Heartburn

D                           G
I stare from behind the mirror
D                           G
I still can't feel a thing
D                           G
This house has been dead for years
D                           G
It doesn't mean anything
D                           G
The walls are soaked with indifference
D                           G
The rooms occuppied with despair
D                           G
The bed rocks in its own ignorance
F                           G
The windows just open and stare

D                           G
A climate of unhappy families
D                           G
All covered with dirt and with flies
D                           G
Breeding a hole for our secrets
D                           G
So we can watch them all grow into lies
D                           G
At the same time the room seems to mock you
D                           G
Parading your shadow of doubt
D                           G
They pray for our silent audience
F                           G
And beg for forgiveness without

D                           G
I dreamed for years before now
D                           G
I'd end up in a place like this
D                           G
Too scared in a room I refuse to call home

D                           G
I knew it would end like this
D                           G
I walk with a weight on my shoulders
D                           G
Of the promises that I broke
D                           G
To get rid of my guilty secrets
F                           G
Throw them down that same hole

D                           G
This house is a house of failure
D                           G
Of bitterness and remorse
D                           G
Of illness betrayal and torture
D                           G
It means nothing of course
D                           G
In the corner I swear I can hear
D                           G
The ghost of you screaming at me
D                           G
Questioning misplaced virtues
F                           G
And my infidelity

D                           G
And even though I did not doubt you
D                           G
No one said that you had to be right
D                           G
The lights in the air that surround me
D                           G
Could turn my day into night
D                           G
The company of the corpse here beside me
D                           G
Will haunt me forever like your screams
D                           G
Like everything else never leaves me alone
F                           G
From my waking house into my dreams
