Last night you said [Bm] I was cold, [A]
untouchable A [F#m] lonely piece of action [G] from another town
I just want [Bm] to be free, happy [A] to be lonely Can't [F#m] you stay away, just leave [G] me alone
With my thoughts, just [Bm] a runaway, [A] just a runaway [F#m] I'm saving myself
[G]
[A] [G] Strung out, the lower [D] necklace of [G] carnival lights Cold blue,
[D] held on the crest [F#m] of the night
I'm too tired to fight, so now [G] we're passing strangers At single tables, still trying to get over
Still trying [D] to write love songs [F#m] for passing strangers
All those passing strangers, [D] and [G] their twinkle light
[E] All those [G] twinkle lights, sparkle with the [F#m] way things come up in the car

[A] Oh I [Em] remember Toronto when Milo went down We [A] sat and we cried on the phone
I never felt [Em] so alone, he was the first [A] of our own
[Em]
Some of us go down in a place of obscurity [A] Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
[Em] The price of empathy, the edge of [A] insanity [Em] Another holiday and another temporary home
And [A] an interviewer threatened me with a [Em] microphone Talk to me, won't you tell me [A] your story
So
[Em]
[A]
[Em]
[A]
[Em] I talked about conscience and I talked about pain And [A] he looked out the window and it started to rain
I [Em] thought maybe I've already [A] gone crazy
So [Em] I reached for the bottle and he reached for the doll And [A] I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor
[Em] Inviting you to [A] casual obscenity

How did I [F#m]
[F#]
get here?
How did I get here?
Wasting, I've never been so wasted
Far off before [F#m] I would
[F#] walk as a process
Here, I feel you to be nature, you to be mystical.
[F#m]
[F#]
Childhood.
Childhood.
[F#m] Childhood.

Childhood.
Give it back.
Give it back.
Childhood!
That childhood!

Oh, please! That [A] childhood!

I [A] saw a wallmaker with a hot breath,
washing the memories [G] from her husband's clothes.
[A] She had medals pinned to a thread in a great coat,
[G] a lump in her throat with cemetery eyes.
[D] I see convoys coming, calling,
and West German arms [C] trying to take on the war.
They're gonna even [D] the score.
Oh, [C] I can't take anymore.
[A] I see black flags in factories,
two-pliers, poison [G] the lips of the poor.
I [A] see children with vacant stares,
gassed and forayed [G] in the alleyways.
Does anybody care?
I [D] can't take anymore.
Should [C] we say goodbye?
[D]
Hey!
[C]
[A] I see police partitions,
like heroes in black [G] plastic body bags,
under nation's flags.
[A] I see children bleeding with outstretched hands,
[G] threats that make harm.
This is no Vietnam.
[D] I can't take anymore.
[C] Should we say goodbye?
[D] How can we justify?
[C] They call us civilized?
