"You are my sunshine,

I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
She had eyes bright enough to burn me
They reminded me of yours

In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
And there were rows of ripe tomatoes
Where a secret was concealed
And it rose like thunder

Now and again it seems worse than it is
FA DO SOLBut mostly the view is accurate.
You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs
FA DO SOLto that coffin you call your apartment.
LAm MI
And you sink in your chair
DO SOLBrush the snow from your hair
And drink the cold away
You are not really sure
DO FAWhat you're doing this for
DO SOL FABut you need something to fill up the days
A few more hours
There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away
FA DO SOLIt's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
FA DO SOL LAmAnd I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
As a kid with my mom and my brothers
And then the bridge disappears
DO SOLAnd I'm standing on air
DO SOL FAWith nothing holding me
LAm MI
And I hang like a star
Fucking glow in the dark
DO SOL FAFor all those starving eyes to see
LAm MILike the ones we've wished on
DO SOL
But now I'm confused
Is this death really you?
DO SOL LAmAnd do these dreams have any meaning?
DO SOL
No, no, I think it is more like a ghost
LAm FAThat's been following us both
Something vague that we're not seein

You follow the footsteps
Echoes leading down a hall
FA# LATo a room, there's music playing
MI LATiny bells with moving parts
FA# LA
Here the shadows make things ugly
An effect quite undesirable
FA# LAThe bold and yellow daylight
MI LAGrows like ivy across the wall
RE MI LA
And bounces off of the painted porcelain
Tiny dancing doll
RE MI LAHer body spins as she pirouettes again
RE MI FA# LA MI LAThe world suddenly seems small
FA# LA
On an off-white subtle morning
You stretch your legs in the front seat
FA# LAThe road has made a vacuum
MI LAWhere our voices used to be
And you lay your head onto my shoulder
MI LAPour like water over me
RE MI LA
So if I just exist for the next ten minutes of this
RE MI LADrive that would be fine
And all the trees that line this curb would be
RE MI FA# LA MI LARejoicing and alive

Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes

Because you finally understand the movement of a

The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
SOL#And they will sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
MI DO#mThat kind of gold washes off
DO#m
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows
They long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
MI DO#mSo that the pure can shut their doors
DO#m
And the angry are animals, senseless and savage
SOL#They act without order in logical lapses
They stain their mouths with blood
So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight
FA#m DO#mOh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall to hide
FA#m DO#mThe wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line
Then the stalks begin to sway
DO# SI LA SOL#Oh, stay with me, Arienette
DO#mUntil the wolves are away
YUP
Well the wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons
SOL#They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims
MI DO#mTo collapse and call to them

And the desperate are water, they'll run down forever
As they soak into silence and end up together
MI DO#mIn a dark and distant, dark and distant place
FA#m DO#m
So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me
FA#m DO#mThis house, it holds nothing but the memories
And the moon, it leaves silver but never sleep

Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother

No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
REm SOL DO LAmOr these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
DO SOL DOThe sky that has been avoiding me
DO SOL
I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
REm SOLIt will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
LAm SOLShe will recite the prayer of my pen
DO SOL
Saying, time take us forward, relief from this longing
REm SOLThey can land that plane on my heart. I don't care
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
LAm SOLIn the freezing darkness of my room
REm SOL DO LAm
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
REm SOL DO LAmAll these pills that I take trying to balance my brain
Seen the curious girl with that look on her face

Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
LAThe plans were never finalized
SOLBut left to hang like yarn and twine
Dangling before my eyes
As you tear and tear your hair from roots
LAFrom that same head that you have twice removed
SOLNow a lock of hair you said would prove
Our love would never die
And I sing and sing of awful things
LAThe pleasure that my sadness brings
SOLAnd my fingers press onto the strings
Yet another clumsy chord
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
LAThis weight will now be satisfied
SOLI'm gonna give you only one reply
I know not who I am
But I talk in the mirror
LATo the stranger that appears
SOLOur conversations are circles
Always one sided
LANothing is clear

Except we keep coming back
LATo this meaning that I lack
He says the choices were given
SOLNow you must live them
LAOr just not live
SIm
But do you want that?

