AE Holt Boulevard BmD Between Gary and White AE Hooked up with some friends at the Travelodge DE Set ourselves up for the night AE Carpenter ants in the dresser BmD Flies in the screen AE It will be too late by the time we learn DE What these cryptic symbols mean AD And I dreamt of a house AD Haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out AD And the headstones climbed up the hills AD And the headstones climbed up the hills
AE Send somebody out for soda BmD Comb through the carpet for clues AE Reflective tape on our sweatpants DE Big holes in our shoes AE Every couple minutes BmD Someone says he can't stand it anymore AE Laugh lines on our faces DE Scale maps of the ocean floor AD And I dreamt of a camera AD Pointing out from inside the television AD And the aperture yawning and blinking AD And the headstones climbed up the hills
C#mDA If anybody comes to see me C#mDA Tell them they just missed me by a minute C#mDA If anybody comes into our room while we're asleep AEDE I hope they incinerate everybody in it AD And I dreamt of a factory AD Where they manufactured what I needed AD Using shiny new machines AD And the headstones climbed up the hills
