(Intro)
D*,G*,Bm*,(A*),G*
D*
40 steps to the end of the private lives
G*
54 steps on to the upturned hand
Bm* (A*)
233 steps towards the hidden garden
G*
527 steps to the lion’s mountain
D*
184 steps to the etching box
G*
376 steps to the walking planks
Bm* (A*)
433 steps to the watchtower on the sea
G*
17 steps down to the beach
D*
I saw the door and I looked through the entrance
G*
Stare down night sky, dot pattern seeming endless
Bm* (A*)
Broken friendship, dandy dog on leash
G*
Door latch caught spot, shoe stomp on street
DTape deck plays and the reels will spin
GSuburb sound close down as boom-bap begin
Bm(A)
Red face hide in the shades of the trees
GAs buggered blue moonlight pass through the leaves
DCarry out my concerning deeds in the deprivation of the darkness
GThe com-com-comfort of cave-dweller locked inside of apartment
Bm(A)
Spark this with the marked mistakes of minors learning
GHow to build a better book of matches by watching the fire burning
DCount all my dreams on a pair of Pinocchio fingers
GAnd trace the trail back home by the tumbling splinters
Bm(A)
A silly beginner, basic apprentice aggression
GIn the absence of a master, trying to make up my own lesson
D* G*
Who knew I would, I would wait such a long time
Bm* A*
Who knew I would, I would wait such a long time
(Chorus)
From the Gdreams to leaves to the cracks in the pavement
To the Droaches and rats to the armoured cars pacing
From the sGpies to the thieves to the cross-eyed complainers
To the... Dain't that long when you count out the paces
From the bGreach to the tracks to the aliens with statements
To the gDrief to the crap that they all want to wade in
To the D/C#forth and back, the forth and back
There is no turning back, back, back, back Dagain
D*,G*,Bm*,(A*),G*
DSecrets explode whether you mean it or not
GI locked my dreams with the right keys but I worked the wrong lock
Bm(A)
The strong box screws split quick before I could retighten
GI learned lightening strikes and leaves before language leaks it lightens
DThe waking of the dead to live and work with the freaks
GI was a vampire roaming streets when I would swear I'is a sleep
Bm(A)
The beeping of the buzzer burn my brain the next day
GI tried to brush my teeth but never could remove the blood stains
DA double life of moonlighting grows tiring from trying
GIf you got to work a day job and keep the villagers from rioting
Bm(A)
The list of lies, lengthened longer, left life laymen honest
GInvited the world into my home to show the bones stacked in my closet
DA dumb little skeleton walking miles to chase a silly dream
GStubborn skull, split shoes, punctuated by abrasive feet
Bm(A)
All the while stalking, walking, awkward through the night
GIn the stomach of the suburbs with a dog by my side
D*,G*,Bm*,A*
