You turn on a spindle
G
You are so much looser now

But you're not explaining how
F#7 B7 E
You gained such new repose
Am D7
I touch the clasp of your locket
G
With its picture held
C
Some secret you wouldn't tell
F# F#7 B7 E
But let it choke your neck
[Verse 2]

So we imagine a darkness

Where all shapes divide

Solids changing into light
F# B7 E
With a burst of heat so bright
Am D G C
Well fine, don't you do what I want you to
Am D G C
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
Am D G
Because you don't depend upon all the shit

That I use to make my moods improve

Am D
Near a sea of pianos
G
There were waves of chords
C
That crashed against the shore
F# B7 E
In one huge and useless roar
Am D7
And there were girls bringing water
G
Like a dream they came
C
To cool the fever of my brain
F# E B7 E
And soothe my burning throat
[Verse 4]
Am D
And they made me a necklace
G
Hanging beads of sweat
C
On a string of my regrets
F# B7 E
And placed it around my neck
Am D G C
And they were singing: "Don't you do what you've wanted to
Am D
Yeah, don't destroy yourself
G C
Like those cowards do
Am D
And maybe the sun keeps coming up
G C
Because it has gotten used to you
Am C D G
And your constant need for proof
