Chorus:
A — E — E — A —
Everything right is wrong again, just like in the long long trailer
A A#dim — D
all the dishes got broken, the car kept driving
Bm — E — — —
and nobody would stop to save her
1.
|: A E D —
Wake me when it’s over, touch my face
A — D E
tell me every word has been erased
A — D —
don’t you want to know the reason why the cupboard’s
A — D E 😐
not appealing — don’t you get the feeling
That everything that’s right is wrong again
you’re a weasel overcome with dinge
weasel overcome but not before the damage
done — the healing doesn’t stop the feeling that
(Chorus)
|: D — E A 😐
And now this song is over now
and now this song is over now
and now this song is over now
D E A —
this song is over now
(half tempo)
A — E —
Everything right is wrong again
E A A#dim — D
every movement false, every four is waltz again
D — E —
every five and dime’s been gained and spent
A E D —
Tell me that you like my float upstream
A — D E
draw the line dividing laugh and scream
A — D —
you know everything that I know, so I know you’ve
A — D E
heard the voice that makes the silent noise that says that
(original tempo)
Everything that’s right is wrong again
you’re a weasel overcome with dinge
weasel overcome but not before the damage
done — the healing doesn’t stop the feeling that
(Chorus)
And now this song is over now
this song is over now
