The Dresden Dolls


Tom: Dm

Dm                   Bb               F
Half underwater, I'm half my mother's daughter
Dm                         Bb
A fraction's left up to dispute
F  C  Dm
Aa Aa Aa
Dm                         Bb                   F
The whole collection, half of the price they're asking
Dm                            Bb
In the halfway house of ill repute
F  C  Dm
Aa Aa Aa
Dm    Bb F  C  Dm
Aa aa Aa Aa Aa Aa
                 Bb           F
Half accidental, half painful instrumental
Dm              Bb
I have a lot to think about
F  C  Dm
Aa Aa Aa
Dm                            Bb         F
You think they're joking? You have to go provoke him
Dm                         Bb
I guess it's high time you found out
F  C  F
Aa Aa Aa

F           C                         Bb           Dm
It's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
              Bb              F              C
You'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
Dm          Bb              F                     C                Dm
Long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back

I'm half Jill and half Jack
Dm    Bb F  C
Aa Aa Aa Aa Aa
Dm    Bb F  C
Aa Aa Aa Aa Aa

Dm                      Bb                F
Two halves are equal, a cross between two evils
Dm                   Bb
It's not an enviable lot
F  C  Dm
Aa Aa Aa
Dm                       Bb                F
But if you listen you'll learn to hear the difference
Dm                              Bb
Between the halves and the half knots
F  C  F
Aa Aa Aa

Dm                     Bb       A
When I let him, when I feel the stitches getting sicker
Bb                Dm                A
I try to wash him out but like they say, 'The blood is thicker'
Bb              Dm             A
I see my mother in my face but only when I travel
  Bb             Dm            A
I run as fast as I can run but Jack comes tumbling after
Bb           F                C             Dm     Bb       Dm
And when I'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
           Bb             F                C                   Dm
And I'm so high, not even you and all your love could bring me down
        Bb       F               C                    Dm
On 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact

         A
I'm half Jill and half Jack
Dm   Bb   F  C  Dm
Aaaa AaAa Aa Aa Aa
Dm   Bb   F  C  Dm
Aaaa AaAa Aa

Dm                         Bb               F
I'm halfway home now, half hoping for a showdown
Dm                                       Bb
'Cause I'm not big enough to house this crowd
F  C  Dm
Aa Aa Aa
Dm                           Bb          F
It might destroy me but I'd sacrifice my body
Dm                                Bb
If it meant I'd get the Jack part out
Bb C
Aa Aa
Dm                  Bb        F   C
See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, see Jack
Dm                  Bb        F   C
See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, see Jack
Dm                  Bb        F   C
See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, see Jack
Dm                  Bb        F   A     Dm
See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, run Jack, run
