Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
In the middle of the night
D
I was sleeping sitting up
G
When a doctor came to tell
me, "Enough is enough"
D
C
He brought me out into the hall (I could
D
have sworn it was haunted)
C
And told me something that I didn't
D
G
know that I wanted to hear
That there was nothing that
G
The choir's going to sing,
D
C
and this thing is going to kill you
Something in my throat made
C
And something in the wires made
G
There was glass inside my feet and
D
raining down from the ceiling
G
It opened up the scars that
D
had just finished healing
C
It tore apart the canyon running
C
(Ithought that it was beautiful,
D
G
it made me a believer)
And as it opened I could hear you
howling from your room
But I hid out in the hall until
the hurricane blew
C
When I reappeared and tried to
D
give you something for the pain
C
You came to hating me again
and just sang your refrain
Verse 2
it was more like a nightmare
Bm
G
Em
You were just a little kid,
and they cut your hair
G
C
Then they stuck you in machines,
G
you came so close to dying
C
They should have listened,
D
they thought that you were lying
Em
Built the gears in your head,
now he greases them up
G
C
And no one paid attention when you just
C
"Eighty-seven pounds!" pounds!"
and this all bears repeating

Verse 3
when you think that we became so unhappy
Wearing silver rings with
nobody clapping
When we moved here together we

G
C
Sleeping out of tune with
G
It killed me to see you
D
getting always rejected
G
But I didn't mind the things you threw,
C
I didn't mind you blaming
G
D
me for your mistakes
C
G
I just held you in the door-frame through
D
through all of the earthquakes
G
But you packed up your clothes
D
in that bag every night
G
And I would try to grab your
ankles (what a pitiful sight)
D
G
But after over a year,
I stopped trying to stop you
C
From stomping out that door
D
Coming back like you always do
G
Well no one's going to fix it for us,
no one can
You say that, "No one's going to listen,
and no one understands"
Verse 4
and there's no way to get through
D
C
There's no other witnesses,
Verse 5
G
There's two people living

From your two half-families
C
Two ways to tell the story
G

Am
Two silver rings on our finger

G
D
Two people talking inside your brain
Bm
Em
Two people believing that
G
C
Two different voices coming
out of your mouth
While I'm too cold to care
Verse 6
and too sick to shout
it was more like a nightmare
Em
You were just a little kid,
C
Then they stuck you in machines,
you came so close to dying
They should have listened,
G
they thought that you were lying
D
G
Daddy was an asshole,
he fucked you up
Em
Built the gears in your head,
C
And no one paid attention when you
just stopped eating
"Eighty-seven pounds!" pounds!"

and this all bears re peating
