{break: B / / / B / / / E / / / E7 / / /
the melody B on the B break is E n't too D/Dsus4 hard to pick out. The notes
are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird
that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
Hello my friend are you visible today?
And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange
Hello I'm sorry I lost myself

Of the l G ight of music
The vo C ice is talking somewhere in the ho G use
Late spring and you're dri C fting off to sleep
With your te D eth in your mouth

{Between the Em and Bm chords play this ----

T Em his is my mistake. L Bm et me make it good
I Em raised the wall, and I Bm will be the one to knock it d G own A
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
R Am each out for m C e and hold Am me tight. Hold that me C mory
Let Am my machine ta C lk to me. L Am et my machine t A alk to me G
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down

Spread your conscience overseas

I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I G can A7 swing my megaph C one and long arm the re Am st
It's ea Am sier and better
To just beat it from the che C st C
Of desire G
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life
(Untitled) - Pieces printed in the 1988 fan club holiday card
=============================================================
C This world is big and so-awake
G I stayed up late to C hear your voice
C This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you s G trong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
R.E.M.
