Song name: Out of Tune

capo 3

 

G9 C9 Em7+9  Dsus 4

 

I feel like a planet that hasn't got a moon

please orbit me and light night skies with everything you do

but I won't give up gravity or tides or anything for you

so tonight's just loneliness and emptiness as I'm slowly going out of tune

 

 

(C Gm barre instead of C D11)

           C               D11(c slid up)

like a supernova that can't explode, I suck you into my black hole

                                                                                              C                                           

and rip you up and send you back in time to places that have been haunted you

D(regular)           G9 -> normal riff

and hurt you all your life

 

G                              D                      Em

and I'm a north-going zax on a trail to the south

                     C                            D

I'm the cat in the hat caught killing a mouse

                                  Em                  G        C

I'm a star-bellied sneetch with an iron-on tattoo of a star

                        D            C                        riff

right now I'd be anyone who has any clue who they are

 

i feel like the pilot who's lost the nerve to fly

I still look up every day and dream of ruling the sky

like a case of writer's block or dried up superglue

because tonight I'm slowly but surely going out of tune

 

 

(supernova)

like a deep sea diver who won't take a bath

for fear of slipping through the bathtub cracks

like a doctor who smokes 3 packs a day

like kids in school who tell you being smart should make you ashamed

 

 

G      C        Em        D

I'm swimming in an ocean of 1000 yous

tonight I am slowly going out of tune

so many words just make me confused

tonight I am slowly going out of tune

painting myself blue to hide the bruise

tonight I am slowly going out of tune
