These are just the raw chords for this song. It's up to you to figure out
the strumming pattern and shapes/positions of the chords that are used.
Intro
              G
  wait-wait-wait-
             Bm                  Em
  before you go i want you to know
                  Am        D                                G
  all that you were and the sound that you made when you moved
                 Bm                Em
  before you leave i need you to see
                  Am           D                Am
  all that you mean, you would hardly believe it
    (bass build-up on G)
Verse 1
  G                                Em
  sitting in the kitchen wondering how it is i'll tell you this
            Am                 C
  when the phone rings, so i start right in then:
  G                               Em
  we are shells or instruments, inside there's sound that speaks to us
       Am                       D
  if you listen, and i've been listening
Chorus 1
          G                             Em
  and i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit
      F                           C
  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got
   G                               Em
  sorry to confuse you with some foolish thing that misses truth
      F                                 C
  but maybe that's all we are, around a brightly dying star
Verse 2
         G                           Em
  these spiralled shells so sexual, could out-reveal the texts
               Am           C
  we dwell upon, or maybe not, but certainly
  G                            Em
  a sound that's free can open me and easily
               Am                      D
  just rip my heart out, and start me shouting:
Interlude 1 (played on piano)
  G               C#m  D  D#m  Em  Em7  C  Cm
  this is how i feel... (repeat)
Chorus 2
      G                            Em
  i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit
       F                          C
  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got
   G                             Em
  sorry to abuse you with this ruthlessly sadistic music
       F                                   C
  but maybe that's all i want (i'm just a really pretentious guy)
Interlude 2
                                     G
  but wait! wait! wait! wait! wait! wait!
             Bm                 Em
  before you go, i want you to know
                Am             D                            G
  all that you were, and the sound that you made when you moved
              Bm                   Em
  before you leave, i need you to see
                am              D (start making it funky!)
  all that you mean, you would hardly believe it
  Am                           D
  you would hardly believe it, you would hardly believe it...
  Am                          D
  if i could just speak it, you would hardly believe it...
  D
  you would hardly believe
Outro (piano again)
  G               C#m  D  D#m  Em  Em7  C  Cm
  but this is how i feel...
