Intro: Bm - G - Em
Verse 1
Bm G Em
I am the key to the lock in your house
Bm G Bm
That keeps your toys in the basement
Bm G Em
And if you get too far inside
Bm G Em
You'll only see my reflection
Bm G Em
It's always best when the light is off
Bm G Em
I am the pick in the ice
Bm G Em
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
Bm G Em
You know we're friends till we die
Chorus

And either way you turn, I'll be there

Open up your skull, I'll be there
Em
Climbing up the walls

D |--------------9--9[Let ring]----9--9--7--7--------------------------------|
A |--------------------------------------------10--9[Let ring]---------------|
E |-------------------------------------------------------------7[Let ring]--|
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Put the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
(Chorus)
(Then the solo... which i haven't done yet)

| radiohead is a band where... for example.. say you hear one of their songs.. karma police... perhaps. Once youve gotten done with this song, you say to yourself... man!.. karma police is my favorite song. But, next day later you listen to another radiohead song.. you say to yourself again.. man.. this song is my favorite.. and it keeps going and going. Radiohead is a band amongst others. They dont just have one big hit, theyve got the whole stack. | |

| I've read the mental institution thing too. but knowing Thom's lyrics I'm prettys sure he's just using an every day life experience to desrcipe something deeper. | |

| This song isn't that scary, its just a bit weird. This song is really really good though! The drums make the song really good, and that pinging sound which is a bit scary! The screaming at the end is weird too, but cool!! | |

| I adore this song, its my favourite radiohead song thus far. It's just amazing. Haunting and still profound even if it is cryptic. Makes me wish the insight we get into thom yorkes mind didnt come so fleetingly. Again he can be surreal and detached, but you are dragged in there. | |

| Listen to this song late at night, alone, locked in your room with headphones on and your eyes closed. I double-dog dare you. :-) I'd have to say my favorite part is when Thom gives his distorted scream at the end... Chilling! | |

| this is probably my all time favorite radiohead song. it sends a chill down my spine everytime I hear it. radiohead is such an awesome group. very few musicians today can draw a listener into the music as radiohead can. i love it. absolutely love it. | |

| this song is actually about when thom yorke worked in a mental hospital or something. i remember reading it had to do with some program in england where they let the safest mental patients out on release. which is what that line about hit the alarm is about. people around asylums had alarms in thier houses, cos the people they let out werent always safe. so its a first person account of crazy people terrorizing people. (i remember thom saying it was about waking up so see someones eyes outside his window.) creepy. | |
