FM7
Cast myself towards infinity - Trust me, I had my reasons
G
Had a dress for every season, it was worth it
FM7
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle - I
G
Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself
FM7
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park
G
Find your way, discover that things are dark
FM7
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical bullshit
G
I wave bye to them in a modern way
C* Am*
and increase my stay at the dock of the bay
C* Am*

(same as first)
Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming
Approach with stealth
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth
With not a writer in the lot
Sapphires vie for your attention
She dances they mean well in their way
The Priest says "Please, I can't stand my knees
And I can't bear her raven tresses caught up in the breeze like that!"
C* Am* C* Am*
FM7 G FM7 G

(same as first)
Thats it doctor, do your worst
Cut me open, remove this thirst
Hidden, but near
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here
I won't repeat them here
C* Am* C* Am*
FM7 G
Typical me, typical me
FM7 G
I gave my cargo to the sea
FM7
I gave the water what it always wanted to
C Am C

FM7
"Look to the West!
G FM7 G
Ah, look, it's no contest" - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse
FM7 G
I wanted you. I wanted your blues
FM7 G C* Am*
- Yo-ur Blues

FM7 G
"All good things must come to an end
FM7 G
The bad ones just go on forever"
FM7
Isn't that what I just said?
G
It is Now and it is Never
FM7
It is Now and it is Never
G
It is Now and it is Never
C
It is Now and it is Never
Am C
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah AhAh
Am
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhh Ah Ah

FM7 G
Don't worry about her, she's been known to appreciate
FM7 G FM7 G
the elegance of an empty room - Look I made you this broom

A predicate warning to the sun - this Night advances

FM7
The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright
G
An alternately dim and frightful waste
FM7
Now come on honey let's go outside
G
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know
FM7 G FM7 G
- I didn't want to go - but leave I must...
FM7
As gratifying as this dust was
C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
F G
Please don't wake me from this - my golden slumber -
F
I am proud to be a part of this number!
C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
Am! Am$ C! C7!
