Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Bb
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from his hands
F
And when I put my arms around him
Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
Bb
And an eerieness surrounded
When his tongue began to speak
F
And he said, "Oh, boy, you are so pretty,
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string"
Bb
And when I finally kissed him
The whole world began to ring
F
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
Bb
And I knew the world was over
So I took a look outside
F
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vanes and the tops of trees
Bb
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream -
F Bb
They're all waiting here for me
Bb
Deli markets with their flower stands
Their pretty girls and their burning men
F
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue, twice removed from my face
Bb
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in the fountain
F
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take to soothe my mind
Bb
So I'm always sober
Always aching
Always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
F
And wasted gas-station attendants
Attending to their jobs
Bb
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
F
Oh, when this life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
Bb
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
F Bb F Bb
You're too wonderful to die
Bb
And the last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
And all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
F
And it's a lie that you've been given
That just hurts you every day
Bb
So why should I lie here naked
When it's just too far away
F
From anything we could call loving -
Any love worth living for?
Bb
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
F
And when I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
Bb
'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
F Bb
You won't see me anymore
You've Passed (thanks to Liam Fletcher)

[Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone]
B
There are beads that wrap
B
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
F#
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
A B
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead, this time
We ride roller coasters into the ocean
A F#
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
E
And some you leave behind
B
It gets hard to explain
E F# E B E
The gardenhead knows my name
B
Leave me alone
E
For you know this isn't the first time
B
In fact this is twice in a row
E
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
B
And filled up our garden with snow
E
And I don't wish the taste of your insides
B
Or to call out your name through my phone
E
For the glory boys at your bedside
B
Will love you as long as your something to love
E B E
Will love you as long as your something to love
B
Follow me through
E
The city of frost covered angels
B
I swear I have nothing to prove
E
I just want to dance in your tangles
B
To give me some reason to move
E
Or to take on the world at all angles
B
Requires a strength I can use
E
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
E B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
[Three Peaches](thanks to HipsterDoucheba)
G
There is no dream
E G
So wake up run your lips across your fingers till you find
E
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
G
To remind yourself that you didn't die
E C E C E
On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive
G E
And you seem so bruised and it's beautiful
G
As it's reflecting off from you as it shines
E
And you're in the bathroom carving holiday designs into yourself
G
Hoping no one will find you but they found you
And they took you
E C E C E
And you somehow survived
G
There is no dream
E G
So wake up and if the holidays don't hollow out your eyes
E
Then press yourself against whatever you find
G
To be beautiful and trembling with life
Because I'm so happy
E
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
G
I'm so happy
E
That you didn't die
[Naomi]
Ab A E Ab
Your prettiness is seeping through
A E Ab A E Ab A E
Out from the dress I took from you, so pretty
Ab A E Ab
And my emptiness is swollen shut
A E Ab A E
Always a wretch i have become
Ab A B
So empty
B E
Please don't leave me
[E C#m D A]
[E C#m D A E]
C#m D A E
I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
C#m D A E
I'm hoping she will soon explode
C#m D A E
Into one billion tastes and tunes
C#m D A
One billion angels come and
B A
Hold her down
B A
They could hold her down
E C#m D A
Until she cries
[E C#m D A E]
C#m D A E
I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
C#m D A E
It tastes like shit and I must say
C#m D A E
She comes and goes most afternoons
C#m D A B A
One billion lovers wave and love her now
B A E C#m D A
They could love her now and so could I
[E C#m D A E]
C#m D A E
There is no Naomi in view
C#m D A E
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
C#m D A E
And if she only really knew
C#m D A B A
One billion angels could come and save her soul
B A E C#m
They could save her soul until she shines
D A E C#m
Until she shines
D A E C#m
Until she shines

Until she shines

Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
E
And some you leave behind
B
It gets hard to explain
E F# E B E
The gardenhead knows my name
B
Leave me alone
E
For you know this isn't the first time
B
In fact this is twice in a row
E
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
B
And filled up our garden with snow
E
And I don't wish the taste of your insides
B
Or to call out your name through my phone
E
For the glory boys at your bedside
B
Will love you as long as your something to love
E B E
Will love you as long as your something to love
B
Follow me through
E
The city of frost covered angels
B
I swear I have nothing to prove
E
I just want to dance in your tangles
B
To give me some reason to move
E
Or to take on the world at all angles
B
Requires a strength I can use
E
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
E B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

There is no dream
E G
So wake up run your lips across your fingers till you find
E
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
G
To remind yourself that you didn't die
E C E C E
On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive
G E
And you seem so bruised and it's beautiful
G
As it's reflecting off from you as it shines
E
And you're in the bathroom carving holiday designs into yourself
G
Hoping no one will find you but they found you
And they took you
E C E C E
And you somehow survived
G
There is no dream
E G
So wake up and if the holidays don't hollow out your eyes
E
Then press yourself against whatever you find
G
To be beautiful and trembling with life
Because I'm so happy
E
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
G
I'm so happy
E
That you didn't die

I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
C#m D A E
I'm hoping she will soon explode
C#m D A E
Into one billion tastes and tunes
C#m D A
One billion angels come and
B A
Hold her down

They could hold her down
E C#m D A
Until she cries
[E C#m D A E]
C#m D A E
I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
C#m D A E
It tastes like shit and I must say
C#m D A E
She comes and goes most afternoons
C#m D A B A
One billion lovers wave and love her now
B A E C#m D A
They could love her now and so could I
[E C#m D A E]
C#m D A E
There is no Naomi in view
C#m D A E
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
C#m D A E
And if she only really knew
C#m D A B A
One billion angels could come and save her soul
B A E C#m
They could save her soul until she shines

Until she shines

Until she shines

Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep
