A7 A6 Dm9/A Em/A
'Love, just don't stare'
A7 A6
He used to say to me
Dm9/A Em/A
Every Sunday morning
A7 A6
The spider in the window
Dm9/A Em/A
The angel in the pool
A7 A6
The old man takes the poison
Dm9/A Em/A A
Now the widow makes the rules

'So speak, I'm right here'
A7
She used to say to me
A6/F# Dm9/A Em/G
Not a word, not a word
A9 A6add9
Judas on the ceiling
Aadd9(b13) Asus2
The Devil in my bed
A9 A6add9
I guess Easter's never coming
Aadd9(b13) Asus2 A6 Dm9/A Em/A Asus2
So I'll just wait inside my head
[Chorus]
Fmaj7#11
Like a scream but sort of silent
Aadd9
Living off my nightmares
D/A Dm/A C#5 B5 A5
Voices repeating me

"Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears."
D/A Dm/A C#5 B5 A5
Voices discussing me

"Others steal your thoughts
G5 G9
They're not confined within your mind."
[Post-Chorus]
E5 A5 G5 (x2)
[Verse 3]
Am
Thought disorder, dream control
Now they read my mind on the radio
F#m
But where was the Garden of Eden?
Am
I feel elated, I feel depressed
Sex is death, Death is sex
Em
Says it right here on my Crucifix
[Chorus]
Fmaj7#11
Like a scream but sort of silent
Aadd9
Living off my nightmares

They're not confined within your mind."

"You've got to know who you're

Dealin' with because, like a stranger
Am7
A-heh, just might come in through
Am7
Here with a gun... and then, what
Am7
Would you do? (Heh.)
Am7
Everything is immaterial
Am7
'n' you know that reality is immaterial
Asus2 A7 A6 Fmaj7#11/A
This is not reality
[Verse 4]
A5add9
I'm kneeling on the floor
A9/G
Staring at the wall
A6add9/F#
Like the spider in the window
Am9(b13)
I wish that I could speak
Asus2
Is there fantasy in refuge?
A7
God in politicians?
A6add9/F#
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

[Verse 5]
A5 A7
I'm lying here in bed
F#5
Swear my skin is inside out
F5 F5(b5)
Just another Sunday morning
F5 A5
Seen my diary on the newsstand
A7
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
F#5
It's a shame no one is praying
F5 F5(b5) F5
Cause these voices in my head keep saying
[Bridge 1]
A5 F5/A
"Love, just don't stare
C5 D5/A
Reveal the Word when you're supposed to"
B7/A
Withdrawn and introverted
E5/A
Infectiously perverted
F5/A
"Being laughed at and confused
Gsus4 G5 Gsus2 G5 A5 F(b5) Fmaj7#11
Keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay"
[Guitar Solo]
A A9 F#m7 Dm7/F (x3)
[Bridge 2]
A5
Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
A7
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
A6
Willing to risk Salvation
Am7
To escape from isolation
A5
I'm witness to redemption
A7
Heard you speak but never listened
A6
Can you rid me of my secrets?
Am7
Deliver us from Darkness?
[Chorus]

This neverworld which you desire

Is only in your mind
