LEVERS AND GEARS
Capo 2nd fret
A F#m A E
AYou see I've this friend
Who doesn't exist
He takes F#mstrides all in time
With the watch on his wrist
And I onDly speak E'cos he compels F#mme toE  A  
It's much like the voice
That lives in my sleep
Painting Xes on dreams
That I'd like to keep
But I'd rather not mention that they all feature you
A F#m E E
CHORUS:
DMaybe I'm not riEght between my earsF#m  
DBut crazy's just crazy, so it maEkes me not an ouAnce less sincereF#m  
DBut I've got a notion that you'rEe this way too
ASo let's be together in a white F#mpadded room
And make lovely Bmmachines of our twisted Dup levers and gearsE  
A F#m A E
Sometimes I send letters
From my fireplace
Yeah, I set them aglow
Watch them burn into space
As they float softly away from me
They're all addressed
To the blackest of skies
And I ask them to pour 
On all but you and I
So we'd huddle dry underneath the same tree
CHORUS
A F#m
DBut my soul's got a voice
AAnd a black telephone
DAnd it calls me at night 
EWhen I am alone
C#mAnd it's ranting and raving in languages BmI can't speakE  
DBut if everyone thought
AAll their thoughts right aloud
DWould we all be locked up
EAnd never let out?
C#mI'm convinced itBm's not only meE  
CHORUS

LEVERS AND GEARS

Capo 2nd fret

A F#m A E

You see I've this friend

Who doesn't exist

F#m

He takes strides all in time

With the watch on his wrist

D E F#m E A

And I only speak 'cos he compels me to

It's much like the voice

That lives in my sleep

Painting Xes on dreams

That I'd like to keep

But I'd rather not mention that they all feature you

A F#m E E

CHORUS:

D E F#m

Maybe I'm not right between my ears

D E A F#m

But crazy's just crazy, so it makes me not an ounce less sincere

D E

But I've got a notion that you're this way too

A F#m

So let's be together in a white padded room

Bm D E

And make lovely machines of our twisted up levers and gears

A F#m A E

Sometimes I send letters

From my fireplace

Yeah, I set them aglow

Watch them burn into space

As they float softly away from me

They're all addressed

To the blackest of skies

And I ask them to pour

On all but you and I

So we'd huddle dry underneath the same tree

CHORUS

A F#m

But my soul's got a voice

And a black telephone

And it calls me at night

When I am alone

C#m Bm E

And it's ranting and raving in languages I can't speak

But if everyone thought

All their thoughts right aloud

Would we all be locked up

And never let out?

C#m Bm E

I'm convinced it's not only me

CHORUS
