What [D]gives this mess some grace unless it's [A]kicks, man -
unless it is [Bm]fictions, unless it's [A]sweat or it's songs?

?What [D]hits against this chest unless it's a [A]sick man's hand,
?from some [Bm]midlevel band? He's been [A]driving too long

>on a [D]dark windless night, with the [A]stereo on,
>with the [Bm]towns flying by and the [G]ground getting [A]soft.

?>And a [D]sound in the sky, coming [A]down from above,
?>it sur[Bm]rounds you and sighs and is [G]whispering [A]of

?what [D]pulls your body down, and that is [A]quicksand.
?So climb out [Bm]quick, hand over hand, before your [A]mouth's all filled up.

?What [D]picks you up from down unless it's [A]tricks, man?
?When I've been [Bm]fixed I am convinced that I will [A]not get so broke up again.

?>And on a [D]seven day high, that [A]heavenly song
?>punches [Bm]right through my mind and just [G]hums through my [A]blood.

?>And I [D]know it's a lie, but I'll [A]still give my love.
?>Hey, my [Bm]heart's on the line for your [G]hands to pluck [A]off.

[D] [A] [Bm] [A]

?What [D]gives this mess some grace unless it's [A]fiction -
?unless it's [Bm]licks, man, unless it's [A]lies or it's love?

?>What [D]breaks this heart the most is the ghost of some [A]rock and roll fan,
?>floating [Bm]up from the stands with her [G]heart opened [A]up.

?>And I want to tell her, "Your [D]love isn't lost," and say "my [A]heart is still crossed!"
?>I want to scream, "hey, you're [Bm]so wonderful! What a [G]dream in the [A]dark -

?>about [D]working so hard, about [A]glowing, so stoned,
?>trying [Bm]not to turn off, trying [G]not to believe in that [A]lie all on your [D]own."
