Cold Dead Hand

(1) (E) I like to get real drunk, I puke on my shoes
I like to gamble real bad, and I always lose
I’d like to (A) marry me, another x wife
Cause (E) I just love, hating live
I (B7) love it, I (A) love it, I (E) love it
Oh I don't think you noticed
on my seventh cup of coffee and I'm feeling kinda bloated
I'm on my cigarette break
For the 10th time today and I need another take
I love it, I love it, I love it
refrain:
oh (E) I’ve got vices and (F#m) I’ve got friends
An (G#m) intervention’s brewing I could (E) make amends
They’re (A) trying to help I (F#m) understand
But they’ll (B7) pry these vices from my (A) cold dead (E) hand
(2) Talkin to my doctor says I’m clinically depressed
In denial or something and it’s making me distressed
I slyly smile, that’s what I want you to think
I look her in the eye and give a subtle wink
I love it, I love it, I love it
Starting at my phone all day, I’m wandrin’ down the street
Searching for a place to stop and rest my tired feet
I’m a swiping master, don’t you know?
Gotta catch ‘em all it’s pokemon go!
I love it, I love it, I love it
(3) I’m an open book when I play this guitar
I share my secrets and I show my scars
I sometimes stray a little from the truth
I’m a flawed man, blame it on my youth
I love it, I love it, I love it
Deep down I know, I live my life in excess
I do too much of everything and it’s making me a mess
Maybe i’ll cut back, i’ll give that a whirl
Now what was I saying? Oh look a squirrel!
I love it, I love it, I love it

Fuchsia Undone

I got a full tank of gas and I’m on the road
I got a baggie full of powder to feed my megalo
Sunglasses hide my bloodshot eyes
I got a thirst that drives my own demise
I’m pink and I’m purple I’m Fuschia Undone
I’m gonna die anyway, I may as well have fun
I’m standing on an airplane in a three piece suit
On my back is a parachute
I got thrill issues like no one you know
They open that hatch and out I go
I got lavender lipstick and my nail polish mauve
There’s resounding style in the way I drove
You up the wall and out the door
And you left me marooned crying on the floor
I got a box of condoms in my guitar bag
I got a bottle of viagra so my junk don’t sag
I got that botox smile and I dye my hair
I gotta drawer full of hot pink underwear

Someone Else's Dream
04:09
|
|||
|
(E7) I keep my eyes open in the middle of the night
so (A) I can see things only seen in the (E7) absence of the light
and I (B7) see they are approaching as they creep up to my bed
and they (A) gently tilt my neck and shove those
(E7) dreams inside my head
refrain:
now (F#m) I'm dreamin' someone else’s dreams
And (G#m) I’m hearing someone else’s screams
Those (C#m) screams can’t be me
Those (G#m) dreams can’t be me
Oh (F#m) this is someone (E7) else’s dream
Oh (F#m) this is someone (E7) else’s dream
If I were to choose my dreams the darkness would subside
The demon whisperin’ in my ear would be an angel by my side
But this demon holds a secret my emotions can’t control
And it’s seeping through the window and eating at my soul
Once upon a time I had dreams and hopes galore
I was satisfied with what I had until I wanted more
But my hunger went in search of something else instead
And then one day I realized it’s not me inside my head

(Em) You see colors everywhere when (C) all I see are shades of grey
(G) I’ve / got a song about my heart breaking (C) thirty years ago
And per- (Am) haps it makes you jealous to hear my

And Al (Em) though my heart’s moved on from that the (C) music takes control

(I) (Em) when /
I was young the words would flow

I was / searching for the one who’d
(D) snuffed my voice inside

but (Em) vengeance was denied
refrain: and I (A) prayed
like I (D) never prayed before
this (A) universe is flawed
I can’t (Em) take it any more
and (D) it get’s worse every day
I can’t (A) accept this price we pay
oh (Bm7) I scream words of sheer dismay
till (Em) I’ve got nothing left to say
(II) I asked / God for inspiration
and I (D) sadly tried to sing
he (Bm7) cupped his hands oer his ears
stripped an (Em) angel of her wings
there was / screaming in the distance
and (D) thunder in the sky
I (A) watched her plummet to the earth
with a (Em) teardrop in her eye
I em/barked upon a quest
to a- (D) wake the beast within
she was (Bm7) locked away, fast asleep
in a (Em) distant dungeon
I quickly slayed the guard
and (D) I unlocked the door
but the (A) beast just barely stirred
she was (Em) broken from the war

