C7*
                        C7* E
For Chrissakes, Charley
                     C#7*
Send them your love
                             C#7* C7*
Pictures from happier times
                              E
When babies acted like babies
                     C#7*
So did the grown-ups
                                   Fmaj7*
The band played "We All Fall Down"
                E
And some of us did...


E F#7* A*    -x8-

  E   F#7     A*   E F#7* A*
Fly off the wheel
  E   F#7   A*     E F#7* A*
Travel highwired
           E   F#7   A*         E F#7* A*
There are movements necessary
              E   F#7      A*   E F#7* A*
Then there is unnecessary motion
           E   F#7  A*          E F#7* A*
It happens all the time
         E   F#7 A*             E F#7* A*
You can see it swim

         Bb        A
In the skin parade
         C         Bb
In the skin parade


E F#7* A*    -x4-

  E   F#7   A*            E   F#7* A*
Where other objects move too
 E   F#7  A*      E F#7* A*
Right through you

       Bb         A
To the other side
       C
It is come alive!
       E   F#7   A*
It is come alive


E F#7* A*
         E   F#7* A*     E F#7* A*       
In the skin parade
        E   F#7  A*      E F#7* A*
In the parade of skin
 E      F#7*      A*     E F#7* A*
Celebrating this level
        E   F#7* A*      E F#7* A*
Of concrete movement
      E F#7* A*          E F#7* A*
Wicked!
