G6sus2,4: 000212
The mi- - nus is love-less,
He talks to the land
And the leaves fall
And the pond over-ices.
She dont know the sys-tem, plus
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
She dont un- - -derstand
Shes got all the wrong fu- - ses and spli-ces
Shes not gonna fix it up too easy.
The mask- ing tape tan-gles,
Its stic-ky and black. And
The cop-per
Proud headed Queen Lizzie
Con-ducts little char-ges
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
That dont get charged back.
Well, the technical man- - -u- -als bus-y
Shes not gonna fix it up too easy.
And she holds out her flash- light
And she shines it on me.
She wants me to tell her
What the trouble might be.
Well, Im learning
Its peaceful
G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
With a good dog and some trees,
Out of touch with the break- down
Of this cen-tury
They're not gonna fix it up
Too easy
G1 G7sus4 G1 Am7 G1
G1 G1
G1 Am7 G6sus2,4 Gmaj7
G1
We once loved - together
And we floodlit that time
Input output electricity
But the lines overloaded
And the sparks started flying
And the loose wires
Were lashing out at me
She's not gonna fix it up
Too easy
But she hold out her candle
And she shines it in
And she begs him to show her
How to fix it again
While the song that he sang her
To soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits
Like a heartbeat
She's not gonna fix it up
Too eas- - -y
ending: / (repeat until fade)
