Chorus:
Gm
I like pleasure spiked with pain and
C7
Music is my aeroplane
Gm           C7
It's my aeroplane
Gm
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and
C7
Music is my aeroplane
Gm           C7
It's my aeroplane
                 Gm      C7
Pleasure spiked with pain
                       Gm                  C7
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain

   Gm7                  C7
A looking in my own eyes, hello
Gm7                    C7
I can find the love I want
Gm7                   C7
Someone better slap me
                  Gm7
Before I start to rust
                   C7
Before I start to decompose
Gm7                     C7
Looking in my rearview mirror
Gm7                     C7
Looking in my rearview mirror
Gm7                    C7 Gm7
I can make it disappear
                    C7
I can make it disappear, have no fear

Chorus

Sitting in my kitchen, hey girl
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of Mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad, sad like me

Chorus:
Gm
I like pleasure spiked with pain and
C7
Music is my aeroplane
Gm           C7
It's my aeroplane
Gm
Songbird sweet and sour Jane and
C7
Music is my aeroplane
Gm           C7
It's my aeroplane
           D#           F Gm
Pleasure spiked with pain

D#
Just one note
       F
Could make me float
       Gm
Could make me float away

One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay

Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's
Not a lie

Just one note
Could cut my throat
One note could make me die

Chorus
