Song Against Sex Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
And the [G]first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
And when I [D]put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run
[Bm]through my cheeks
And an [G]eeriness surrounded when
his tongue began to speak
And he said...O[D]h boy
you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in
rice-paper [Bm]string.
string.
And [G]when I finally kissed him the
whole world began to ring
Lost like a [D]bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both [Bm]sides
And I [G]knew the world was
over so I took a look outside
And watched the [D]fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and
[Bm]the tops of trees
And [G]the waiting scene and
the Sunday dream
They're [D]all [G]waiting here

[Interlude 1]
for me
[D][Bm][G]

[Verse 2]
Deli [G]markets with their flower stands
And pretty girls and the burning men
Hanging [D]out on the hooks next
to the window displays
And I took out my tongue twice
[Bm]removed from my face
Across a [G]bridge and across the mountains
[D]Thr[G]ew a nickel in a fountain
[D]To [G]save [D]my soul from all
these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't
have the guts to [Bm]take
To soothe my mind so
I'm [G]always sober
Always aching, always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-sta[D]tion
attendants
attendants
Attending to their [Bm]jobs
And a [G]nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh when this [D]life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of [Bm]life
But don't [G]take those pills your
boyfriend gave you
[D]You're too [G]wonderful to [D]die

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][G][D][G]
[D][Bm][G]

[Verse 3]
And the [G]last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
When all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
And it's a [D]lie that you've been given
That just hurts you every [Bm]day
So why [G]should i lay here naked
When it's just too far away
From [D]anything we could call loving
Any love worth living for
[Bm]So I'll slee[G]p out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
And when [D]I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
[Bm]Because with a match[G] that's mean
and some gasoline

[Outro 1]
You won't see me anymore
[D][Bm][D][G]
