Dead Drum

F C F C F C Am G

F     C         F         C
I was restless, your were hopeless
F     C               Am          G
I was hoping we could figure this out on our own
F       C        F        C
So damn fragile, god damn beautiful
F       C     Am       G
Like an angel dripping down on my soul
F       C    F      C
Pick my body like a good girl
F      C            Am           G
I need someone to untangle these words in my head
F    C          F      C
In a white suit with a white nose
F    C             Am        G
I am stranded underneath the grip of the world

F
Don't you tell me
C              Em         Am           F
Driving up the west coast beating on a dead drum
C            G          C
isn't really helping me out
F
Cause I'm real close to
C             Em         Am          F
All the other sources of existential voices,
    C                       G          C
and that's the voice that's helping me out

F  C          F   C
Go ahead now, get away from here
F       C            Am             G
Ill be hiding in the hills till the father is real?
F        C     F      C
I'm just doing what I feel is right
F      C      Am         G
Hiding from a dream so I blend in the light
F        C          F                 C
You're a snakebite, you've stuck your teeth in me
F       C             Am        G
I'm not dying but I'm set in my reasoning
F        C        F           C
Question who now, question my disbelief
F    C           Am            G
In a statue that keeps staring back at me
F      C         F      C
Asking questions do you believe in god?
F        C       Am        G
He looks back at me with a wink and a nod

F       C       F            C
Here we are now I think I've found myself
F        C              Am    G
We won't know until the final date is unveiled
F       C       F        C
But I'm waiting for that special girl
F    C       Am           G
to unwind herself for the rest of the world
F      C          F         C
Try my spirit now it tastes real sweet
F        C              Am           G
Like the water dripping out from the stream on the east
F     C       F          C
Go to bed now I hope you sleep well
F         C        Am           G
Won't you remember me when they ask you to tell

F         C       F            C
Who's the man now in the white coat
F      C           Am          G
on the West Coast, banging his drum till the dawn?
F          C        F    C
For you to hear him underneath the sun
F       C     Am             G
full of heavy thoughts and a dream of his own
