The Gerbils


Tom: F#

C#
She's not here tonight

The twinkle in her eyes is gone
C#
And suddenly I find
                                   B
The twinkle in my eye has gone to sleep

And there I find
B
My childhood dreams and violent screams

Left so far behind
B                         
She brings me walnut pies and
C#
Places them on the window sill

To cool beside my heart
C#                                   C
That's icy cold and drying in the sun
B
Crying everyone
               C
Crying everyone

        C#
Twisted grooves you'll never fell

Something I don't know
C#
Stars we can't reveal
                               
Scabs that just aren't healing
B
Hands caress my face

Blistered from the wind
    B
And I will once again
                              
Be caught up in a sultry setting
C#
Swallowing my soul

Smoking in the afterglow

C#

C#                    
You're crackling too loud
B
It hit me  to the bone

You cut me to the bone
    B
You cut me to the bone
                                   C#
You cut me to the bone but I won't die
