Negative Reel

  G                      Am                     D                     G
society judges through a black and white prism,   leads me to cynical pessimism
    Em                          C                         B                                       A  B
the best way I see living is by giving up hope, I see the world through a rose-colored microscope
C                       D                G           G/F#          Em
  I see patterns no one else can see, in Switzerland I see reverse Nazis

       C               D                B                          Em          D
I'm an opposite, I'm a negative reel, I don't understand how other people feel
C                      D                           B              B/D#              Em
cracks in the sidewalk gimme a feeling like when I count tiles on my past checkered ceiling
    Am                   B                    Em          B
the only time I ever fit in, is when I wear a second skin
[Interlude] (repeat Intro)
Em
ah ah ah ah...

G                         Am                    D                                 G
  is there a lobe missing in my brain because I don't feel the difference between pleasure and pain
Em                         C                            B                                      A  B
  why waste a night laying naked together when we could be confined in latex or black leather?
   C                    D                           G                 G/F#          Em
 I love to kiss right before I'm gagged, I like the challenge of breathing inside a plastic bag

          C          Cmaj7        B7                            B            B/D#                 Em        D
I have a way to make believe make believe makes me real, I'm so lucky that I feel things so few others feel

       C                                 D
I just have to feel new ways to keep my mind from reeling
             G               B/D#                Em
that's why I like to hang on meat hooks from the ceiling
    Am                         B                  Em           B  Em
the only way I can turn off my brain is through exquisite pain
Here's a nice way for the ending (which is about what the harpsichord plays):
    Am                       B                         Em           B             Em
   only way I can turn [...] brain        is through exquisite pain
