Em
Listen to the sounds of ringing out around you 
Bm
These are the cries of the dying beat 
Em
Politics of hate you'd never get around to 
Bm
Blood over brains that we never need 
Em
I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed 
Bm
Fixed in the post like a silent stone 
Em
Serenity in tact, it's the feeling that I lack 
Bm
Life in the floors of a stable home 

G                               D
I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell 
            G                     D
You're what breath to a runner in contest 
   G                           F#           Bm
In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away
              G          A
And I have to give it up someday 

D                     A                  G
Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
F#m             Em 
Pretending in a love like this 
D         A                        Em
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
      G        A 
Don't cover my footsteps

Bm                                      G 
Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me 
Bm                                      G
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader 
D                      A                                Em
You're dead weight all right, that's fine, but get your hands off me 
                          G
You have to touch me with kid gloves 
                          Bm
You have to touch me with kid gloves 

Em      Bm
Em      Bm

By me to the wind, you talk me out of standstill 
I never felt so alive at once 
Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still 
Pressed to the drain of the common months 

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f*** 
Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless boy 
Cheer me up, cheer me, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself 
You sound of vanity whore 

Beause it's race and it's power at the center of life 
We abide to the people who need us 
But you're the kind of person who could understand that fault 
And I hope to measure you someday 

Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me 
Pretending in a love like this 
I have no choice but to put you in back of me 
Don't cover my footsteps 
Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me 
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader 
Dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me 
You have to touch me with kid gloves 
You have to touch me with kid gloves

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f***

Cheer me up, cheer me, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself 
You sound of vanity whore

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f***

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless boy
         Bm
When you compromise yourself like that 
     A
It's dead occassion
           Bm 
So even on friendship (?)
 
D                                       G

Dead weight all right, that's fine, but get your hands off me
                          D 
You have to touch me with kid gloves
                          Bm   Bm  Bm
You have to touch me with      kid gloves
