[VERSE 1]
G          B    
Two headed boy
    G           B
All floating in glass
    G          B
The sun it has passed
         C            G 
Now it's blacker than black
      C                       D
I can hear as you tap on your jar


[CHORUS]
     C                            G
I am listening to he-ar where you are
     C                            G    G    G    G
I am listening to he-ar where you are


[VERSE 2]
G          B
Two headed boy
G             B
Put on Sunday shoes
    G               B        C        G
And dance round the room to accordion keys
         C                         D
With the needle that sings in your heart


[CHORUS]
         C                         G
Catching signals that sound in the dark
         C                         G
Catching signals that sound in the dark


[BRIDGE]
        D            C           
We will take off our clothes
                       G                   D               C
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
C                          
And when all is breaking 
G               D                C
Everything that you could keep inside
                             Am                      
Now you're eyes ain’t moving now 
                             D       D
They just lay there in their cloud-----


[VERSE 3]
G          B
Two headed boy
     G           B
With pulleys and weights
   G       B     C               G
Creating a radio played just for two
       C                             D
In the parlor with a moon across her face


[CHORUS]
    C                               G
And through the music he sweetly displays
       C                         G
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
             C                        
Made for his lover who's floating and 
Am                                D     D  C  C 
Choking with her hands across her face---------


[BRIDGE]
           G            D            C
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
                        G                  D               C
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
C                         
And when all is breaking 
G               D               C
Everything that you could keep inside
                             Am             
Now you're eyes ain't moving now 
                             D     D    D    D
They just lay there in their cloud------------

 
[VERSE 4]
G          B
Two headed boy
           G         B 
There's no reason to grieve 
    G              B                  C           G
The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
     C                              D
Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow


[CHORUS] 
           C                      G
And I will take you and leave you alone
         C                       G
Watching spirals of white softly flow


[OUTRO]
          C
Over your eyelids and all you did
                                       D    D
Will wait until the point when you let go-o-o
C                                   G
Dee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee
C                                   G
Dee dee dee dee dee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee
C                                   G
Dee dee dee dee dee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee
