Thoughtcrime

Bb C Dm7 Dm7 2x Bb C Dm7 Somebody like yourself, true and kind would never understand this aching heart of mine Bb C Dm7 Cursing other people yes is what I do best, and so I write songs to pass the time Bb C Dm7 I’ve always dreamed of being on TV, to hear the audience lovingly praise me Bb C Dm7 For now I guess I’ll make this knife sharp as can be Dm7 Am Hear the crash of glass being pounded at Bb C The tearing noise of a sheet of paper torn to shreds Dm7 Am And the setting sun after “goodbye” is said Bb is just so lovely… C Even that much is plain to see! Bb C Am Dm7 The birds cry out their song in the sunset Bb C F A7 Dm7 This empty ache I feel starts to sing a swan song too Bb C Am And yet you linger still in the shadows Dm7 Bb C Dm7 Standing on your toes, sky a flaming red hue Bb C Slipping off my tongue, was my goodbye to you Bb C Dm7 2x Bb C Dm7 I wanted to be seen, I want to love, are these the “dreams” that people talk about? Bb C Dm7 Just another beggar begging for it to be, I’m lazy. Hurry and satisfy me! Bb C Dm7 Somebody like yourself, wouldn’t get this ugly jealousy that simmers in my chest Bb C Dm7 Always looking for an opportunity to hit and to strike them back Pre Chorus 2 Dm7 Am Hear the crash of glass bottles striking lamps Bb C The blaring noise a guitar makes as it’s being slammed Dm7 Am These regrets with no way to make amends Bb Though it’s lovely Just the thought, see, C That even that much is plain to see...! Bb C Am Dm7 The words, relentless, beat down upon me Bb C F A7 Dm7 December slowly creeps into my September heart Bb C Am And in the spring, the mist in the mountains Dm7 Bb C Dm7 Rises in the sky, summer follows behind Bb C Carressing both my cheeks, as the breeze passes by Bb C Dm7 2x Bb C Dm7 Somebody like yourself, true and kind would never understand this aching heart of mine Bb C Dm7 I’m no good at living but I don’t wanna die, and so I write songs to pass the time Bb C Dm7 I feel it everyday, the words, the hate, the sheer disgust of everybody as they look my way Bb C Dm7 It’s why I only write songs that hurt other people now Bb C Dm7 And songs without a soul like the one that you’re hearing now Bb C Dm7 I wanna drink your words down completely Bb C F Am Dm7 I use my hands to hold them, nowhere to put them in Bb C Dm7 One day my drought will no doubt diminish Bb C Dm7 But until it does, waiting here until then Bb C Am Dm7 The birds cry out their song in the sunset Bb C F A7 Dm7 I beg this empty ache, to turn itself into a tune Bb C Am And say goodbye to you in this sunset Dm7 Bb C Dm7 Waiting for the night to come drown me in blue Bb C Slipping off my tongue, is my goodbye to you Bb C Dm7 2x
