D, G, D

If we were children I would bake you a mud pie
Warm and brown beneath the sun
Never learned to climb a tree but I would try
Just to show you what I’d done

Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn’t do
If I had you, babe

If I were old, my dearest, you would be older
But I would crawl upon your lap
Wrap a blanket ?round our frail little shoulders
And I’d die happily like that

Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn’t do
If I had you, babe, if I had you
G, D, A, D
G, D, A

So lace your hands ?round the small of my back and I will kiss you like a king
I will be your bride, I’ll keep you warm at night
I will sing, I will sing

G, D, G, D
G, D, A

It was now and we were both in the same place
Didn’t know how to say the words
With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage
I left before someone got hurt

Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn’t do
If I had you, babe, if I had you

I think think this sounds almost identical if you are like me and do not have
strong enough fingers for bar-chords, so these chords are all open. Oh, and sorry
if you don’t know how to read the tabbed chart below. Just add some palm-muting in
and it should sound great. So…ya.

One of us is gonna be here and

One of us is gonna be running
Off alone into the great unknown
You’re not me, you’re a model of freedom

All you need are your kicks when you need ‘em
Come and go, caught that slow alright
With one hand off the side
We get farther away in the blink of an eye

(Chorus)

And it’s the time we waste
Swallowed into space
[(Asus2)]

It’s the time it takes to blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away

[(Asus2)]

blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away

(2nd Verse: same chords)

Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
Say what you want, what you say, say anything
No one knows just how deep it goes
We are old in your teenaged tyranny
And all you need is a hunger to feed
I’ve got my own secrets though, say what?

With a heart full of mess and lore
We are doomed but we wanted more and more

It’s the ride we take
The many-winged escape

It’s the bough we break to blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away

(instrumental)

(bridge: same chords as verses)

One of us is now retreating
You knocked me down so hard I’m seeing a thousand stars
Come out where you are
‘Cause I won’t ever be caught crying
And I will not be taken lying down
It blows into smoke

(chorus)

The time we waste
Swallowed into space

It’s the time it takes to blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

It’s the ride we take
The many winged escape

It’s the bough we break to blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

It’s the times we say that no one’s gonna take your place

It’s a mistake to blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away
We blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away

capo 1

G, D 2x

You should be wilder
You’re no fun at all
Yeah, thanks for the input
Thanks for the call
With dull knives and white hands
The blood of stone
Cold to the touch, right
Right down the bone

But you.. give me the electric twist
And it kicks, it kicks like a pony
And true, you might get away with it
It’s a risk, it’s a risk, yeah

(G, D, G, D) 2x
Picked from a hot grove
Packaged for sale
It drips down the sleeve gets
Under your nails
A loss of the senses
A chip off a tooth
The smells of the city
They ride in your suit

He says “don’t think, don’t talk”
Don’t think
Don’t think, Don’t talk
Don’t think
Don’t think, Don’t talk
But I don’t think I want to

(G, F, C, D) 2x
‘Cuz you.. give me the electric twist
And it kicks
And it kicks, like a pony
And true.. you might run away with it
It’s a risk, it’s a risk, yeah

Because it kicks, yeah
It really kicks, yeah

Em, G, D 2x

And the touch of you lips
It’s a shock, not a kiss
It’s electric twist, It’s electric twist, yeah

(G, Em, G, D)
He says “don’t think, don’t talk”
Don’t think
Don’t think, Don’t talk
Don’t think
Don’t think, Don’t talk
But I don’t think I want to

(G, F, C, D) 2x
‘Cuz you give.. give me the electric twist
And it kicks
And it kicks, yeah
And true.. letcha get away with it
It’s a risk,
It’s a risk, yeah

(Em, G, D)
You might get away with it
It’s a risk, yeah
But it kicks, yeah
It really kicks, yeah

G, D …

intro:
C…
C, Dm, Gm, F 2x

Wretched, look at me, I’ve lost it, melting on the table
In parking lots and markets
I can’t help it, I love you like a starfish loves the salty water
Like a selfish daughter

Yet I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it

Foolish, how was I so careless, pawning off my treasure,
The envy of an heiress
Now my dollars are crumbled in my pocket, how can I reclaim it?
What if someone’s got it?

When I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it

C, Dm, Gm, F 2x

How could the world have turned so ugly
I am dying
Could you touch me again?
Touch me again

When I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it

Verse
Quick kid quip, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don’t like this new, I want the old

It’s not the words that make it final
You’ve said such things before to rival them
But it’s how you say ‘em now that’s changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same

Chorus:
Lie to convince me that I’ll be better off
So you go on and I’ll be happier, I’ll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You’ll be gone and I’ll be happier

Verse:
Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger’s on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend

Chorus:
It’s all to convince me that I’ll be better off
So you go on and I’ll be happier, you go on and I’ll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You’ll be gone and I’ll be happier

Gm, Bb, Dm, C
{}

Gm, F, Dm, C

Say what you mean, what you mean
Cause you’ll be happier without me, without me, without me, oh

Gm, Eb, Bb, F

You won’t convince me, that i’ll be better off
So you go on and i’ll be happier, i’ll be happier
You go on, you go
You’ll be gone, and i’ll be gone
You go on and i’ll be happier, you go on and i’ll be happier
You go on, you go on, you go on and i’ll go on and i’ll be happier
You on and i’ll be happier, you go on and i’ll be happier
You go on, and i’ll be happier

intro:
D, G, D, Em, D

You say your time has come
You’re tired of waking up
Don’t be obscene, I can’t conceive of
Living without you

You say you drag me down
No one should want you now
When I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say
I’m not allowed to

Burning beacon in the night
Can’t feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide
it must get lonely there sometimes

You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you

I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply, your parents tried
but they didn’t know how to

Burning beacon in the night
Can’t feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide
D G D, G, D, G, D
it must get lonely there sometimes

Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
G D G, D, G
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light

Burning beacon in the night
Can’t feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide
it must get lonely there sometimes
