(G-C(Ring on 5thfret top string, Index on 3rd, 2nd string))
Things make sense to me
when I fall asleep and think about affection
But each morning brings
a host of nonsense scrawled across my carpet
And I hate when I don't understand it!
but I have to go and act like I do,
or they leave!
and I dream about giving affection
but I never wanna get outta bed, anymore!
(G-C-A-C)
sometimes x2
I'm so careless
or I care too much
sometimes
you're so careless
or you care too much
I don't understand this feeling
(beat) and I don't know if I ever will (da-da-da!)
Things made sense when I was sleeping
but I can never tell I'm still asleep, or if it matters,
why do I act like everything matters?
Things make sense to me
when I fall asleep and think about affection
if they never stay, why should I believe in anything
beyond my bed?

3 People

(A-F-G-G, E)
They made a TV Show,
about three people living in a house,
together
and each of them had their own
kind of music, they liked to play
together
several of their instruments
were cracked and out of tune
from years of misuse
but they tried their best to get along,
they tried to play some songs
together?
(F-G-F-G-A)
The wealthy friend played a guitar
and laughed about the poor
he said they were always knocking
at his door (like trick-or-treaters)
wearing funny masks of illness
and holding out their hands for candy
but he reminded them that it was November
and turned on his sprinklers
(A-F-G-G, E)
The Complacent friend played the piano
and sang songs about earning his life
and how his coworkers, made it harder
to get any sleep at the end of the day
and he was always in pain, so he ranted
about his doctors fixing his legs
'cus his casts always got in the way
of the labor he was doing to pay for his casts
(F-G-F-G, A)
The outsider played the computer (yes she did)
she knew how to give up on people
and she walked out on them and they died
one from dependance and the other from stress
too bad she said, they could've been great
like some kind of band
but the way he played the other man
and how the man played her
was draining and it was never worth it
(A-F-G-F)
They made a TV Show
about two people living in a house
together
one man lived while the other
picked up his trash
and ate it to survive

Waiting 4

(G-Em)
I’m waiting for, you to come home
I’m waiting for you to pick up the phone
I’m worried that, I’m here all alone
years and years of a cold dial tone
I'm waiting for, another way out of a
house that's cluttered with confusion and doubt
I fried my brain, while hanging on doors and
I scrambled up, my feet and the floor
(A-C-GEmGEm)
what is the point in making me cry?
where do I go when I have to die?
(A-C-G-A)
when I am alone all day I
tend to fall apart
(Cx2)
without direction
I find myself with nothing
(G-Em)
better to do,
than wait for you
I’m waiting for, a way to kill time
all of my life I’ve been looking for mine
a piece of paper, filled with weird lines
made by me is a very clear sign
Beyond my doubt is a vain of hope
behind that vain is a way to cope (with the)
world outside my lyrics and lies
'cus fuck, I just need a reason to die
(chorus again)
I find myself debating
what mistakes decided my fate
I feel dependent as of late
but being alone, feels the same
it feels exactly the same

Weird Shadows

I'm casting
(E-A)
Weird shadows when you light up my street signs
I stretch out when you shine it on me
I can't see what I'm walking away from
why would you do this to me?
I'm seeing
weird shadows on the wall of my bedroom
could they be coming from me?
Why would I ever stand at the window
unless I was trying to leave?
(E-E3-A-E)
When you took it all away from me
you made me lose myself, just crossing the street
I don't-leave-my-house anymore
because the shadows in me want to see yours freed
to make you lose your way
lose everything you are and what you wanted to say
You shouldn't talk to me
because the shadows in me want to see yours freed
yeah the shadows in me want to make you bleed
(bridge) (G-A)
You make me disappear
you turn off your lights and
think it's alright
but I'm still here
I'm alone with you just
making-sure-you can hear me
You're just a
(E-A)
weird shadow I've been casting since day one
another guilt trip stuck to my feet
I see you on my way to the payphone
I don't know what you want from me
I'm calling
my therapist to deal with the creatures
in the same fucking shape as myself
always watching from the lip of the concrete
could it be the sun is trying to scream?
(Wilhelm Scream)
(E-E3-A-E)
I hear the deaf expect it
but they pop in their aids and it's a quiet surprise
I feel the same way about you
because the shadows in me want to see yours freed
You're such a nightmare for me
Yeah again I'll say I hope you change
'cus you sure changed me
Now I can't go back so I hope you see
yeah I can't go back so change for me.
