Eric’s Trip
Sonic Youth
option tune down 1 step
when making a D chord keep hammering G string
DHatred ,I hate the past
DI can’t see anything at all, all I Fsee is Dme
DThat’s clear enough
DAnd that’s whats important, Fto see Dme
DMy eyes can focus. My brain is talking
FLooks pretty good to Dme
DMy head’s on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
FLooks pretty good to Dme
DSometimes I speak tonight there’s nothing to say
DSometimes we freak
And lFaugh all dDay
DHold these pages up to the light
DSee the jFacknife inside of the Ddream
DA railroad runs through the record stores at night
FComing in for the deep Dfreeze
DMary: a simple word, 
Dare you Fthere in the  cold Dcountry?
DYour eyes so full, your head so tight
FCan’t you hear Dme?
DRemember our talk that day on the phone?
DI was the dFoor, and you were the Dstation
DWith shattered glass and miles between us
DWe still Fflew away in the converDsation
DMy cup is full, and I feel okay
DThe world is Fdull, but not Dtoday
DShe think’s she's a goddess
DShe says she tFalks to the Dspirits
DI wonder if she can talk to herself?
DIf she can Fbear to hear Dit?
DThis is Eric’s trip
DWe’ve all come to Fwatch him Dslip
DHe’s slipping all the way to Texas
FCan you Ddig it?
DI see with a glass eye the pavement view
DA shadow forming, across the fields rushing
FThru me to Dyou
DWe tore down the world, and put up four walls
I bFreathe in the Dmyth
DI’m over the city, fucking the future
I’m Fhigh and inside your Dkiss
DWe can’t see clear
DBut what we Fsee is a Dalright
DWe make up what we can’t hear  
DAnd then we Fsing all Dnight
DScattered pages and shattered lights
See a jFackknife and see a dDream
DThere’s something moving over there on the right
Like Fnothing I've never Dseen
