E                    A         E
the lite-brite's now black and white
         F#m                       C#m   
cos' you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Ab                 A*           /Ab
pitch burning on a shining sheet
F#m                     A    
the only maker that you wanna meet
C#m              A*     E
a dying man in a living room
F#m                    C#m
whose shadow paces the floor
Ab                     A*       /Ab
he'll take you out any open door

F#m            A

it's just a fond farewell to a friend
F#m               A

a fond farewell to a friend

good and evil match perfect, it's a great romance
Ab                       A*          /Ab
and i can deal with some phychic pain
F#m                   A
if it'll slow down my higher brain
C#m                A*      E
veins full of disappearing ink
F#m             C#m
vomiting in the kitchen sink
Ab                     A*          /Ab
disconnecting from the missing link

and taking up with the enemy
Ab                      A*       /Ab
the cold comfort of the inbetween
F#m                  A
a little less than a human being
C#m                  A*    E
a little less than a happy high
F#m                  C#m
a little less than a suicide
Ab                       A*          /Ab
the only things that you really tried
