Verse 1:

	A                   B
	With pictures and words
	D6          E7
	Is this communicating?
	A                      B
	The sounds that I've heard
	D6            E7
	The growling voice then fading
	D6          E7
	And yes my heart was beating
	D6         E7
	Or was it just repeating

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 2:

	With nickels and dimes
	You soon will have a dollar
	Am I in your time
	I see no need to swallow
	Or catch a plane to travel
	My mind's not made of gravel

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 3:

	Can you find your way
	Or do you want my vision
	It's dark there, they say
	But that's just indecision
	And in my last inspection
	Is this the right direction

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 4:

	I once had a girl
	She told me I was funny
	She said in your world
	You needed lots of money
	And things to kill your brother
	But death just starts another

[repeat instrumental break 1]

[repeat intro riff; slow down at end; sleigh bells to fade]
