Suffern

Something is wrong with me
Can we test all the organs?
To find out the folly
With this human body

But I don't know what's going on
What's happening to this brain
And this bag of broken bones

Feel the roots of this nerve
Wrapped around my stomach
My eyes are seeing stars
More than several lightyears away

Among the shade of my eyes
Lies a permanent fever dream
Lies to my face on this side
Of the intelligent monument

Trains rumble through the night
Their passengers' fervors gleam
I can hear them through the blinds
All their dissonant temperaments

Forgive, Forget

It's all the same colors
Standing in a hue with a view
A rustic Polaroid
Thrown to the sky, why don't you come down

She's showing off her sweater,
Her undercover pleasure
It's been so long since she's been upset

Her friends are all her family
Don't turn around completely
Live and love and laugh and
Forgive and forget

Her soul is made of leather
Complexion is no better
Has she finally earned her independence?

Hyper extended family
Check them on the big screen
Live and love and laugh
Forgive and forget

She's a tenant of my heart
It's sad to say, she's here to stay
Never close, always apart
A falling out would make my day

Entwined

Looking for an air-conditioned adventure
This hemisphere, well are you so sure?
You just met me this winter
Drove twenty nine miles to see her
At a Dairy Queen
Off the egg-beaten path
Don't neglect reading past
Filters and signs
A fitting ensign
Defined in flight by
the look in your eye
Entwined

Hey Sue

E

Hey Sue

I love you

       F#   G#  A

You are not all put together

      B

But I want to be your missing piece

Hey Sue

I want you

Some argue birds of a feather

And I can't find words to disagree

Hey Sue

I need you

Your deep beauty sleep's better

I can feel it in your razor teeth

E

Hey Sue

I love you

        F#  G#  A

You are still not put together

      B

But I want to be your missing piece

                         A

Though it's not peace on earth

             E

It can't get any worst

               F#

Just new literature

                   A

On how you keep me sure

E

Oh Sue

Generally

Capo 6

G                  C                          G
Girl you're a sight that's worth seein'

G                         C                      G
Your brown eyes caught me day dreamin'

     C                         G
So even though you hang around

 C                       G
I'm still looking at the ground

C                G                           D
Wondering if our shoes could match

        C         Em
And generally

          Am        C
I'd prefer apathy

            C                        D             G
But for you I might just take you away

        C         Em
And maybe we'll see

          Am        C
If you'd ever ask me

            C                        D             G
But for you I might just take you away

This town is a place that's worth leavin'
No matter what you believe in

There's no use hanging around
Let's pack up and hit the ground
Wondering if you and I would last

Overdose

Capo 2

C                      G7
Were you even qualified

         C                         G7
Born in the summer of '95?

           F           
Fell in love with me

            Am                     G
and the Empire State of Mind

I'm two years now past my prime
Took you two years to realize
The strings I had
Never really kept you alive

     C                   Am7
So lend me your overdose

           C             Am7
In the form of a burgundy rose

        F                          G                            C
And we'll pretend that I'll be alright in the end

And I'll let you come back to me
Unless you choose better company
And we'll pretend that I'll be alright in the end

It was only a matter of time
Before this daydream left my life
Whispers of a laugh
Linger back in my mind

Over and Out

I'm two years past my prime,
and you have two years until you realize
That whatever strings I have
Are no longer keeping you together

It was only a matter of time
Before this daydream left my life
With only whispers of a laugh
Teasing me now for good measure

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be

It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over

We never had our signature kiss
Dancing in the rain, something I can't miss
Etch another date in that monolith
Standing in soft soil, yet so weathered

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be

It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over

Over and out, over and out
I told my smile to cut it out
Were you looking for a way out?
I told my smile to cut it out

Over and...

Why can't you see?
This is you and me
Why can't you see?
No matter where I'll be
It won't be over, it won't be over
It's not over, it's not over
