1. YOU MUST BE OUT OF
YOUR MIND
INTRO: F:133211 C:032010 Bb:113331 F
F
Bb C
F C Bb F
You think I'll run, not walk, to you
F Bb
C F
Why would I want to talk to you?
Gm:355333 Bb
I want you crawling back to me
F C
Down on your knees, yeah
Gm Bb
Like an appendectomy
C
Sans anesthesia
F
C Dm:x00231 Bb
If you think you can leave the past behind
F C
Bb F
You must be out of your mind
F
C Dm Bb
If you think you can simply press rewind
F C
Bb
You must be out of your mind, son
F C
Bb F
You must be out of your mind
You want what you turned off turned on
You call it sunset, now it's dawn
You can't go round just saying stuff
Because it's pretty
And I no longer drink enough
To think you're witty...
You want to kindle that old flame
I don't remember your real name
It must be something scandalous
Lurks in your shallows
If you need a Santa Claus
To buy your gallows...
2. INTERLUDE
A:002220 D:x00232 A
The moon-blue rays of magical light

Festoon her face this beautiful night
Bm:224432 D A E:022100
The moon her only lover
Bm D
A E
But soon even that will be over
A A6:002222
So they climb high
002224 A6
In the violet sky
E Eadd9:022102
E Eadd9
And they dance
E Eadd9
And he'll whisper
E
Eadd9
All his mysteries to her
A A6 002224 A6
As they dance
Bm
He will fall
D
In love,
A E
Poor fellow
Bm
Just when all
D
Above
A E
Turns yellow
E
A
And the dawn breaks his heart...

4. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
SAY
C:032010 Dm:x00231
I don't know what to say
Em:022000 F:133211
I don't know what to say
Dm
I could say I want you,
Em F G:320033
That would be a bore
Maybe in a font you
Haven't seen before
I could say I'll haunt you
Till your dying day
I could tease and taunt you,
But what would I say?
See, I don't know what to say...
I could say I crave you
Still, you little brat,
I could rant and rave, you
Know I can do that
I could say I gave you
Everything I had
I could say I'll save you
You might think me mad
So I don't know what to say...
I could try and lead you
Down the garden path
I could say I'll feed you
You can do the math
I could say I need you
Offer you a ring
I'll be guaranteed you
Don't believe a thing...
I could try and shove you
Off the nearest cliff
I could say I lo...
5. THE DOLLS' TEA PARTY
NOTE: The recording uses some odd instrumental counterpoint,
so these chords were picked to best complement the vocal melody.
B:224442 F#:133211 E:022100
F#
At the dolls' tea party we fritter away
E F#
E F#
The long afternoon of a warm summer day
B F#
E F#
With extended pinkies and pink cloisonné
E F#
E F#
Cups and saucers and pots and a Liberty tray
B F#
E F#
That's why we take our tea
B F#
E F#
At the dolls' tea party
At the dolls' tea party we twitter along
We prattle and tattle on who's done whom wrong
On who's in, who's out, and who's best at mah-jongg
Oh, and where to buy fabulous things for a song
That's why we take our tea
At the dolls' tea party
Em:022000
But the cakes!
Ah, the cakes are why
D:x00232
Everyone's there
C:032010 B:224442
They're not dietetic in any way
Dare
B F#
E
F#
To try one and you'll have a few pounds to spare
E
Try another one
F# E F#
What do you care?
At the dolls' we're all in our glittering best
There will be a test
On who's best
And worst dressed
But we won't have it said we're fashion-obsessed
We're just prettier ladies than most of the rest
That's why we take our tea
At the dolls' tea party.