At the center of the world there's a statue of a girl
She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
SIm LAmI went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
DO RE SOLThis clumsy form that I despise, it scattered easy in her hand
SIm LAm
It came to rest upon a beach with a million others there
We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out so that we could disappear
SIm LAmInto the endlessness of blue into the horror of the truth
DO RE MImSee, we are far less than we knew, yeah, we are far less than we knew

But we knew what we could taste
Girls found honey to drench our hands
SIThe men cut marble to mark our graves

Said we'll need something to remind us of
SIAll the sweetness that has passed through us
The priests dressed children for a choir
SIBut found no joy in what was sung
SI DO RE RE SOLThe funeral had begun
SOL SIm LAm
In the middle of the day when you drive home to your place
From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
SIm LAmLong after night has come to claim any light that still remains

MI FA#mBut I will not weep for those
..dying days
MIFor all the ones who've left there
..are a few that stayed
MI LAAnd they found me here and pulled
MI RE..me from the grass
Where I was laid

FA DO SOL
Now and again it seems worse than
..it is
FA DO SOLBut mostly the view is accurate.
FA DO SOLYou see your breath in the air as
..you climb up the stairs
FA DO SOLto that coffin you call your
..apartment.
And you sink in your chair
DO SOLBrush the snow from your hair
DO SOL FAAnd drink the cold away
LAm MI
You are not really sure
What you're doing this for
DO SOLBut you need something to fill up
FA..the days
A few more hours
There is a dream in my brain that
SOL LAm..just won't go away
FAIt's been stuck there since it
..came a few nights ago
FA DOAnd I'm standing on a bridge in
SOL LAm..the town where I lived
As a kid with my mom and my
..brothers
LAm MI
And then the bridge disappears
And I'm standing on air
DO SOL FAWith nothing holding me
LAm MI
And I hang like a star
DO SOLFucking glow in the dark
For all those starving eyes to see
LAm MILike the ones we've wished on
DO SOL
But now I'm confused
LAm FAIs this death really you?
And do these dreams have any
..meaning?
DO
No, no, I think it is more like a
..ghost
LAm FAThat's been following us both
DO SOLSomething vague that we're not
..seein
FA DO RESomething more like a feeling

SONG - The Movement Of A Hand
Tablature by Matt - 03/19/01
FA# LA MI FA#
FA# LA
You follow the footsteps
Echoes leading down a hall
FA# LATo a room, there's music playing
MI LATiny bells with moving parts
FA# LA
Here the shadows make things ugly
An effect quite undesirable
FA# LAThe bold and yellow daylight
MI LAGrows like ivy across the wall
RE MI LA
And bounces off of the painted
..porcelain
RE MI LATiny dancing doll
Her body spins as she pirouettes
..again
The world suddenly seems small
MI LA
FA# LA
On an off-white subtle morning
MIYou stretch your legs in the front
..seat
FA# LAThe road has made a vacuum
MI LAWhere our voices used to be
And you lay your head onto my
..shoulder
Pour like water over me
So if I just exist for the next
..ten minutes of this
Drive that would be fine
RE MI LAAnd all the trees that line this
..curb would be
RE MI FA# LA MI LARejoicing and alive
RE MI LA
Soon all the joy that pours from
..everything makes
RE MI LAFountains of your eyes
RE MI LABecause you finally understand the
..movement of a
RE MI FA# LA MI LAHand waving you goodbye

DO#m
The fragile keep secrets gathered
..in pockets
SOL#And they will sell them for
..nothing, a cheap watch or locket
MI DO#mThat kind of gold washes off
DO#m
And the sad act like lepers, they
..stick to the shadows
SOL#They long to ring bells of warning
..to tell of their coming
MISo that the pure can shut their
..doors
And the angry are animals,
..senseless and savage
They act without order in logical
..lapses
They stain their mouths with blood
DO#m
FA#m
So take my hand, this barren land
DO#m..is alive tonight
Oh, the corn has grown stalks that
DO#m..form a wall to hide
FA#mThe wind carries sounds that I
..can't see from beyond that line
SI LA SOL#Then the stalks begin to sway
DO# SI LA SOL#Oh, stay with me, Arienette
Until the wolves are away
LA SOL# DO#m LA SOL#YUP
DO#m
Well the wicked are vultures, they
..bake in the canyons
SOL#They circle in sunlight and wait
..for their victims
MI DO#mTo collapse and call to them
DO#m
And the desperate are water,
..they'll run down forever
SOL#As they soak into silence and end
..up together
MIIn a dark and distant, dark and
DO#m..distant place
FA#m
So don't leave me here with only
..mirrors watching me
FA#mThis house, it holds nothing but
DO#m..the memories
And the moon, it leaves silver but
DO#m..never sleep
SI LA SOL#And then the silver turns to gray
So stay with me, Arienette
DO#mUntil the wolves are away

