The Baby Screams

----------------

Dm C F C/G

Heaven

Give me a sign

Waiting for the sun to shine

Pleasure fills up my dreams

And I love it

Like a baby screams

Its so useless

How can you be proud

When you're sinking into the ground

Into the ground fills up my dreams

And I love it

Like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said

Take it all

And strike me

Strike me dead

Waiting again

Waiting

Like I waited before

Waiting again

Waiting here for nothing at all

Heaven fills up my dreams

And I love it

Like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said

Couldn't ever let it end

Take it all

Take it all

And strike me dead

Heaven

Heaven

Close to Me

-----------

B

I've waited hours for this

B

I've made myself so sick

G#m F# F#/E

I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought that this day would end

I never thought that tonight could ever be

This close to me

Just try to see in the dark

Just try to make it work

To feel the fear before you're here

I make the shapes come much too close

I pull my eyes out

Hold my breath

And wait until I shake

E E B B

E

But if I had your faith

E B B

Then I could make it safe and clean

E

If only I was sure

E B B

That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought that this day would end

I never thought that tonight could ever be

This close to me

But if I had your face

I could make it safe and clean

If only I was sure

That my head on the door

Was a dream

A Night Like This

-----------------

F#m D

Say goodbye on a night like this

B D

If it's the last thing we ever do

You never looked as lost as this

Sometimes it doesn't even look like you

It goes dark

It goes darker still

Please stay

But I watch you like I'm made of stone

As you walk away

C#m Bm

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night

C#m Bm

A witch hunt for another girl

C#m Bm

For always and ever is always for you

G#m E

Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing

F#m D B D

I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today

Say it everytime you move

The way that you look at me now

Makes me wish I was you

It goes deep

It goes deeper still

This touch

And the smile and the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night

Can't stand here like this anymore

For always and ever is always for you

I want it to be perfect

Like before

D Bm F#m F#m F#m/G# F#m/A

Oh oh oh I want to change it all

D Bm F#m

Oh Oh Oh I want to change

This is the keyboard part written for guitar. You could use it as an intro.

Screw

-----

The guitar riff is quite simple

and it oscillates between strings (if there is such a thing).

The basic riff is:

E ----------------------------------------|
B ----------------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------5--|
E --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----|

There is also a part in the song where the riff changes, it goes unto a

different string like this:

E ----------------------------------------|
B ----------------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------------|
D -------------------------------------5--|
A --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----|
E ----------------------------------------|

There is also another part of the song where the riff goes on the D string,

which I will not get into at this time as you may see the point of this.

And that is basically it.

Screw

-----

When you screw up your eyes

When you screw up your face

When you throw out your arms

And keep changing your shape

Taste the taste in your mouth

Taste the taste on your tongue

On the film on your eyes of what I've become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?

What do I do when you screw up your face?

What do I do

When you throw out your arms

Fall on the floor

And keep changing your shape?

Jump right into your mouth?

Jump around on your tongue?

And the film on your eyes of the way I've become

Makes me sick at the way that I try

Anything in the world

To impress that I'm doing this

Only for you

Sinking

-------

Em

I am slowing down

Em

As the years go by

Em

I am sinking

Am C

So I trick myself

Am C

Like everybody else

The secrets I hide

Twist me inside

They make me weaker

Am C

So I trick myself

Am C

Like everybody else

G Em

I crouch in fear and wait

G Em

I'll never feel again

D

If only I could

C

If only I could

D

If only I could

C

remember

Em

Anything at all

The chords here are very basic and will need some filling in, e.g.

playing the bass line, or messing about with the top strings and using

different chord shapes.
