C C             G G              Am Am                  G G                D D
The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Half-light, Jack knife into the canyon at night
C C. G G. Am Am. G G. D D
Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all


Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found
Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
In a veil of great surprises, I wonder did you love me at all?


C C G G Am Am G G D D
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all


Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know
Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?

C C G G D D
Should I tear my eyes out now?
G G Am Am G G. D D
Everything I see returns to you somehow.
C C G G D D
Should I tear my heart out now?
G G Am Am G G D D
Everything I feel returns to you somehow.
G G D D
I want to save you from your sorrow


C C G G Am Am G G D D
The only reason why I continue at all
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
C C G G Am Am G G D D
Blind faith, god's grace, nothing else left to impart


Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found
Em Em Bm Bm C C. D D
In a veil of great surprises, hold to my head til I drown


Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
Should I tear my eyes now? Before I see too much
Em Em Bm Bm C C D D
Should I tear my arms out now? I wanna feel your touch

C C G G D D
Should I tear my eyes out now?
G G Am Am G G D D
Everything I see returns to you somehow
C C G G D D
Should I tear my heart out now?
G G Am Am G G D D
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
