Perfecting Loneliness Tab

by Jets To Brazil


Part 1
             
I'm a long list with no time.
Sunset panic on the street,
sugar and lightbulbs,
the milk of kindness is behind us now.

Part 2
                            
With all those stones in your coat,
               
did you think I wouldn't know?

The tea leaves of trashed streets,
dirty needles and sweets.
Zero to heaven in seven,
 lifetime,
 nanosecond.
All the sand in your glass
is going by so fast.

Part 3
            
The radio is playing our tune.
                 
I love it, could you turn it down?
                  
The thought of you crying in my room;
                   
I miss you, could you come around

sometime?

When the night comes down,
the world becomes a room
under the microscope
with a labcoat and glue.

I'm fixing this hole
with everything I knew.

The music is making my head split.
I love it, could you turn it off?
The thought of you is tearing me in two.
I miss you, could you come around
sometime?

Sometime?

Part 4
           
This list is what went right;
            
your name is written twice.
We live like astronauts
and our missions never cross.

            
The stakes are high,
            
we're standing by.


E - B - C#m - A (interlude thingy)

                                     
There used to be a hundred ways to put my arms around you;
Every one seemed new,
natural and true,
perfecting loneliness
'til nothing's holding us.
Consider Earth:
we could be the first.
