C
C Asus2 Am
It's quite a gamble to speak outta place
C Asus2 Am
Those things could kill you, but so could yr face
(this is so you can play the riff w/ the chords semi-comfy [optional])

C Asus2 Am
What occupies me pays a low rent
C Asus2 Am
Because fondness makes the heart grow absent
G F C/E
These things I say may seem to be cruel
G F C/E /C /B
to show you something from my heart to you:
Am G* D7/F# Fmaj7
lookin' at you reminds me of looking at the sun
Am/C Am/G
and how the blind are so damn
lucky

C Asus2 Am
Those holes on yr face could be used better ways
C Asus2 Am
breathing's a distraction when you chatter away
G F C/E
these things I say may seem to be lies
G F C/E
to seem risque or sensationalize
C Asus2 Am
but too many people can remember yr name
C Asus2 Am
always walking you down Memory Lame
G F C/E
these things I say may seem to offend
G F C/E /C /B
but not half as much as I'd like to intend
Am G* D7/F# Fmaj7
'Cause listenin' to you reminds me of a motor's endless drone
Am/C Am/G Fmaj7 (same as before)
and how the deaf are so damn lucky
C Asus2 Am
I could be happy if life came to a stall
C Asus2 Am
then I wouldn't need my senses at all
G F C/E
These things I say may seem out of line
G F C/E /C /B
but day to day I'm right every time
Am G* D7/F# Fmaj7 Am/C Am/G
'cause lookin' at you reminds me of looking at the sun
Fmaj7 (again with the hammer-ons on the same frets just different rhythm)
too long
and then:
|--0-0-0-0--|
|--0h1-1-1--|
|--0-0-0-0--| once again, follow album for timing
|--2-2-2-2--|
|--3-3-3-3--|

(w/ hammer-ons)
Fmaj7
You'll find that in no time
C
you'll be talkin' to yrself along w/ everybody else
Fmaj7
then you'll despise the look in their eyes
C
it may be difficult to tell when yr looking at yrself
Fmaj7 C
Fmaj7
And you look fine if you don't mind
C
the empty look that on yr face, a black hole that's outta place
Fmaj7
And out of time in a tight bind
C
you'll find something smart to say when a silence come yr way
(this part is hard to decipher, just play ugly chords, I guess)
(this is what I do:)
