*from 'Gold Against the Soul' (1993)*
Verse 1:
G Am7
I write this alone on my bed,
C G
I've poisoned every room in the house.
G Am7
The place is quiet and so a-lone,
C
Pretend theres something,
G
Worth waiting for.
G Am7
Theres nothing nice in my head,
C G
The adult world took it all away.
G Am7
I wake up with same spit in my mouth,
Bb (G)
I cannot tell if it's real or not.
Chorus 1:
G C
I try and,
Cm G
Walk in a straight line.
G C Cm
An imi-tation,
G
Of digni-ty.
G C, Cm
From despair,
G
To where?
G C, Cm
From despair,
(G)
To where?
Interlude:
G Am7, C G (x2)
Verse 2:
G Am7
Out-side open mouthed crowds,
C G
Pass each other as if they're drugged.
G Am7
Down pale corridors of rou-tine,
C G
Where life falls una-toned.

Just cheap tarnished glit-ter.
