Standard tuning (capo 2nd fret)


Intro:  G - D - C  (x4)


          G                             D           C
Well, you know i don't like you but you wanna be my friend
          (C)           D                   C                G
There are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings
     (G)                      D           C
It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand
         (C)           D            C               G
When you dream of Michelangelo they hang above your hands


      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again


      G                 D             C
And i can't see why you wanna talk to me
          (C)       D          C               G
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
        (G)                               D            C
I want a white bread life, just something ignorant and plain
             (C)           D           C          G
But from the walls of Michelangelo i'm dangling again


      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D               G
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again


C                    D
Saturn on a line...a sun afire strings and wires to 
C                              G
spin above my head and make it right
    C                         D                               
But any time you like you can catch a sight of angel eyes
    C             D
all emptiness and infinite


      G                              D           C
And i dream of Michelangelo when i'm lying in my bed
      (C)          D              C          G
I see God upon the ceiling, i see angels overhead
       (G)                  D               C
And it seems so close as he reaches out his hand
           (C)            D               C           G
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand


      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C                 D
And i know cause there she goes walking, walking, walking
      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D               G
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again


      C              G
On my mind...oh Lord no...
          C             D                G
Yes she's walking on my skin again and again
