Every single night

I endure the flight
C G7
Of little wings of white-flamed

Butterflies in my brain
 
These ideas of mine

Percolate the mind

Trickle down the spine
D7
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
C#7 Eb
That's when the pain comes in
G7 Ab
Like a second skeleton
C G7
Trying to fit beneath the skin
C G
I can't fit the feelins in
Am Ammaj7 Dsus2/A
Every single night's alright with my brain
 
C
What'd I say to her

What'd I say it to her
C
What does she think of me

That i'm not what I ought to be

That i'm what I try not to be

It's got to be somebody elese's fault

I can't get caught

If what I am is what I am, cause I does what I does

Then brother, get back, cause my breast's gonna bust open

The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk and

I just made a meal for us both to choke on

Every single night's a fight with my brain

I....just want to feel everything (4x)

So i'm gonna try to be still now
C G7
Gonna renounce the mill a little while and
C F6
If we had a double-king-sized bed
Eb7 D7
We could move in it and i'd soon forget
C#7 Eb
That what I am is what I am cause I does what I does
G7 Ab
And maybe i'd relax, let my breast shot bust open
C G7
My heart's made of parts of all that surround me
C G
And that's why the devil just can't get around me
Am Ammaj7 Am Ammaj7
Every single night's alright, every single night's a fight
Am Ammaj7 Dsus2/A
And every single fight's alright with my brain
