Titus Andronicus - Stranded On My Own Chords

[Verse 1]

D            G        D
Crazy heart, where have you gone?
A                                     G       D
I thought that you and me were really getting along
D             G         D
Left alone to dread the dawn,
A                               G         D
Like some kind of science experiment gone wrong
                G      D
I could've made history
                   G      D
Now I've been made history
              G      D            G       D
Who knew that victory could be so slippery?
                           G    A
Cover the thick blood stains 
                           G    A
on your sick young brain
                           G    A
Just take your Ritalin 
                                    A
and then you can play the old hits again


[Verse 1]

D                 G         D
You explained the abyss away,
A                                       G        D
I can't listen when you say you're not missing me
D                     G         D     A
You kissed me in the blustering heat right there on the street,
                  G             D
With tears on my glistening cheek
G                        D                   G             D
Now, no one listens to me, they tell me I'm twisted and weak
G                          D                     G         D
I see that I was picked to be the picture in the dictionary
                           G         A
Look up, 'Addicted' that's me
                           G        A
Then look up, 'Wicked disease'
                            G        A
Then look up, 'Sick of Police'
                            G        A
Then look up, 'Victim' closely 

 
[Bridge 1]

A
I meet the mystery beast,
A
Same one my sister receives
A                                        G       D
He comes to burgeon and beat, demands me on both knees
A       
He will not admit defeat when he pricks, I'm gonna bleed
A              
and I can race fist or flee,
A             G          D
Soon shoutin' No, mister please!
                   G       A                           G   A
As he destroys the diseases as though Jesus could see us
                       G  A                          G    A
High up in the cathedral where an evil heart freezes
             G                    A                            G
And even the devil would start to believe when the man without equal
         A       D
from the pulp it preaches
 G         A                        D
You gotta believe can tell you the secrets


[Bridge 2]

A
Smiling through limitless rage
A
Violently neutered and caged
A
Stuffed with subliminal hate
A                                         G           D
Nothing but a puppet at play, crying in a beautiful place
                G     A                                   G   A
Another burial display on a man visible in a legal-ish space 
A
It's the usual way within a week of Wednesday 


[Outro]

      D            G        D
Crazy heart, where have you gone?
A                                     
I thought that you and me 
A                                     
I thought that you and me 
A                                     G       D
I thought that you and me were really getting along