DO SOL
Tomorrow when I wake up I'm
..finding my brother
REm SOLAnd making him take me back down
..to the water
DO SOLThat lake where we sailed and we
..laughed with our father
LAm LAmI will not desert him, I will not
..desert him
No matter how I may wish for a
DO LAm..coffin so clean
REm SOLOr these trees to undress all
..their leaves onto me
REm SOLI put my face in the dirt and then
DO LAm..finally I see
The sky that has been avoiding me
I started this letter, I'm gonna
..send it to Ruba
It will be blessed by her eyes on
SOL..the gulf coast of Florida
DOWith her feet in the sand and one
..hand on her swimsuit
LAm SOLShe will recite the prayer of my
..pen
Saying, time take us forward,
..relief from this longing
They can land that plane on my
..heart. I don't care
Just give me November, the warmth
..of a whisper
In the freezing darkness of my
..room
REm SOL
But no matter what I would do in
..an attempt to replace
REm SOLAll these pills that I take trying
DO LAm..to balance my brain
Seen the curious girl with that
DO LAm..look on her face
DOSo surprised she stares out from
..her display case
The phone slips from a loose grip
FA#m REmaj7Words were missed, then some
LA SIm..apology
FA#m REmaj7
I didn't want to tell you this
No, it's just some guy she's been
FA#m..hanging out with
REmaj7I don't know, the past couple
..weeks, I guess
Thank you and hang up the phone
LA SImLet the funeral start, hear the
..casket close
FA#m REmaj7Let's pin split-black ribbon to
LA SIm..your overcoat
FA#m REmaj7
The laughter pours from under
..doors in this house
SImI don't understand that sound no
FA#m..more
Seems artificial like a TV set
Well Haligh Haligh Haligh Haligh
LAThis weight, it must be satisfied
SOLYou offer only one reply
You know not what you do
SImBut you tear and tear your hair
..from roots
LAFrom that same head you have twice
..removed
SOLNow a lock of hair you said would
..prove
LAOur love would never die, well
..hahaha
FA#m REmaj7
I remember everything
LA SImThe words we spoke on freezing
..South Street
FA#m REmaj7And all those mornings watching
..you get ready for school
You combed your hair inside that
..mirror
The one you painted blue and glued
..with jewelry tears
Something about those bright
LA..colors would always make you
SIm..feel better
FA#m REmaj7
But now we speak with ruined
..tongues
LA SImAnd the words we say aren't meant
..for anyone
FA#m REmaj7It's just a mumbled sentence to a
..passing acquaintance but there
..was once you
FA#m REmaj7
You said you hate my suffering
And you understood and you'd take
..care of me
You'd would always be there, well
LA SIm..where are you now?
SIm
Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
LAThe plans were never finalized
But left to hang like yarn and
..twine
Dangling before my eyes
As you tear and tear your hair
..from roots
From that same head that you have
..twice removed
Now a lock of hair you said would
..prove
Our love would never die
And I sing and sing of awful
..things
The pleasure that my sadness
..brings
And my fingers press onto the
..strings
Yet another clumsy chord
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
LAThis weight will now be satisfied
SOLI'm gonna give you only one reply
I know not who I am
But I talk in the mirror
LATo the stranger that appears
SOLOur conversations are circles
Always one sided
LANothing is clear
SIm
Except we keep coming back
LATo this meaning that I lack
He says the choices were given
SOLNow you must live them
LAOr just not live
SIm
But do you want that?

