Verse 
 
E 
Sharing smoke 
                         B 
In the stair up off the hot car lot 
    C#m7                   A                E 
The sun shined hard on the video spot, hmm 
E                        C#m9 (or C#m7) 
Sure as any living dream 
                F#m7         B 
It's not all of what it seems 
         A             B           E 
Then the whole thing's hauled away 
 
 
A 
You're holding old enough 
You're holding up 
                         C#m         B     A 
You're holding out your fabric now 
E 
Pair mine 
       B           A     E 
Pair mine 
 
Verse 
 
E 
Hallucinating Claire 
                           B 
Know the snow, shoe light of the autumns 
                              A 
I threw the meaning out the door 
                          E 
There ain't no meaning anymore 
 
 
A                      
You're holding empty old enough 
                          C#m       B    A 
You're holding out you're vaporize 
 
E              B    A    E 
Canonize, canonize 
 
Bridge 
Bm                        A  F#m11 
Motor up and yeah you're on 
Bm                      A    F#m11       E 
And yeah your own your own 
 
Verse
 
E 
Fold the map, and mend the gap 
                              C#m7no5 
And I told the word companion 
                    F#m7                       B 
And I make myself escape all the multitude of loving 
          A      B          E 
It comes always off the page 
 
 
  A 
I hold a note, you wrote a note 
                               C#m      B    A 
You've buried all your alimony butterflies 
 
     E         B      A      E 
So fine, Some night