Dsus D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus

Put down the book, pick beer up
Why sit in your dark and lonely room?
Must your every word be sincere?
Here's a vial of laughing gas perfume
See that people smile when you're near
If they don't like you screw them
Don't leave your fortune to them
Nein, vielleicht ist Alles nicht ein Traum
Ist Alles ein Albtraum? Nicht, nicht!
Alles ist ein großer Tannenbaum
Rotierend im Weltraumgeschichte
La la la la la la la

Everyone's awaiting Sandy

7. WALK A LONELY ROAD
D:x00232 C:032010
When I was a little boy
F:133211 C G:320033
Way out in the wood
D C
I had neither friend nor toy
F C A:002220
Never knew I could
A G
D
When I found this lonely road
G D C
Off I walked for good
D C
When I was a little boy
F C G
Way out in the wood
Walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you
Half as lonely we will be
When we walk as two
If the road go straight uphill
We'll admire the view
Walk a lonely road with me
I will walk with you
When I was a little girl
On the lonesome plain
I had neither pal nor pearl
Mostly wind and rain
One day I set out along
A little winding lane
When I was a little girl
On the lonesome plain...
8. ALWAYS ALREADY GONE
INTRO: A:002220 G:320033 D:x00232
F#m:244222
I tried hard to keep you
G
I needn't have tried
A

It seems you'd decided
A F#m
When did you decide?
F#m
So this is the last time
G
I cry in the dawn
A
G
It seems you were always
D A G
D
Always already gone
You never were happy
You had to be free
You took all the freedom
You needed from me
Then you and your freedom
Flew thither and yon
You're free to be always
Always already gone
I couldn't have dreamed you
But I might as well
You leave me with only
A story to tell
But at the beginning
Our story is done
Because you were always
Always already gone...
9. SEDUCED AND ABANDONED
G:320033 D:x00232 Em:022000
C:032010
Seduced and abandoned, and baby makes two,
C D C G
Baby, abandoned by you
G D
Em C
Seduced and abandoned, and what can I do?
C D
C G C G C G
I think I might drink a few
G
D
Seduced with a grin,
Em C
I was taken all in
C D
Taken in sin
C D
And in shame
G D
Seduced by a smile,
Em C
I walked down the aisle
C D
Then waited awhile;
C D
No one came...
Abandoned to weep
I collapsed in a heap,
Dutifully sleep-
ing all day
Abandoned to die
I did nothing but cry
In my one-ply
Negligee...
C
D C G
Yes, I think I might drink a few
C D
C G C G
And maybe the baby will too.
G:320033
On winter nights the mermaid sings,
"I was made for better things
F:133211
Better things, dearie,
G
Better things"
I early spring the ghost princess
Goes haunting in her pretty dress
Pretty dress, your majesty,
Pretty dress
G
And I have heard
The singing of real birds
C:032010
Not those absurd
Birds that simply everybody's heard
G
Real birds
In summer when the moon is full
The wolfboy is adorable
Adorable, you're
Adorable
I have observed
The winging of real birds
Not those reserved
Birds that simply everyone's observed
Real birds.
D:x00232 A:002220 Bm:224432
I'm just a painted flower on silk brocade
A Bm A
G:320033
Left in the sun I will slowly fade
G A
D A
Fade to nothing like I'd never been made
G D A
Like I'd never been made
I'm just a painted flower, a frozen bloom
Left alone in some forgotten room
A fly in amber, I pose in my tomb
I pose in my tomb
I'm only drops of paint in a silver frame
Without an aim and without a name
Gathering dust, every day just the same
Every day just the same.
12. THE DADA POLKA
D:x00232
G:320033
People of Earth, when you dance
D
Dance the Dada Polka
Life is only a dream
D
G
When in the mood for romance
D
Dance the Dada Polka
Be as cute as you seem
G
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope
D
Freeze!
A:002220 G
Do something - anything -
D
Do something, please
People of Earth, don't just stand
There, the Dada Polka
Is as fun as it sounds
Move hips and hands when the band
Plays the Dada Polka
You may lose a few pounds
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope
Change!
Do something - anything -
Do something strange
People of Mars, you too must
Do the Dada Polka
It's the meaning of life
Fill any partner with lust?
Do the Dada Polka!
Soon there'll be a new wife
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope, do
Do something - anything -
Do something blue
Do something - anything -
Do something a little out of
character, it won't kill you
Do something - anything -
Do something true.
13. FROM A SINKING BOAT
A:002220
In the middle of the night,
E:022100
With a sickening sound
A
This little boat
E
Ran aground
The mast is twisted, the hull is breached
One high tide and it'll be beached
If I could walk, I'd walk away
But I haven't slept since yesterday
The ink is sinking, the page is blurred
And I can't read a single word
But know that I love you,
Know that I wrote
My last words to you
From a sinking boat.
