EmListen to the sounds of ringing out around you
Bmthese are the cries of a dying breed
EmPolitics of hate you'd never get around to 
Bmblood over brains that we never need
EmI saw you in the back, studied and relaxed 
Bmfixed in the post like a silent stone 
EmSerenity and tact, it's the feeling that I lack 
BmLife in the floors of a stable home 
I can trGace you on paper like a skeDtch of a smell 
You're a brGeath to the runner in conDtest 
In clGose to the nerve, but you rF#est so far aBmway
and I have to giGve it up somAeday 
DEvery time I close my eAyes I see you in frGont of me
F#mPretending in a lEmove like thDis 
I have no choAice but to put you in bEmack of me
Don't coGver my footAsteps
BmDead weight all right, I know you're no gGood for me 
BmDead weight all right, I know you're no righGteous leader 
DYou're dead weight-all riAght, that's fine-but get your hEmands off me 
You have to touch me with kGid gloves 
You have to touch me with Bmkid gloves

EmI never felt so alive at once 
BmFinger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still 
Empressed to the drain of the coming months 
Cheer me Emup, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k
Cheer me Cup, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore 
Cheer me Gup, cheer me up, I'm invFisibly stuck all in Emmyself 
Yes I’m a vanity whore 
Because it's rGace and it's power at the cenDter of life,

F#m

Em Bm

Listen to the sounds of ringing out around you

these are the cries of a dying breed

Politics of hate you'd never get around to

blood over brains that we never need

I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed

fixed in the post like a silent stone

Serenity and tact, it's the feeling that I lack

Life in the floors of a stable home

G D

I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell

G D

You're a breath to the runner in contest

G F# Bm

In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away

G A

and I have to give it up someday

D A G

Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me

F#m Em D

Pretending in a love like this

A Em

I have no choice but to put you in back of me

G A

Don't cover my footsteps

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader

D A Em

You're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me

You have to touch me with kid gloves

Em Bm

Body to the wind, you talk me out of standstill

I never felt so alive at once

Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still

pressed to the drain of the coming months

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore

G F Em

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself

Yes I’m a vanity whore

G D

Because it's race and it's power at the center of life,

G D

we’re blind to the people who need us,

G F# Bm

but you're the kind of person who could understand that fault

G A

and I hope to measure you someday.

D A G

Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me

F#m Em D

Pretending in a love like this

A Em

I have no choice but to put you in back of me

G A

Don't cover my footsteps

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader

D A Em

You're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me

You have to touch me with kid gloves

Em C

G F

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore

G F Em

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself

Yes I’m a vanity whore

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k

Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore

When you compromise yourself like that

It's a dedication

So even on friendship

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me

Bm G

Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader

D A Em

Dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me

You have to touch me with kid gloves
