The  scratches of a  dark night
The  rashes of foresight
And  I wanted  you
ooh-hoo-ooh
The  weight of my freezin'
I  have come to you
The  face I was given
I  have no similarities to
The  spaces in the  law look
Like  the faces  in a word book
I  get by
I  get by
The  matches of opportunities
Ihe  last thing  I've never seen
And  I scream  to you
ooh-hoo-ooh
The  pain i was needing
Was  sort of true
The  one aim I was  clearing
Was  the walls that grew
The  crazes I overlooked
The  leans into  the cook
And  I did
And  I did
And  I was screaming bloody murder
And  I was one with pain
And  I stopped by the roadside
Cos  it's from were I came
An  my god
But  its so far  away
It  would seem accidents
Have  gone straight to  you
And  you've changed you point  of view
And  the places your going  to
I  get crowded
I  got crowded
And  I'm so glad that your  mine
Twist  up the fabric of  time
And  I'm useless
Yes  I'm useless
And  your faces are  bodies
And  your hands are  feet
Let  me roll around
In  things I can't believe
But  I tried
Yes,  I tried
And  I tried
No  I tried
 Listen to the song to match the arpeggios that john used of these chords.
 I hope you like it! :)
