SCOUNDREL DAYS

(B-) | (B-) | (B-)(9) | (B-)(9)
o o o o
Was that somebody screaming it wasn't me for sure
o o
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows put my feet on the floor
cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door
outside on the pavement the dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips leaking into my mouth
o o
I'm heading out for the steep hills they're leaving me no..
o---o-o-o o o o
cho..ice and see........ as our lives are in the ma...king
we belie........ve through the lies and the hating
,---3---,
o
that love goes free
for want of an option I run the wind 'round
I dream pictures of houses burning never knowing nothing else to do
o o
with death comes the morning unannounced and new
was it too much to ask for to pull a little weight
they forgive anything but greatness these are scoundrel days
o--o
and I'm close to calling out their names as pride hits my fa..ce
o-----o
yeeheehee and see........ as our lives are in the ma...king
we belie.......ve through the lies and the hating
(uoh no!)
o o o o
that love goes free........ through scoundrel days..... yehy.... hm
ah ah
I reach the edge of town I've got blood in my hair
their hands touch my body from everywhere
o o
but I know that I've made it as I run into the air
o o
hmeah yeah
and see........ as our lives are in the ma...king
we belie.......ve through the lies and the hating
(uoh no!)
that love goes free........ oh wo through scoundrel days

You say the world's an eventful place
you give me news I don't want to know
you say that I should care that I should speak my mind
oh but how can I speak of the world rushing by with a lump in my throat and
tears in my eyes oh have we come to the point of no turning back or is it
still time to get into the swing of things
- | -/ |
let us walk through this windless city
I'll go on till the winter gets me
"Oh sleep..." you wrote "sleep my dear..." in a letter somewhere
o
oh but how can I sleep with your voice in my head with an ocean
between us and room in my bed oh have I come to the point where I'm losing
o |. |. |
the grip or is it still time to get into the swing of things
|. |. | |. |. |
- | - | - | - | - | - |
oh when she gloves in the dark and I'm weak by the sight of this
breathtaking beauty in which I can hide oh there's a world full out there
of people I fear but given time I'll get into the swing of things yes
when she gloves in the dark and I'm struck by the sight I know that I'll
o o
need this for the rest of my li.........fe but I know
- c#d

that I'll need this... ...the rest of my life oh but I'll
o o
nee....d this you know that I'll nee....d this
what have I done what lies I have told I've played games with the ones that
c#c#
rescued my soul oh have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip or
(oh but I'll neeeee...................d this)
is it still time to get into the swing of things
I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU
--------------------
| | | | | | | _|
it wasn't rain that washed away rinsed out the colours of your eyes
putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized
it wasn't the rain that made no difference and I could have sworn it
wasn't me yet I did it all so coldly almost slowly
o--------d
plain for all to see oh c'mon please now talk to me
(aaah!)
tell me things I could find helpful how can I stop now
(aaah!)
is there nothing I can do I have lost my way
I've been losing you hm
I can still hear our screams competing you're hissing your s's
like a snake now in the mirror stands half a man I thought no one could
break it wasn't the rain that made no difference nervously drumming on:
"Run away!" but I want the guilt to get me thoughts to wreck me
o---------d
preying on my mind so please now talk to me
(aaah!)
tell me things I could find helpful how can I stop now
(aaah!)
o
is there nothing I can do.. I have lost my way
|. d |~----|.
I've been losing you

| | | | + | | |
Dawn awaits a sleepless English town of coloured grey
here I roam the streets without you as summer fades away
o o o
down in the city at nights hmmmmmmm the cold wind blows
wherever you may be right now it must be getting late
you're probably asleep already I am wide awake
down in the city at nights mmmmmmmhh...
don't be lonely so you've told me but don't you worry now
loneliness can be ignored and time has shown me how
down in the city at nights oh I'm missing you so much *whistle*
*whistle* *whistle*
down in the city hm down in the city hhm hmm

say that I didn't try you see things in the depths of my eyes
. . . .
that my love's run dry no! I'll leave
. . . . . . .
to their goodbyes I've come to depend on the look in their eyes my
. . .
blood's sweet for pain the wind and the rain bring back words of a song
and they say wave goodbye wave goodbye wave goodbye wave goodbye
4/4
o------d
wave goodbye............ but you know I don't want to fall again
(wave goodbye)
