His trick is [C] you and me, _ _ boy
[Am] _ _ [C#m] _ Time, _ [E] _ includes [Dm] and red wine
_ _ [C] Demanding [E] Philly [F] dolls
_ And other [D] friends of mine
_ Take your time
[C] _
The _ sniper [G] in [Am] the brain
_ _ [C] _ _ Regurgitating [F] _ drain
_ [D] _ _ Incestuous [G] and vain
The many who are [C] the last nails
_ [Em] _ [Am] All along the wall, just as [G] _ [Am] 925
And I [F] think the God [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ [C] Your [E] reasons [F] catch your cold
Cause you left your code [D] _
behind
Take your _ [C] time
_ _ Breaking _ [G] up [Am] is _ hard
[C] But keeping dark [F] is hateful
[F#m] I had so [G] many dreams
I had so many [C] _
_ breakthroughs
But you, [G] my love, [Am] were kind
[C] But love has left [F] you _ dreamless
[F#m] The thought of dreams [G] was closed
Your path was [C] real and dreamless
Perhaps [G] you're [Am] smiling now
_ Smiling through this [F]
darkness
_ [F#] But all I have to [G]
give
_ Is guilt for [C] dreaming
_ _ We _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] should be home [F] by now
