Way Beyond Blue

Lost cat in arthur street, black and white
If you go, i'll come without a fiiiiiiight
I'm sick of hearing damning words of you come cursing through my head
And i'm too proud to sit here,chasing time, wasting things we shared,
Or thought we had.
You said, i'm you digging a home
Truth is, you left a long time agoooooooo
But you can turn it on and play the innocent, though you've been caught.
And i'm too proud to sit here, saying everything is how it was.
Never been this sure.
Take it from where you want to grow, there's always tomorrow.
I'd rather have you smile than have you fall, no matter where you go.
Ten men in trial of love succeed
All those in arthur street will walk freeee.
And you can turn it on and play at anything you ever wanted to.
Cos you're not dull and i'm not strong enough to carry on wondering
How we're gonna see this through.

Intro:
Chance dreams that cut across the bed, leaving colours there instead
See lines that draw it to an end - ignore them
And if i say how i feel again, is it wise to do it?
Or like hearing for the umpteenth time, some despise
Don't you fall asleep there's lots of things i need to say that just won't keep
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?
And when i least expect them to they'll devour me
Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to
Hide
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
(and with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, i should have told you (ah ah)
(and when i least expect them to they'll devour me)

Intro:

You should know by now that the common thread is taut
I'd like to stay but you just won't listen
Disappointment i'd take though there's no point to it
I blew it
If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change
If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change
As tests go wrong and we deny it together
Or a second of thought might ache forever
I blew it i blew it i blew it
But did you ever go too far up against your own persuasion
Consummate madness then despise
You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut
You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut
It's hard to reflect when your world is sighing
You could never catch up and there's no use trying
I blew it i blew it i blew it
And if the gods were on your side i couldn't let you slide
(i blew it) (i blew it)
And if the gods were on your side i couldn't let you slide
(i blew it) (i blew it)
You blow it you blew it i blew it

Fly, you greatest fool,
Why can't you say what they want you to?
Why can't you say what they want you to?
Why can't you do what they taught you
And show what they wanted of you?
Fly, you greatest fool,
Is this what everyone talked about?
You spill your high-flung phrases
And hush when the risk gets too much
And i, i wish you would do it,
Then i'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Then i'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Is this what everyone talked about?
Swallow everything that suits, dress it up as truth,

Swallow it all down
And i, i wish you would do it,

Then i'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
And i, i wish you would do it,
Then i'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Then i'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
So cold out here . . .

This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins
I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down

2nd verse (chords as above)
This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything

2nd chorus
'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'

La la la la la la la la
Mickey wishes he was dead, draws the sheet across his head
Never felt so alive
Moved him in to share the bed, turns out he's sharing her instead
Was it all worthwhile?
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in

Don't want you to go, just need you to know
Can't leave the house: he wouldn't dare, hang this guilty frame with stares
Naked in a fray
I'll be the shortest person there, oh god i'm losing all my hair
It won't suit my style
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
I don't want you to go, i just need you to know
I don't want you to go, i just need you to know
Do do do aa-aa-aa-aa-aah
She gave me nothing that i could bear to lose aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ah
And if he reaches for the door, be sure he'll touch the wood and pause
Ask me back for more
We'll still shove us down the stairs, still get in each other's hair
If there's any left then
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
I don't want you to go, i just need you to know
I don't want you to go, i just need you to know
Did you want him to go? did you push him to go where the ~~ girl lies
Where does the ~~ girl lie? why does she hide? why does she hide . . ? [ad
