[Verse]
Em
Caught up in a pissing contest

Gasping empty air
    Am
I'm losing precious time
   Em
So don't keep me in mind

E    Em

Nourished by my disappointment

Parasitic grief
               Am
And there's no turning back
  Em
A widow dressed in black

B
Silence

Golden

Bm  B  Em

Where I used to look for comfort

Is cursed hollow cold
Am
Right back in death's embrace
      Em
A man without a face


I became completely lucid

Said "who are, who are you?"

Em Am

  Em
I felt his icy breath


When I turned around to face him

I was paralyzed
           Am
I couldn't turn around
           Em         D
Or open up my eyes

G      Am   C                 G
You'll get over it easy, babe
    Am                    C
See you're bouncing right back again
G             Am
Right now its overkill
C                            G
But in six months it will be fine
     Am
Even charming
  C
Yeah

G  Am  C  G G  Am  C  G
       Am           C          G
If the angels would sing today
        Am                 C
You'd explain it away, I'm sure
             G       Am
And when the nearest dream recedes
             C              G
The dream of Reading and of Leeds
    Am                            C
All going off at once in your mind

             Bm
One of these days
                 C
Gonna get to the heart
             Bm
One of these days
                      C
When the bridge falls apart
             Bm
One of these days
                    C
Right back at the start
             Bm
One of these days
      C              D
We'll never be apart again

G       Am           C        G
Burning Six Flags in effigy
       Am       C
Didn't read the report
        G                Am          C
But you know he's such a juggernaut
                     G
And it's never not a lot
       Am           C   G
In the passionless void

       Am       C
What a bitter macaroon
G       Am       C
What a sour eclair
G        Am
And this hysteria
C                        G
Has made us all aware of where
        Am        C
All the buoys are submerged

             Bm
One of these days
                 C
Gonna get to the heart
             Bm
One of these days
                      C
When the bridge falls apart
             Bm
One of these days
                  C
Right back at the start
             Bm
One of these days
      C          D       G
We'll never ever be apart