Maniacal Song

I’m a (A7) maniacal man with (D7) maniacal dreams
I (A7) wake up in the night with (D7) maniacal screams
I (Bm7) get up in the morning I (F#m) feel I haven’t slept
I (Bm7) try to hide the crazy but I’m (F#m) maniacally inept
at (A7) trying to pass for human so I’ll (D7) disappear instead
into a (A7) syncopated rhythm and it’s (D7) rushing through my head
refrain:
and (E7) I can (C#m) sing
words (D7) that don’t mean a (E7) thing
maniacal (C#m) song
(D7) finally I be- (E7) long
You (A7) know I’m just a boy who holds (D7) onto broken dreams
gotta (A7) pocket full of hope that’s (D7) bustin’ at the seams
and a (Bm7) flash of inspiration de- (F#m) scends from the sky
and it (Bm7) fuels that maniacal (F#m) look in my eye
and my (A7) foot starts to tap and my (D7) hands start to clap
I (A7) know I’ve told my story but I’ve (D7) got to recap
I’m (A7) looking for a lover who’s (D7) looking for a friend
I’m (A7) looking for the answer to the (D7) question of the end
I’m (Bm7) looking in the mirror I can (F#m) see into my soul
those (Bm7) maniacal urges I (F#m) simply can’t control
so (A7) I just give in (D7) and I set free
(A7) this maniacal (D7) melody

everytime I long for the human touch

The Gingerbread
02:57

|
verse: g g7 g g7 c c7 c c7 am d7 g g7 c c7
refrain: Em Bm7 Em Bm7 D Am C G
(1)Run run run as fast as you can
you'll never catch me I'm the gingerbread man
I've come from the Baker where the Masters prepare.
I was ordered well done but I'm medium rare
the oven was set to a high degree
but ya just can't bake that beast out of me
so brace yourself to hear me roar
a primal rage worth living for
some call it special some call it wrong
but I mean every word when I sing this song
I confess I made up the rest
The Devils in the details and the details are a mess
(refrain)
conformity bites off my head
it's a sin to break the gingerbread
(2) I have learned to trust folks as far as I can throw
and I accept that life's too short ever to let go
of anything that hope might bring
so I pray for the angels to hear me sing
this last attempt to woo the moon
the eclipse of fate is ending soon
and the beast within will have to hide
with the wealth of dreams that fought and died
the blue fairy plans to destroy
but she'll never make me a real boy

A (C) foreshadow of what's to come

(F) That has yet to be seen
But it’s (C) coming for (Am) you
There's (F) nothing you can (C) do
(refrain)
(Gm) I don’t know what is (F) real anymore
I (Gm) can’t embrace the entropy (Dm) seeping through my core
I (Am) want things back like they were before
I want (C) shadows to be shadows and nothing more
I (F) want that twinkle to return to my eye
I (Gm) want to see the angels flourish in the sky
Gm-F-Am-Dm
(II) (Dm) that’s not a shadow on the wall
There’s (Am) something lurking in the hall
(Dm) Somehow it escapes your stare
(C) Yet you always know it’s there
You (Gm) only see it in your dreams
So it (F) can’t be real, so it seems
But it’s (C) coming for (Am) you
There's (F) nothing you can (C) do
(III) (Dm) That’s not an angel overhead
A (Am) vulture circling for the the dead
That(Dm) tingle within isn’t love
It’s a (C) demon looking down from above
You (Gm) feel it searching deep inside
(F) All this time you chose to hide
But it’s (C) coming for (Am) you
There's (F) nothing you can (C) do

(G) I've got no motivation to get up off this couch
But I've (C) got 1000 reasons just to sit here and (G) slouch

so I’ll (D) summarize now what was it that I was going to say?
well I (Am) don’t care and i wouldn’t have it any other (G) way
(D) You many not approve of my unpleasant mood
But I (Am) like myself better with a (C) crappy atti (G) tude
now I had dreams of this and that once upon a time
but (C) gradually those precious dreams all faded from my (G) mind
but the ghost of those distant dreams haunt me to this day
so I (C) sip upon my whiskey glass until they go away
so (D) finally i’ve purged my mind of any chance of hope
be- (Am) cause i’ve found that self defeat is the only way I (G) cope
I’ve got no inspiration to finish up this song
so I’ll (C) quit while i’m ahead and you can move a- (G) long

