Tom: A

G#5              A5                E5             B5
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
        G#5        A5         E5             B5
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?
              G#5              A5                E5             B5
I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
            G#5              A5              
Where'd you come from?     Where am I going?
            E5                B5
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for

E        E/C#
Waiting for you
G#m    B
All my sins

            F#m             A
I said that I would pay for them if I could
E          E/C#
come back to you
G#m        B           F#m
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

G#5              A5                E5             B5                                              
Every night these silohuettes appear above my head
        G#5              A5        E5             B5
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper
G#5           A5             E5           B5
Every time I fall asleep    Every time I dream
         G#5              A5                
"Did you come?  Would you lie?
            E5                  B5
Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for

Waiting for you

G#m    B
All my sins...

            F#m             A
I said that I would pay for them if I could

E          E/C#
come back to you

G#m        B           F#m
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
                                     * (w/ fill 3)
Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book
Suck my blood   break my nerve   offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
I'll only stand here

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
