A E Well, you know i don't like you but you wanna D be my friend E There are bodies on the ceiling and they're D A fluttering their wings E D It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand E D When you dream of Michelangelo they hang A above your hands Chorus: Bm E And i know that she is not my friend Bm D And i know cause there she goes walking on E my skin again And I can’t why you’d want to talk to me When your vision of America is crystalline and clean I want a white bread life Just something ignorant and plain But from the walls of Michelangelo I’m dangling again Chorus: And I know that she is not my friend And I know cause there she goes Walking on my skin again and again D E Saturn on a line a sun afire strings and wires to D A spin above my head and make it right D E But any time you like you can catch a sight of angel eyes D E all emptiness and infinite And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed I see God upon the ceiling I see angels overhead And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand Chorus: And I know that she is not my friend And I know 'cause there she goes Walking on my skin again and again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
