Crystallized

Intro: D 



Bm            A 
  The morning comes 
G          Em 
  TV still on 
D               A 
Wanna watch the cartoon 
         G 
starfish preach 
Bm        A 
Floating around 
G                 Em 
Try to touch back down 
D                A 
  But I'm moving further 
       G 
out of reach 


 
    D 
And now tonight you come 
               Bm 
to hear These splintered 
                   A 
stories Of all the years 
of bad choices It's 
  D 
becoming clear You can't 
           Bm 
escape the crowd of faces 
    A 
The ringing in your ears
 
D 
Time was holding out 
Laying on a busted couch 
Bm 
Searching for a phrase to 
         A 
send the lights back down 
          G 
When they turn away 
          Em 
when they disengage 



Bm     A    G 
  All alone when you get 
     Em   D 
back home Draw the curtains 
A              G 
up against the heat 
        Bm           A 
On your disconnected phone 
G                 Em 
  There's no dial tone 
D 
No one is calling 
A                G 
no one is coming near 


 
        D 
She was crystalized 
So indiscreet 
        Bm 
We were up all night 
         A 
Keyed up without fear 
    D 
All big ideas with 
nowhere to go 
   Bm 
So many plans 
   A 
No center hold 

D 
Looking back on all that now 
Wonder how we got out 
Bm 
We were just the lucky ones 
 A 
Scrape and scratch and heal 
        G 
back up Off the floor 
       Em 
Coming back for more 


Guitar Solo 
Bm A G Em D A G  x3 



          D 
Could you take it now 
          G 
with your shaking hands 
          D 
Could you tell me now 
           G 
that I can understand 
       Bm 
It was all a game I 
A                G 
never learned to play
