[Bm]Bound so close, so painful to watch
Its wet and I can't get a draw
It's weird out here on the highway at 4 a.m.
There's finally a lull that [G]wakes us up[Bm]

The path gets worn by the third tree line
Oh, what a beautiful stand
I get a bucket and a lie all ready for a guy
Who plows the land
And re[G]freshments for imaginary friends[Bm]
That are so [G]clear and safe back here[Bm]

[E]Undisguised, wide [G]open
Down the [E]lining of the l[G]ane
[E]I've already [G]got an indi[E]cation
The infor[G]mation's not the same[Bm]

The paper lies, I cover my eyes
I've lost my nerve for planning
I find it hard to think sometimes
To get excited about an excitable [G]thing
Is harder than you'd th[Bm]ink

And the path gets worn by the third tree line
Oh, what a beautiful stand
I get a bucket and a lie all ready for a guy
That I don't think will understand
Re[G]freshments for imaginary friends[Bm]
That are so [G]clear and safe back here[Bm]

Undisguised, wide open
Down the lining of the lane
While I've already got an indication
The information is not the same

I could've gone around the corner
On my bike to rent a movie, but I [G]didn't[Bm]
I could've gone down to the water
When I felt the rumble in[G]side
Cement ship goes [Bm]by
In[G]side.[Bm]..

Notes: Most of this song is just the Bm riff, with a G barre chord
thrown in the verse now and then, just strummed once and held. The
chorus uses normal (open) chords, and all the fancy stuff is done
by the lead guitar.
