Weird Tales

[f#]she came from a wealthy family
[b]there were walls inside the walls
[f#]she walked the widow's walk [b]so all alone
[f#]she watched from every window
[b]darkened every door
[f#]saw her reflection
In every [g#m]wave that hit the shore

[a]jane, why don't you [e]give a damn
[a]jane, why don't you [e]stay
[a]jane, why don't you [e]give a damn
[a]jane, why don't you [e]stay

Wandered off into the night
One eye closed, the other blind
Reading the silver side of signs
Don't worry it's to late
Some rain don't come down straight
Everything you had, you lost before

Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay

And when her scattered thoughts had died
The sand upon her feet had dried
Among chandeliers and sweet perfume

Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay

[f]lost love in the desert
Lost love on the [c]sea
If you can put it behind [gm]you
But it's still beyond [c]me
[f]'cause hearts break in the summer
And they meet me in the [c]spring
Broken hearts all around [gm]me
But i don't feel a [f]thing
[f]lost love on the highway
Lost love on the [c]phone
Lost love with a suit[gm]case
Heading back [c]home
[f]where hearts break in the summer
When they meet in the [c]spring
Mines still wrapped inside [gm]me
But i don't feel a [f]thing
[dm]you're my lost love, i can't [f]see
That you're coming back for [dm]me
You're the travel i can't [c]find
And it's only a matter of [bb]time
Should've taken it all so [gm]hard
Should've taken it all so [c]hard
My lost love ...

Verse one:
[a]blowing through my [b]losing streak
[e]bought the farm on a [a]dead-end street
[a]nothing ever [b]grows under your [e]sun
[a]filling voids with [b]emptiness
[e]driving past your [a]old address
[a]loneliness: [b]two has turned to [e]one

Chorus i:
[f#m] they welcome you with [b]broken arms
[e]tell you they don't [a]mean no harm
[a] do they mean [b]anything at [e]all?

Verse two:
Feeling crowded by my company
You can't hate but parts of me
I know there's a new myth on your floor
Staying up in 409
The days are yours, the nights are mine
Burned out everything except your door

Chorus ii:
It's like breaking out of broken homes
They tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own
To call my own

Repeat intro

Verse three:
There's a gold mine in the local scene
Get nine lives, need thirteen
Paid the price, landed on all fours

Chorus iii:
You used to mean the world to me
Scared to death of what that means
So it don't mean nothing at all
I welcomed you with broken arms
You know i don't mean no harm
Do i mean anything at all?
Repeat intro [x2]

Chorus iv:
They all come from broken homes
Tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own

Verse one:
[c] if we were just a [g]little smarter
[dm] wouldn't be such [g]fire starters
[c] then you wouldn't [g]have to put me [dm]out [g]
[c] if times were just a [g]little kinder
[dm]carry you as a [g]reminder
[c]as is, you [g]say you've got some [dm]doubts [g]

Chorus i:
[dm] you say you're looking [g]through me
[c]you don't [c/b]like what you [am]see
But i [dm]swear
It's [g]only reflections on [fm]me
[ c | g | dm | g ]

Verse two:
Seeing through a two-way mirror
Looking back it's all a little clearer
Or just the line-up of your life
All day long you put 'em through their paces
Late at night haunted by their faces
Darkness fades into the morning light

Chorus ii:
You say you're looking through me
Scared of the things that you see
But i swear
It's only reflections on me

Bridge:
[bb]one more time for old times
Come with [f]me
Just [bb]one last time for all times
[dm]seeing you just the [g]same way
Different[c]ly [ csus4 | c ]

Verse three:
Could have been a little smarter
Shouldn't have been such fire starters
Fires they always burn out

Repeat chorus ii

Verse 1
The wheels are spinning inside of my head

It's a stab in the dark

Verse 2
The moral night is the darkest night
The moral night is the darkest night

It's a stab in the dark

[g#m]tumbled and stumbled to the ground and [am]died

The leaves listen to what i say
The leaves listen to what i say
They don't know, they don't know
I cut my feet on the white shell road
I cut my feet on the white shell road
They don't know, they don't know
It's a stab in the dark

The light slept on the riverbed
The light slept on the riverbed
Slipped into the shadows
And landed like a figurehead

They don't know ...

It's a stab in the dark
