Lyrics:
-chorus-
I like pleasure spiked with pain
and music is my aeroplane
it's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
and music is my aeroplane
it's my aeroplane
pleasure spiked with pain
that motherfucker's always spiked with pain
Looking in my own eyes, hello
I can find the love I want
Someone better slap me
before I start to rust
before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear view mirror
Looking in my rear view mirror
I can make it disapear
I can make it disapear, have no fear
-repeat chorus-
Sitting in my kitchen
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
the star of mazy must
push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad
Saddle up me
-repeat chorus-
Just one note could make me float
could make me float away
One note from the song
she wrote could fuck me where I lay
Just one note could make me choke
one note that's not a lie
Just on enote could cut my throat
one note could make me die
-repeat chorus-

I worked this out yesterday--it's quite easy, actually.
Chorus part:
e--6--6--6--6--...----------6--6--6--6--...---------------
D--6--6--6--6--...----------5--5--5--5--...---------------
B--5--5--5--5--...----------5--5--5--5--...---------------
^ ^ ^ ^
I like pleasure... and music is my aeroplane.....
Verse part: (same chords, an octave higher.)
SM SM SM SM
e--18--18-18------18--18-18------18--18-18------18--18-18---
D--18--18-18------18--18-18------17--17-17------17--17-17---
B--17--17-17------17--17-17------17--17-17------17--17-17---
^ ^ ^ ^
The verse is more choppy or staccato, while the chorus is more smooth.
Listen to the CD for the correct rhythm. Now could a kind soul tab out
the solo? I'm working on it, but...
