Intro:
I´ve watch
ed the stars f
all silent

All the sights that I have seen
I can´t believe that I
believed I wished that you could see
There´s a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve
I´m pushing
an elephant u
p the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to th
e ground
And all thi
s talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don´t want to stay around
Why can´t we pantomime, just
close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
I´m pushing
an elephant u
p the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to th
e ground
I´m breaki
ng through I´m
bending spoon
s
I´m keeping fl
(
owers in full
bloom
I´m looking fo
r answers from
the great bey
ond
I want the hum
mingbirds, the
dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
I´m pushin

Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set
of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying
of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've
played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.

[VERSE 1]
Oh, life is
bigger
It's bigger
than you
And you are no
t me.
The lengths th

o,
The distance i
n your eyes,
Oh no, I've
said too much
,
I set it up.
[CHORUS]
That's me in t
he corner,
That's me in t
he spotlight
Losing my reli

Trying to keep
up with you.
And I don't kn
ow if I can do
it.
Oh no, I've
said too much
,
I haven't said
enough.
[BRIDGE]
I thought that
I heard you l
aughing,
I thought that
I heard you s

I think I tho
ught I saw
you try.
[VERSE 2]
Every Whisp
er of every wa
king hour
I'm choosing m
y confessions,
Trying to keep
an eye of you
Like a hurt lo
st and blinded
fool, fool
Oh no, I've
said too much
,
I set it up.
[VERSE 3]
Consider this,
consider this
,
The hint of a
century,
Consider this:
the slip
That brought m
e to my knees
failed.
What if all th
ese fantasies
Come flaili
ng around?
Now I've said
too much.
[BRIDGE]
I thought that
I heard you l
aughing,
I thought that
I heard you s

I think I tho

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing,
I don't get it
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Pulls us near
Tastes like fear.
Nearer, nearer
Over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there..
There, there, baby, yeah

Hey what's the big deal?
Tell me how to feel?
I know where we boomeranged and fell from grace.
Point me to the stars I'm up for the chase.
I know where we fell on our face.
Jump with me.
You jump with me.
Hey, what's the big deal-
I'm an animal.
(The answer landed on my rooftop. Whoa.)
I'm an animal.
(The future and the truth, on my rooftop. Whoa.)
I'm an animal.
(It's calling me to work it out.) [x2]
(Whoa)
I don't wanna boomerang.
I don't wanna cannonball.
I'm not angling.
I don't want to fall.
Tell me I'm the anchor of my own ascension.
Tell me I'm a tourist in the 4th dimension?
Hey, what's the big deal-
I'm an animal.
(The answer landed on my rooftop. Whoa.)
I'm an animal.
(The future and the truth, on my rooftop. Whoa.)
I'm an animal.
(It's calling me to work it out.)
(Whoa)
work it out.
I am vibrating at the speed of light.
Take my hand, we'll wind up the night.
Spin me, win me, lift me, kis me.
Trip me, trust me, cuss me, judge me.
touch me now.
you take my hand.
you trust me now
you understand.
Hey, what's the big deal-
I'm an animal.

chords, the F's in A formation, the C's and Am's in E form. He
upstrokes them in pairs, on what sounds like a big hollowbody electric.
The placement of the chords over the words here is inteneded only to
to denote their *approximate* temporal location. Listen to the song
and you'll be able to hear and feel where they actually go.*)

From the album - UP (1998)

I've found
a way to make
you
I've found
a way
A way to m
ake you smile
I read bad
poetry
Into your
machine.
I save you
r messages
Just to he
ar your voice.
You always
listen carefu
lly
To awkward
rhymes.
You always
say your name
,
Like I wou
ldn't know it'
s you,
At your mo
st beautiful.
I've found
a way to make
you
I've found
a way
A way to m
ake you smile
At my most
beautiful
I count yo
ur eyelashes,
Secretly.
With every
one, whisper
I love you.
I let you
sleep.
I know you
're closed eye
watching me,
Listening.
I though I
saw a smile.
I've found
a way to make
you
I've found
a way
A way to m
ake you smile

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it's so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
