Tuning: standard, capo 1st fret
This is just the chords, you can work out the picking by listening to the
track but I can't quite get the timing right... (if anyone has any suggestions let me
know!!)
Intro:
C, with an occassional |----3---0-------1---0---| on the first string; this pattern
is also repeated after each chorus and at the end of the second verse.
1st Verse:
C
Sometimes I walk around town looking at faces,
Em F G
Wonderin' why their bodies go to silly places.
C
Walkin' past the carpet mills, looking in and takin' stills,
Em F G
Your ass it draws me in like a Bermuda highway.
Chorus:
Em F C Am
Oh, don't carve me out, don't let your silly dreams, fall in between,
G F C
The crack of the bed and the wall, oh oh oh
2nd Verse:
Two times I fell asleep in a dirty basement,
Snoozing in cobwebs and cement.
Sometimes I wonder why some meek guy got all the fame,
Maybe I'm to blame, for his short, bitter, fucked up life.
Chorus x2
Outro: F Em F G C x2

| I think "Sometimes I wonder why that meek guy got all the fame Maybe I'm to blame for his short, bitter, fucked-up life" is referring to one of his "dreams" that he didn't follow through with or pay attention to. He is responsible for the "short fucked up life" because he disregarded it instead of keeping track of his "silly dreams." | |

| i think, if anything, the chorus is just an invitation to not lose your childish sense of wonder. | |

| Hey Mr. Theo Reo I 'm really surprised too. This song's great...reminds me of good feelings. But what is it about ? In my opinion, that verse "Don't let your silly..." is an invite not to waste dreams , even if silly, could be? | |

| to me this song is about the singer's yearning for something in his life.. and his disbelief that "that meek guy" achieved fame. | |
