(D major) (D minor) (F major) (D minor)
(G major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 1
The road sounds like footsteps, (D major)
there are mouths opening all around (G major) us,
mouth (F major) s mute (D minor) and urgent, and ears twisting,
listen (F major) ing, (E minor) an d the road tramples patterns
in the leaves, the litter, and the oil (C major) stains.
The rain beats at the windshield,
catching the colors in the headlights.
(D major) Sometimes my reflection,
sometimes your face.
(D minor) Your face is a (F major) calendar, you face the pages,
and on every page you are naked. (D minor)
(E minor) You're flooded with an endless stream of images
and ideas that don't belong to you.
These pages (C major) turn.
Words turn.
Images of images.
Signs of more signs. (D major)
Behind all the road signs is nothing.
And as the memories (G major) grow
further (D minor) and further between,
it all starts coming in faster. (F major)
(E minor) You're eating up the miles as
the road force feeds you,
Cramming in pictures,
cramming in words
Leav (C major) ing no chance of a taste
of the present
Drowning out your moment (D major) (A minor)
(D major) (Dsus4) (C major) (A minor) (E minor) (D major)
Subtitle all your memories,
now that the past speak (G major) s in unfamiliar voices. (D minor)
There is no contex (F major) t with a (E minor) shape
for your memories to fit.
Your place keeps shifting,
and words keep slipping in and out of (C major) place.
And from everywhere, remembering falsehoods,
whispering (F major) lies. (D major)
You sneak up on the last
thing you believed.
you try to close (D minor) it in your hand and feel it
with your fin (F major) gers but it just
crumbles in (C major) between them (E minor) and you try
to close it in your hand you begin to take
on all (C major) of the characteristics of
somebody you admire
when you look over your shoulder (D major) you can't
trace which is your shadow and
which is the phantom try (D minor) to conjure up a
moment of unity and all of it comes up
The (E minor) connections,
the confessions, contradictions
As you cough out more pic (C major) tures
And spit out the objections and
customs (D major) (A minor)
(E minor) (D major) (E minor)
Oh, oh, (D major) oh, oh, oh (F major) (G major) (F major) oh, (G major) (E minor) oh, oh, (C major)
(A minor) This is a (C major) candle, this (D major) is a candle,
(E minor) this (A minor) is a (C major) candle (F major) (D minor)
(D major) Your memory is your bulimia,
and the past is an object (D minor) that's stuck in your throat
You learn things you never asked
to be taught. (F major)
(E minor) That's what you get for living
in this 20th century box.
Your face is a calendar.
You (C major) face the pages,
and on every page you are naked.
There is no context with
(E minor) a shape (D major) for us to fit.
Take away the lines.
Take away the shading.
(D minor) Have to learn (G major) subdivides (D minor) and
spirals and crashes into pieces.
(E minor) Take away the frame.
Take away the faith.
All you have are fragments. (C major)
You can't fit into this shapeless center.
(D major) The language perfects all purpose.
All talk is pointless. (D minor)
(G major) You've reached a
disconnected (D minor) nowhere. (F major)
Your (D minor) face is a (E minor) cal endar.
Subtitle all your memories.
Know that the past speaks in
unfamiliar voices.
(C major) Remember,
you're turning out your moment,

Verse 2
this (D major) is a killer
This (A minor) is a killer, (C major) (D major) this is a killer
Your (A minor) face is a (C major) mirror,
your (E minor) (D major) face is a mirror (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