At the center of the world there's
LAm..a statue of a girl
DOShe is standing near a well with a
..bucket bare and dry
SImI went and looked her in the eyes
LAm..and she turned me into sand
This clumsy form that I despise,
RE SOL..it scattered easy in her hand
SIm
It came to rest upon a beach with
LAm..a million others there
We sat and waited for the sea to
RE..stretch out so that we could
SOL..disappear
Into the endlessness of blue into
LAm..the horror of the truth
DOSee, we are far less than we knew,
..yeah, we are far less than we
..knew
MIm DO
But we knew what we could taste
Girls found honey to drench our
..hands
The men cut marble to mark our
..graves
SI SOL
Said we'll need something to
..remind us of
SIAll the sweetness that has passed
..through us
The priests dressed children for a
..choir
SIBut found no joy in what was sung
SI DO RE RE SOLThe funeral had begun
SOL SIm
In the middle of the day when you
..drive home to your place
DOFrom that job that makes you sleep
RE..back to the thoughts that keep
..you awake
SImLong after night has come to claim
LAm..any light that still remains
In the corner of the frame that
RE SOL..you put around her face
SIm
Two pills just weren't enough
LAmThe alarm clock's going off but
..you're not waking up

..happening happening happening

What you have been trying to

But everybody knows

As she stretches out on your bed

A scribble or a sonnet

The master and his servant

Have exactly the same fate

RE FA#m
Did you expect it all to stop at
SOL LA..the wave of your hand?
Like the sun is just gonna drop if
SOL LA..it's night you demand?
RE FA#mWell, in the dark we are just air
..so the house might dissolve
RE FA#mOnce we're gone, who's gonna care
SOL LA..if we were ever here at all?
SOL
Well, summer's gonna come, it's
..gonna cloud our eyes again
No need to focus when there's
SOL LA..nothing that's worth seeing
RE FA#m
So we trade liquor for blood in an
..attempt to tip the scales
RE FA#mI think you lost what you loved in
SOL LA..that mess of details
They seemed so important at the
SOL..time but now you can't even
..recall
FA#mAny of the names, faces, or lines,
SOL LA..it's more the feeling of it all
SOL
Well, winter's gonna end, it's

MI - 022100
Start with fingerpicking E
MI
There is a middle-aged woman,
..she's dragging her feet
SOL#mShe carries baskets of clothes to
FA#m..a laundromat
While the Mexican children kick
FA#m..rocks into the street
SOL#mAnd they laugh in a language I
..don't understand
LA MIBut I love them... why do I love
..them?
So the neighborhood's dimming, I
FA#m..smoke on the porch
SOL#mWatch the people as they pass
..enclosed inside their cars
MIAnd on their faces just anger or
FA#m..disappointment
I start wishing there was
FA#m..something I could offer them
LAA consolation... what could I
..offer them?
And they are sad in their suburbs,
FA#m..robots water the lawn
SOL#mAnd everything they touch gets
..dusted spotless
MIAnd so they start to believe
FA#m..they've not touched anything at
..all
SOL#mAnd the cars in the driveway only
..multiply
They are lost in their houses,
FA#m..I've heard them sing in the
..shower
SOL#mMaking speeches to their sister on
FA#m..the telephone
Saying you come home, you come
FA#m..here, don't stay so far away
..from me
SOL#mThis weather has me wanting love
FA#m..more tangible
Something I can hold... it's
MI..getting cold
FA#m MI SI
I say hold up our fists to a flame
LA..in the sky
To block out the light that's
SI LA..reaching for our eyes
MI'Cause it... 'cause it would blind
..us, yeah it will blind us
Well I've locked my actions in the
FA#m..grooves of routine
SOL#m FA#mSo I may never be free of this
..apathy
MI FA#mBut I wait for a letter that's
..coming to me
SOL#mShe sends me pictures of the ocean
..in an envelope
So there still is hope, yes, I can
..be healed
There is someone looking for what
..I've concealed
In my secret drawer, in my pockets
..deep
You will find the reasons that I
..can't sleep
And you will still want me... but
MI..will you still want me?
LA MIWill you still want me?
FA#m MI
Well, I say come for the week, you
..can sleep in my bed
FA#m MIAnd pass through my life like a
SI LA..dream through my head
It will... it will be easy, I'll
MI..make it easy
MI
But all I have for the moment is a
FA#m..song to pass the time
A melody to keep me from worrying
MISome simple progression to keep my
FA#m..fingers busy
And words that are sure to come
FA#m..back to me
LAAnd they'll be laughing... and
..they'll be laughing
