MOTORPSYCHO: THE  NERVE  TATTOO

F#m          D                 A
It’s just an itch beneath the skin
                              D
I can’t get it out or seal it in
                     E
I can’t dislodge the need to scratch it
D                           E
screaming from it’s root

F#m     D               A
it’s an echo inside my head
          G#                D
a need to say what can’t be said
                 E
it’s the nerve tattoo,such a bad rash
F#m
spiteful and divine


          B
but thats OK
           A
it doesn’t matter anyway
           F#m
it’s still those with the least to say
             D        E  B  A  G#  F#m  D  E
that will be heard...

F#m     D            A
ah,the elloquence of trash
                      D
the persuasiveness of cash
                     E
rings true like the whispered lies 
           D
of half-forgotten lullabyes;

F#m         D                    A
designed to please ,designed to soothe
                                    D
designed to shift a million units or two
                 E                 F#m
designed to mean nothing at all for anyone

           B
but that’s OK.........etc


D                E
it’s no misunderstanding
G                      F#m
it’s all emptiness and words
           F
I’d cut my veins to paint it as
          E
beautifully meaningless-
                  A      C#m
picturesque and absurd
D                        C#m      A    D    C#m
....it’s a masterpiece I heard.
