From "Almost Killed Me"
"I always dream about a unified scene"
[A]Payne avenue lives up to its name some nights it's painful and strange.
[D]The whole city seemed sane in the day.
N.C.
But some nights it seems distressed and deranged.
[A]The east side is where we[F#m] met with those guys
that [C#m]said they'd get us high but that [D]changed.
Now they're [E]down in the basement.
They're ba[D]shing out his brains.

[A]St. Paul had it all when we called.
[D]They were maxing out on medicine.
[A]A shaved head. The blood on the bed.
[D]Those guys you'd recognize.
They had the s[E]ame tattoos as gideon.
[A]Strong stuff and she [F#m]had more than enough.
She was s[C#m]lumping over smiling and s[D]ailing off with cherubim.
the [E]cityscape skins are kinda [D]kicking it again.
[A]They're gonna show t[E]hese kids some discipline.
[F#m]Gideon's been living up in bay city, michigan.
N.C.
He's been workng at the michelin.
He got messed up with some messed up magicians.[E][E][E][E][F#m]
We got so highsome nights michigan looked just like a mitten
some nights we got fried.[E][E][E][E][F#m]
Strung out on residuals and visuals and laser shows.
Reach into the speaker and try to hold on to the quarter notes.
