Mr.
Quinn, Mr.
Quinn, we really do need you in-
Listen, I know more about you, right, than you will ever know about me.
You think I give a crumpet what [Cm] you write in your lousy paper?
Now, I don't need to look to someone else, man, to tell me I'm good.
Slaughter me for all I care.
I refuse to be hurt.
Mr.
Quinn, we really do need you in the club.
Hey, man.
You refuse feeling deeply about anything,
but it's clear to anyone how entirely self-conscious you are in everything you do.
That's enough feeling deeply.
That's what this is about?
Well, what precisely, please do tell, am I supposed to be [Fm] feeling, huh?
I'm [Cm] simply referring to standard emotions.
Pain, remorse, [Cm] love.
Yeah, I have none of those feelings.

You walk into the room [B]
with your pencil in your hand.
[Eb] You see somebody naked.
[F] You say, who is that man?
[Ab] You try so [Fm] hard, but you don't understand.
[Eb] Just what you will [G] say when you [Cm] get home.
[Eb] But there's something [Gm] happening here, [Cm] and you don't know what it is.
[Ab] Do you, [Bb] [Cm] Mr.
Jones?
So you're handing your ticket,
[B] and you go watch the geek
[Bb] who immediately walks up to [E] you [F] when he hears you speak.
And he [Ab] says, well, how does it feel, my [Fm] friend, to be such a freak?
[Ab] You say, impossible, [Gm] as he [Cm] hands you a book.
[Eb] And you're positive that something's happening [Cm] here,
but you don't know what it is.
Do [Ab] you, [Cm] Mr.
Jones?
You have so many contacts [Eb] out there among the [Ab] lumberjacks
to get you the facts when someone attacks [Cm] your imagination.
No one has any [Eb] respect.
Anyway, they always expect [Ab] you to just give a check.
To [Fm] tax-deductible charity [Bb] organizations.
[Cm] You've been with the professor.
[B] They all like your look.
[Bb] With great lawyers you have [E] discussed lepers and crooks.
[Ab]
You've been through all [Fm] of F.
Scott Fitzgerald's books.
[Eb] You're very [Gm] well read.
Yeah, it's well [Cm] known.
[Eb] Because something [Gm] is still happening here.
[Cm] You don't know what it is.
Do [Ab] you, [Cm] Mr.
Jones?
[Fm] [Cm] Well, the sword swallower, [B] [G] he comes up to you and then he kneels.
[Eb] He crosses himself, [Am] and then he clicks his high heels.
[Ab] Without further notice, [Fm] he tells you how it feels.
And he [Eb] says, here's your [Gm] mouth back.
Thanks [Cm] for the love.
Stop.
Stop the song.
[Eb] And you know.
