Tom: Em
F#m
When you were nine
E
They said he had
A
Lost his mind
D
You have learned
F#m
Way too soon
E A
You should never trust the pantaloon
D
You are tired
A
You are hurt
F#m
A moth ate through
E
Your favorite shirt
D A
And all your friends fertilize
F#m
The ground you walk
C#m D A
Lose your mind
A D
II. I'm never what I like,
F#m E
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
A D
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
F#m E
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside my mind.

VI. Hello
G/F#
We haven't talked in quite some time
Em
I know
C
I haven't been the best
G
Of sons
Hello
I've been traveling in
G/F#
The desert of my mind
Em
And I
C
Haven't found a drop
G
I try desperately to run through the sand
G/F#
As I hold the water
In the palm of my hand
Em
Cause it's all that I have
And it's all that I need and
C
The waves of the water
Mean nothing to me
G
But I try my best
And all that I can to
G/F#
Hold tightly onto
What's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how
How tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down
And the water will drain
G
I'm just being dramatic
In fact,
G/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to the wind
Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
G/F#
As a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy
Em
Suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying
You hear me screaming
C
Father
And I'm lying here just crying
G
So wash me with your water
