C G A
My name is Jonas
F C
I'm carrying the wheel
C G A
Thanks for all you've shown us
F C G A F
But this is how we feel
C G
Come sit next to me
A F
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it
C A G
The choo-choo train left right on time
C A G
A ticket cost only your mind
C A G
The driver said "hey man we go all the way"
C A G
Of course we were willing to pay
My name is Wepeel
I gotta box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
and you know what else?
Guess what I received
in the mail today
Words of deep concern
from my little brother
The building's not going as it's planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math
The worker's are going home
C
Solo: (Note: I don't think is near being right)

The world has turned and left me here
G D/A B C
Just where I was before you appeared
G D/A B C
and in your place an empty space
G D/A B C
Has filled the void behind my face
Em C A
I just made love to your sweet memory
C/G
one thousand times in my head
Em C A
you said you loved it more than ever
C/G
you said
B C
You remain, turned away
B C D/A
turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
just where I was before you appeared
and in your place an empty space
has filled the void behind my face
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
and you just listened
you laughed enchanted by my intellect
or maybe you didn't
You remain, turned away
turning further every day

and so it seems
only in dreams
You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says "hey baby,
I just might take the chance"
You say "It's a good thing
that you float in the air
that way there's no way
I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces."
