dream of?
         B          E
 You're allergic to love"
       B          A           B  
Yes I know but I must say in my 
     C#m
own defense
           G#           A         
It's been undeniably dear to me, I
            E
 don't know why
            A             E       
When every other part of life 
    D              A
seemed locked behind shutters
   B
I knew the worthless dregs we are

The selfless, loving saints we are
The melting, sliding dice we've 
         E
always been
