Title: When I Dream Of Michelangelo
Email: rainking@email.it
Intro: G - D - C (x4)
Well, you [G]know i don't like you but you [D]wanna be my [C]friend
There are bodies on the [D]ceiling and they're [C]fluttering their [G]wings
(G) D C
It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand
When you dream of [D]Michelangelo they [C]hang above your [G]hands
And i [Am]know that she is not my [D]friend
And i [Am]know cause there she goes [C]walking on my [D]skin again
And i [G]can't see why you [D]wanna talk to [C]me
When your vision of [D]America is [C]crystalline and [G]clean
(G) D C
I want a white bread life, just something ignorant and plain
But from the walls of [D]Michelangelo i'm [C]dangling [G]again
And i [Am]know that she is not my [D]friend
And i [Am]know cause there she goes [C]walking on my [D]skin again and [G]again
[C]Saturn on a line...a [D]sun afire strings and wires to
[C]spin above my head and make it [G]right
But [C]any time you like you can [D]catch a sight of angel eyes
all [C]emptiness and [D]infinite
And i [G]dream of Michelangelo when i'm [D]lying in my [C]bed
I see God upon the [D]ceiling, i see [C]angels [G]overhead
(G) D C
And it seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as [D]close as we are [C]led to [G]understand
And i [Am]know that she is not my [D]friend
And i [Am]know cause there she goes [C]walking, walking, [D]walking
And i [Am]know that she is not my [D]friend
And i [Am]know cause there she goes [C]walking on my [D]skin again and [G]again
On my [C]mind...oh Lord [G]no...
Yes she's [C]walking on my [D]skin again and [G]again
