Tom: Am
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I've never owned a camera, the pictures in my mind
G Dm
Instantly forgotten in the haste of passing time
Am
Put away your pedestal, hide your crystal ball
G Dm
If you find me out, please let me know, I'd love to get the call
[Chorus]
C E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
Am G6 D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C Fm C
Charades, charades, charades
Am
[Verse 2]
Am
Sunday driving on a Tuesday afternoon
G Dm
I remember days that could never end too soon
Am
Ice melts, flashes fade, the chill will make you ache
G Dm
For the quiet of sobriety, I prayed that it would stay
[Chorus]
C E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
Am G6 D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C Fm C
Charades, charades, charades
E
[Bridge]
Am
A dream of form
E
In days of thought
C D7
I sought to remain
Fm
But weary eyes
C
Make heavy hearts
E
That long to be chained
Am E Am E
[Verse 3]
Am
I think it was the record, but it sounded like the house
G Dm
If the music weren't so loud, you could hear me crying out
Am
Like two gut string guitars tuned a half step apart
G Dm
You can't tell me what you need and so, I give you what I want
[Chorus]
C E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
Am G6 D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C Fm Am G D7
Charades, charades, charades
C Fm C
Charades, charades, charades
