Crosseyed and Painless — Talking Heads
Chords and lyrics for Crosseyed and Painless by Talking Heads (key of B).
Intro
[Bm]
Verse 1
Lost my [Bm]shape, trying to act casual
Can't [Bm]stop, I might end up in the hospital
Changing my [Bm]shape, I feel like an accident
They're [Bm]back to explain their experience
Chorus
Isn't it [Bm]weird? Looks too obscure to me
Wasting [Bm]away, that was the policy
Verse 2
I'm ready to [Bm]leave, I push the fact in front of me
Facts [Bm]lost, facts are never what they seem to be
There's nothing [Bm]there, no information left of any kind
Li-lifting my [Bm]head, lo-lo-looking for the danger signs
Chorus
There was a [Bm]line, there was a formula
Sharp as a [Bm]knife, facts cut a hole in us
There was a [Bm]line, there was a formula
Sharp as a [Bm]knife, facts cut a hole in us
Riff
[Bm]
Bridge
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
Chorus
The feeling [Bm]returns whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my [Bm]head, looking around inside
Verse 3
The island of [Bm]doubt, it's like a taste of medicine
Working by [Bm]hindsight, got the message from the oxygen
M-m-making a [Bm]list, find the cost of opportunity
Doing it [Bm]right, facts are useful in emergencies
Chorus
The feeling [Bm]returns, whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my [Bm]head, looking around inside
Verse 4
[Bm]Facts are simple and facts are straight
[Bm]Facts aren't lazy and facts aren't lame
[Bm]Facts don't come with points of view
[Bm]Facts don't do what I want them to
[Bm]Facts just twist the truth around
[Bm]Facts are living turned inside out
[Bm]Facts are getting the best of them
[Bm]Facts are nothing on the face of men
Outro
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
I'm [Bm]still waiting
I-I-I'm [Bm]still waiting
