[Intro]
N.C.
"So long everything!" he shouted
N.C.
Then he ran next door to Margot's house
N.C.
"I'm moving," he said
N.C.
"Where?" asked Margot
N.C.
"Two weeks away," he said
N.C.
"Mitchell, where is that?" asked Margot
N.C.
"It's everywhere I will be after I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell,
N.C.
"I have lived in the same place for a long time, it is time for me to go someplace else"
N.C.
"No," said Margot, "You have only lived next door for fifteen years"
N.C.
"Sixteen," said Mitchell

G                                             C                                      F#
" I do not want to go wake up in the same old bed and eat breakfast in the same old kitchen.
                         B7                         E
Every room in my house is the same old room, because I have lived there too long"

[Verse 1]
          Am7         D
You turn on a spindle
                                G
You are so much looser now
                C
But you're not explaining how
F#7                     B7          E
You gained such new repose
                    Am              D7
I touch the clasp of your locket
             G
With its picture held
           C
Some secret you wouldn't tell
   F# F#7    B7               E
But let it choke your neck

[Verse 2]
              Am       D
So we imagine a darkness
                 G
Where all shapes divide
            C
Solids changing into light
   F#                   B7           E
With a burst of heat so bright
        Am             D           G                    C
Well fine, don't you do what I want you to
Am                 D                         G                 C
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
Am                             D                  G
Because you don't depend upon all the shit
          C            Am           C    G   D G
That I use to make my moods improve

[Interlude]
                                                                                                              B7                     B
"And you look at me and think, same old face, same old tail, same old scales, same old walk,
                  Bm
same old talk," said Margot
C#7                             B             G                                                B7
"No," said Mitchell, "I like your face, tail, scales, walk and talk. I like you"
                        D
"I like, like, like you"
    Bm    C#7                      B7         E
"I like, like, like you too," said Mitchell
N.C.
He walked through the door
N.C.
"I must pack," he said

[Verse 3]
              Am    D
Near a sea of pianos
                    G
There were waves of chords
C
That crashed against the shore
           F#             B7        E
In one huge and useless roar
                           Am                  D7
And there were girls bringing water
            G
Like a dream they came
                   C
To cool the fever of my brain
         F#              E   B7     E
And soothe my burning throat

[Verse 4]
                  Am               D
And they made me a necklace
                 G
Hanging beads of sweat
           C
On a string of my regrets
           F#            B7            E
And placed it around my neck
                                         Am        D            G                   C
And they were singing: "Don't you do what you've wanted to
Am                    D
Yeah, don't destroy yourself
                       G       C
Like those cowards do
Am                                     D
And maybe the sun keeps coming up
                                   G          C 
Because it has gotten used to you
                 Am   C      D          G
And your constant need for proof
