N.C.
"So long everything!" he shouted

Then he ran next door to Margot's house

"I'm moving," he said

"Where?" asked Margot
N.C.
"Two weeks away," he said

"Mitchell, where is that?" asked Margot

"It's everywhere I will be after I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell,

"I have lived in the same place for a long time, it is time for me to go someplace else"
N.C.
"No," said Margot, "You have only lived next door for fifteen years"

"Sixteen," said Mitchell
N.C.                                                                   Am
"Fifteen, sixteen. What's the difference?" said Margot, "I want you to stay next door forever"
D9/F#
"I can't," said Mitchell,
G                              C                        F#7
"I do not want to go wake up in the same old bed and eat breakfast in the same old kitchen.
    B7sus        B7                   E
Every room in my house is the same old room, because I have lived there too long"

[Verse 1]
    Am        D9/F#
You turn on a spindle
                G
You are so much looser now
           C
But you're not explaining how
    F#7         B7sus B7   E
You gained such new   re - pose

[Verse 2]
            Am            D9/F#
I touch the clasp of your locket
         G
With its picture held
       C
Some secret you wouldn't tell
    F#7    B7sus B7   E
But let it choke your neck

[Verse 3]
       Am       D9/F#
So we imagine a darkness
          G
Where all shapes divide
       C
Solids changing into light
       F#7      B7sus B7 E
With a burst of heat  so bright

[Chorus]
           Am        Dmaj7     Gadd11    C
Well fine, don't you do what I want you to
    Am        D7                 G          C
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
Am                   D7            G         C
Because you don't depend upon all the shit I use
   Am   C  D7/B  D7   G
To make my moods im - prove

[Interlude]
                                            G                           B7
"And you look at me and think, same old face, same old tail, same old scales, same old walk,
         C#7
same old talk," said Margot
B7           D7/A                      G                           B7
"No," said Mitchell, "I like your face, tail, scales, walk and talk. I like you"
            C#7           Fdim          B7
"I like...I like... like, like you too," said Mitchell
E
  He walked through the door, "I must pack," he said

[Verse 4]
       Am       D9/F#
Near a sea of pianos
           G
There were waves of chords
     C
That crashed against the shore
       F#7      B7sus  B7   E
In one huge and use -  less roar

[Verse 5]
               Am             D9/F#
And there were girls bringing water
       G
Like a dream they came
            C
To cool the fever of my brain
    F#7       B7sus  B7  E
And soothe my burn - ing throat

[Verse 6]
         Am        D9/F#
And they made me a necklace
        G
Hanging beads of sweat
     C
On a string of my regrets
    F#7        B7sus B7 E
And placed it around my neck

[Chorus]
                      Am        D7              Gadd11 C
And they were singing: "Don't you do what you've wanted to
Am              D7
  Yeah, don't destroy yourself
              G     C
Like those cowards do
Am                       D7
  And maybe the sun keeps coming up
                     G       C
Because it has gotten used to you
         Am    C     D7 (no3) D7  G
And your con - stant need     for proof
G
