[C][C5][G]

[Verse 1]
[Ab5]Do you
walk in the backdoor singing?
[G]Or do you pace, pace face thinning?
[Ab5]Inhale on that cigarette while [G]I creep
in the backdoor of your kitchen
[Ab5]Do you walk in the backdoor singing?
[G]Or do you pace,
pace your face thinning?
Inhale on that ci[Ab5]garette, tell
me how you been (Julian)
Cover tracks, broken bottles over tables
A life of red eye[G]s, chewed nails
and black labels
[C5]Creep, [C]cre[C5]ep do [B]the rounds
[C]and shut them up
Cold [B]skin, lights out,
routines [C]and [B]the[C] middleclass mutt
Sim[B]ple, simple, sweeping stores,
just playing cripple
Walking the walk, pick and choose
[C]you know, little by little
[C5]How [C]have[B] you been Julian?
Were the floors [C]wood or tile?
I was young but still
very much a child
Never learnt normal func
[B]tions or how to fit in
[C]Strange behaviours
and thoughts numbed by Ritalin
Socially retarded,
hyperactive and errat[B]ic
Repetitious urges,
label me idiosyncratic
[C]Now I'm on the outside and I'm
looking in
Staring at your pale
face (yellow- painted grin)
Before I end it all and light
up your [B]world
Can you ease my mind and answer me this...
[G](Do you hav[C]e a son Julian?
Tell [F#]what's [C]his name?)
Do you have a son Julian?
(Tell what's his name?)
Do you have a son Julian?
(Tell what's [B]his name?)
Do you have a son Julian?
(Tell what's his name?)
Do you have a son? Do you have a son?
[C]And tell [C5]me can you sleep at[C] night?
Or do you wake gripping your chest tight?
[B]I'll make you sweat for what
you've done to me
How can you sleep at night
motherfuck[C]er?
Breathe glimpses [C5]of[Cm][G][B]
colour, I try [C]to forget
[Cm]Cold sweat[G]s in the
morning, it all comes back [C]in
[C5]Breathe glim[Cm]pses of co[G]lour,
[B]I try to for[C]get
[C5]Cold sweats in [G]the[Bm]
morning, it all comes [G]back in
Now I'm on the [Ab5]outside
[Bb]and [Bm]I'm looking in[G]
I'll never for[Ab5]get the steps,
[Bb5]that n[G]ame, those hands.
