Cecilia & Her Selfhood

Key: CCapo 4Hard

Fm7

Em7

Cm7

In the center of the city was a statue and her twin

And together they watched over everything

Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand

I'd swear Cecilia and her sister had it all planned

Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door

Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw

Cecilia had been broken, while her sister had been spared

And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere

FmAnd I knewC it madAme me woFmnder what kind of twisted mind

WoulCd ever hAmurt Fmher, so thoughtless and unkind

But a monsCter so cAmruel can't beFm7 that hard to find

FmBoys

So I Cstarted wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends

For CAmecilia we'dC be hunters 'till the end

She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent

ThAmough I Cguess I never understood exactly what it meant

Oh FmI knowC CecilAmia and Fmher sister were just statues made of stone

But IC still misseAmd herFm and now her sister's all alone

No thCat just won't do!

So let's Amraid the vandal's Fm7homes

FmBoys

So we Cventured out at sunrise

With oAmur torches and our spears

ACnd our shotguns and our fears

And ouAmr carefully hidden tears

For CeCcilia, Cecilia

NFmow IC'm thinking of the moment

When Amwe can loFmok them in the eye

And makCe them sorry, Am'cause tonight they'rFme gonna die

Yeah, we'll shoot tChem up dead!

LeaveAm their bodFm7ies where they lie

FmBoys

SoC now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door

Every Amshattered limb repeatedly reCminding us of what we're searching for

And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim

Yes tAmhey're quite aCware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain

They are FmdreamiCng of, the feeling of!

A AmtrophyFm in their arms,C a herAmo's welcFmome, claiming women with their charms

Oh IC'm sorry if I hurt yoAmu, yFm7ou know I swear I meant no harm

FmBaby

So the CtrailEm7, it Amkeeps oCm7n turning as we wander through the streets

I keep Fmlooking atC, the piecEm7es of Cecilia Fmat my feet

BCut the strangest thing occurs to me

When I stop to look around

Oh I'd Amswear we aCre returning to the center of the town!

YesFm we're bacCk here, where we started

Where AmCeciliaFm used to stCand, but her sister looks different

PAmlease, teFmll me boys, if you can?

Is that a smile on her Cface?

Is that a Amhammer in her Fm7hand?

G/F

There are waveEms uEsus4p in the diGamond sky

Stronger than you anDd I

I'm a waveEm, IEsus4 break through the barrierG reef

Cut through the cDarbon sea, approaching the sD/Chore

EmLooEsus4k at the sky, look at the trees, man, it's all the same tGo me

Look at the cars, look at the birds and all of these invented words D

One body's dying breath is another's birth

D/CWhat are you running from' What are you running from'

EmSisEsus4ter jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge G

Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands

DNo time for innocence, or sitting on the fence

D/CWhat are you gonna do' What are you gonna'

When the waveGs cover the coastaG/Fl plains

The tents and the carFs and the trains

And the tCrace of honey bees sanitaries G

Of well insulated dignitaries G/F

All screaming of the memFory of the human love

For anyCthing, or anyone

EmLooEsus4k at the birds, look at the bees, madam, it's all the same to me G

Look at the girls, look at the gold gathered, beat and bought and sold D

One man's innocence is another's chance

D/CWhat were you thinking of' What were you thinking of'

EmNowEsus4 please let me boil it down to thGis, my son

DThis party's getting wet, but it ain't over yet

D/CSo what is it gonna be' What is it gonna be' What is it gonna be'

Just leGt the waves cover the coaG/Fstal plains

The fear and guilFt and the pain

And the trCace of honey bee jealousy

GOf well insulated bigotry G/F

And if you don't aFgree

You better get back inside your Ccave

'cause we're all dancing with the Emwaves

Up in the diGamond sky

Stronger than you anDd I

I'm a waveD/C

I break through the barEmrier reef

Cut through the caGrbon sea

Memoir

AmThe city lights are beckoning

CThe sirens softly call

AmOf the fantasist and fetishists are Cpreparing the Fball

FWell you might as well be Eanyone's to Amtake

AmSo I give myself to strangers

FAnd in the orgy I can Cvaguely hear the Foutline of your Ccall

FWell I might as well be Eanyone's at Amall

AmEvery memory is sailing

CTo the kingdom of your soul

AmAs you patiently await and lose all Csense of self conFtrol

FYou were the lighthouse to my Cbroken boat

FBut I've left you beChind

FNow I might as well be Eanyone's to Amfind

CTake my Fmbody

CTake it Fmfrom me

CIt is not Fmworthy

COf your Fmmemory

AmI remember you undressing

CAs I sat myself on fire

AmAnd the funeral was quick as I lay Clifeless on your Fpyre

FWell it's a kind of despeCration

FAnd it's just something you can't Cfake

FOh I might as well be Eanyone's to Amtake

AmSo I give myself to strangers

Nothing Arrived

Key: GMedium

Savanna Gscatters and the Amseabird Emsings C

So why should we Gfear what Amtravel Embrings? C

What were we Ghoping to get Amout of Emthis? C

Some kind of Gmomen-Amtary Embliss? C

I waited for GSomething, and AmSomething Emdied C

So I waited for GNothing, and AmNothing Emarrived C

It's our dearest Gally, it's our Amclosest Emfriend C

It's our Gdarkest blackout, it's our Amfinal Emend C

My dear sweet GNothing, let's Amstart a Emnew C

From Ghere all in is just Amme and Emyou C

I waited for GSomething and AmSomething Emdied C

So I waited for GNothing, and AmNothing arEmrived C

Well I guess it's Cover, I guess it's beEmgun G

It's a losers' Ctable, but we've already Emwon G

It's a funny baCttle, it's a constant Emgame G

I guess I was Cbusy when Nothing Emcame G

I guess I was Cbusy (when Nothing Emarrived)

DI waited for Something and Something died

So I waited for Nothing, and Nothing arrived

I waited for Something and Something died

So I waited for Nothing, and Nothing arrived