And the (A) younger me says what the hell look (E) at the state you’re in
Now you’ve made yourself some money and you’ve got your yuppy friends
A (A) high falutin social life with (E) parties to attend
But (G#m) I can’t believe that you (C#m) wanted it this way
Have (G#m) you sold out to greed or (C#m) does your conscious weigh?
I said (E) hey look at you with your pompous attitude
I (A) don’t remember you there when (E) I was feeling blue
So I think I’ve done alright in this world all alone
I (A) may not have found greatness I’m gen (E) uine to the bone
Now (B7) you can claim I’ve failed to withstand this fateful test of time
And it’s (A) true that I’m mediocre now, but I was mediocre in my (E) prime
Medi (A) ocre in my (E) prime
I ran into a childhood friend he’s still got that mullet hair
I said (A) hey buddy where have you been,
he said (E) I’ve been here and there
I said that’s something I’ve been nowhere and that’s
prolly where I’ll stay
Every (A) place I want to go, I (E) just can’t find my way
(G#m) Ain’t no point in changin’ cause I’m
(C#m) happy where I’m at
Well (G#m) maybe not quite happy, but (C#m) let’s look past the facts
You (E) know how a fine wine, gets better with age,
Well I’m (A) kind of like a twinkee (E) I just stay the same
There ain’t no expiration date on mediocrity
But the (A) day that I expire I will (E) still be true to me
Now I’m still playing hockey even after all these years
I (A) lose the puck in the neutral zone and (E) botch up all my clears
And I miss the empty net just like many goals in life
And those (A) coaches words of discouragement (E) cut me like a knife
Keep your (G#m) stick on the ice keep your (C#m) head in the game
(G#m) Ooops my mistake (C#m) looks like I’m to blame
And I (E) think back to my childhood team when I was fast and spry
I (A) call them my glory days but I (E) know that’s just a lie
‘Cause I’ve been at odds with a hockey puck since my mothers womb
And I’ll (A) trip on the blue line when they (E) lay me in my tomb

(C) Solitude
It’s that (Dm7) peaceful glow
(C) Slipping through my fingers
But I (G) can’t let go
And (F) I blend in with the (Am) bleeding souls
A (C) camouflage to (G) hide the holes
In the (Dm) logic that (Am) brought me here
(C) With the urge to (G) disappear
refrain
My visions (D) fading (Am) gently (C) with the (Em) future (D) that’s been (G) cast
My heart is (D) waning (Dm) crescent (F) ‘neath the (Am) shadow (G) of the (C) past
(C) Persephone
My (Dm7) star crossed fate
An e- (C) ternity
(G) To debate
(F) Which of us has the (Am) rawest deal
(C) Somehow I know (G) how you feel
No (Dm) home for us in (Am) either realm
Just (C) entropy to (G) overwhelm
(C) Closing time
I’ve (Dm7) got to go
(C) I told you my secret
But per- (G) haps you’ll never know
What (F) lies behind these (Am) fragile eyes
If (C) you could see through (G) my disguise
You’d (Dm) have to squint (Am) hard to see
(C) Anything that’s (G) left of me

A Brand New Way To Die

(G) Oh I've been searching for a (C) new way to live
Let (Am) go of the past and (D) learn to forgive
But (G) I realized I have (Em) nothing to give
My (Am) heart holds love like (C) blood in a (G) sieve
refrain:
(G) i discovered something new
(Em) I have got to see this through
(C) a few less heartbeats left in me
as (Bm7) far as I could hope to see
then (D) something special caught my eye
(C7) it’s a (Am7) brand new (C7) way to (G) die
(G) Oh I've been dreaming of (C) a distant land
I (Am) close my eyes and I (D) hold your hand
But the (G) more I dream of a (Em) life so grand
The (Am) more of death I (C) under- (G) stand
(G) Oh My fate loomed for (C) many years
I had (Am) just given up on (D) facing my fears
A (G) vision of gloom (Em) disappears
(Am) I see hope through a (C) wall of (G) tears
(G) Now darkness falls under (C) every sky
You can (Am) spend your life (D) wondrin why
So (G) ask yourself as the (Em) days go by
(Am) Can one smile when it's (C) time to (G) die?
