Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

D C G D C G
[Verse 1]
A
Everything is rags
Em
And there's nobody to blame but me
A
And it would be so easy
Em
If there was no one to hurt but me
D
But now everything that I do
C
Comin' out of me
G
Will just tear through you
D
In and out of you
C
Up and down your life
G
Like a curse
[Verse 2]
A
Cast by the only son of rags
Em
Who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters
A
But he wanted nothin'
Em
more my loved one than to wrap you up in joy
D
But it never be with me
C
- you and I are like
G
Two worlds
D
Not meant to collide
C
Death to each other
G
In the unravelling of time
[Verse 3]
So Tell me
A
How do you, how do you, how do you
Em
How do you like it?
A
What kind of, what kind of, what kind of dream
Em
Would you call it.
D
To have one foot in Eden
C
One foot in Hell
G
To be always numb
D
Plagued by demons
C
Summoned by Angels
At the same time
G
Endlessly
[Verse 4]
A
But I will burn me
Em
Right out of this place
A
I will lay you down to sleep
Em
So when you wake
I'll be gone
D
And You
C
Will remember
G
Nothing
D
You
C
Will remember
G
Nothing
