Tom: D A More than anything Is it happiness? It's so impossible That you can't touch it Even when it's close to you Or is it emptiness? It's still so probable That you're too scared To even reach for it Is it happiness? It's so impossible That you can't touch it Even when it's close to you Or is it emptiness? It's still so probable That you're too scared To even reach for it You can't pretend that's what this is about The feeling's gone but the album just came out And even though there is no meaning now You can't stop singing, can't stop singing Well here's the book i stole it from I'll read you it the entire time There's still nothing to say And i can say with confidence There's a hundred bands inside That's how it's important A But it never was A D It's the feeling that creeps in when it is played A D And you pull the van to the side of the interstate A you lay on the roof, the stars hang above G And you wonder what they'd look like if you were in love Well tonight i can stay with the sound of the amplifiers Filling up the emptiness with their distortion I can see the kids that are crying put their mouth on a pacifier A microphone, a memory and emotion And there's people at the bar they seem more like statues The specialists they listen to the first band And i'm looking for a payphone and a familier voice I need someone who understands I need someone who understands I need someone who understands That this isn't how i wanted it to be
