This is one of my favourite eels songs, if not THE favourite. It's best done on
the acoustic, as it is done on the album.



C G F Dsus2
Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air

F Am 
And I was thinking how it must feel 
Em Dsus2
To see that little light 
F Am
And watch it as it dissapears
Em
And fades into 
G 
And fades into the night

C G F Dsus2
So I know you're going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue

F Am
Magic markers tattoo you
Em Dsus2
And show it where to aim
F Am
And stranger break their promises
Em
You won't feel any
G
You won't feel any pain.

C F
And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockings their horns 
To the race to the wire
F C G
Of the unfinished line

C G F Dsus2
Thought that I'd forget all about the past
But it doesn't let me run too fast

F Am
And I just want to stand outside 
Em Dsus2 
And know that this is right
F
And this is true
Am
And I will not
Em
Fade into
G
Fade into the night

C F
Standing her in the dark 

And that just about it.
