Haunted Head

	  		
Intro: B F# E 

verse 1 
    B 
I'm up at six 
                                E 
I get a slice of bread, I cut a hole in it 
                            B 
I crack a little egg into a frying pan 
                                E 
and I try to get my mind turned off 
     B 
I'm naked now 
                                            E 
Because it doesn't really matter when the shades are down 

I was born this way I'll die this way 
  B                                             E 
I don't know how I'm ever gonna tell myself the truth 

 
C#m 
I live alone 
                           B     A 
A house without a heart is not a home 
                                      F# 
I think I may destroy these things I own 
                                     B   A 
I'm going back way back to black and red 
Inside my haunted head 


Instrumental: E B A 

verse 2 

          E 
I get the prayer shawl on 
                                   A 
I wrap myself in something that is way beyond 
                                     E 
anything my mind could get its dirty fingers on 
                                     A 
I'm going through the motions like a champ 
             E 
I take these aimless drives from two A.M. to four 
             A 
I live these secret lives 
                                E 
Identities that all die off not one survives 
                                 A 
By morning there's nobody at the wheel 

 
F#m 
I'm out on Lake Street now 
                                          E  D 
I'm coming to a red light but there's no one around 
                                    B 
The law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down 
                                       E   D 
It's talking in a language long since dead 
Inside my haunted head 


Instrumental: A E D 

verse 3 
           A 
I'm having too much fun 
                                 D 
My arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum 
I'm kneeling at the throne 
             A 
I'm stricken deaf and dumb 
                                     D 
I'm learning what it means to really pray 
             A 
Tried to get cute with pain 
I thought I could avoid it 
          D 
Thought I knew that game 
                                         A 
But just when you get the hang of it the rules all change 
                                            D 
and you're doing time for crimes that don't exist 

 
              Bm 
So I sit and wait 
                           A       G 
til I can finally see the sense it makes 
                                       E 
I know this sick world's bound to be explained 
                                  A    G 
So I'm hanging on if only by a thread 
Inside my haunted head 
D G 
(Haunted, ha-ha-haunted head)
