Besides She Said

C#m           G#m             F#
But who will know my secrets now
B    E        Em                D#m
Oh depart, disarm me with your blade
        G#m              E       G#m       E
Let me walk the masses trade in all serenity
  B
I suffer, you suffer in kindness
C#m        G#m             F#
There's a box to sober you up
             B           E         Em       D#m
When you're drunk on the memory of me, disease
      G#m        E          G#m    E
On a day like today of all days, remember
         B
I'm not dead, I just went away


[Chorus]
B
"Besides," she said outside the tent
          E
"They are playing out song"

We're bent, we're broke, we're leaning on each other
B
Duffled and drunk and the fumes billowing out
        E
And the city seems so distant, so goodnight

Goodnight


[Verse]

C#m              G#m           F#
Who'll phone the doc when I'm sick?
B            E            Em           D#m
Give in to grins, answer only patient questions
G#m         E                    G#m
I'm sick of answering, that's my sickness
B
Last of the garden gazers
C#m                       G#m      F#
You've been living in the past too long
      B      E              Em               D#m
It's unhealthy oh but it's safe child, it's safe
G#m            E
These are just fleeting moments
G#m               E              B
Pick the ones you like and hold on, hold on


[Chorus]

same as first until
        E
And the city seems so distant
      B
"And besides," she said
                              E
"We got time left, we're only half dead
                          B
We're only half dead," so goodnight
