Standard Tuning, the strumming is pretty easy... its a fun song, I think/hope I got most of it right


C Em Am
My friends are working on avoiding me
So when we meet I keep my mouth real busy
Talk out my nervous energy
It never works
I throw darts at the wall and get sloppy


C/G Am G
But it's alright now
If I seem surprised, it's just a joke I'm trying out
But if it floats, I guess I'll keep it around


C Em Am
A woman gestures lazily
Through the hoods in my eyes I see her shaking her jewelry
It casts a perfect light on me
I feel moved and that's strange
But lately, I've been acting really strangely

C/G Am G
So it's alright now
I'm keeping distracted to blunt my reactions
And anyhow
You think less when there's less for you to think about

C Em Am
(bass run on A string, 0--2--3)


Dm Em (high) Am (same bass run)
A paralyzed puppet sits stiff in the window

F G C C7
Grinding his teeth and playing piano

F       G                         C   Em   Am
All his songs bleed together in a flatline blur
A broken litany of worthless words
Creating space while your drinks get served

                       G
I know it gets on your nerves
				  C     Em  Am
Just try to pretend like it's not work
A little denial never hurts
