[Intro] Dm Bb A (x2)
Dm
And so around 3 AM,
A recently deceased man
Bb A
Found himself wound in the land of living again
Dm
Bound in a body,
Of gears and wheels but oddly
Bb A
He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend
Dm
The one sound he makes in fact
He streams radio broadcasts
Bb A
He plays a country station if you give him a pat
Dm
Our dearest Annabel is
Quite thrilled and ecstatic
Bb A
She has a friend who just was dead and yet she brought back
[Interlude] G D Em D
C G Bb C
G D
What may please does not content
Em D
All resolves but never ends
C G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you
D C D C
I have a dolly and we like to go on walks
D C G
We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk
D C D C
About the people and the places that I never got to see
D C G
‘Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me
G A G A G
We share a world, which is wonderful to see it's like a dream
A C
where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed
D C D C
I have a dolly it's like flowers in the spring
D C G
And but no matter how I talk to him he never says a thing
G D
What may please does not content
Em D
All resolves but never ends
C G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you
D C D C
I have a dolly and he goes with me outside
D C G
which used to be a problem for me, oh but now I never mind
D C D C
Ice cream and carriages I always thought were nice
D C G
But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life
G A G A
Annabelle no friends you must be brilliant and the best
G A A
You must be better and industrious, or you are worthless
D C D C
But now I have dolly a dear friend with whom I go
D C G
Out for walks and talks but he's mute and just plays the radio
D A
Elysium
Em F#m
The place the when your sorrows end
G D A
Why’d you bring me here again
D C D C
I have a dolly who can keep me company
D C G
We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me
D C D C
But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death
D C G
The only thing my father said is that one must be a success
G A G A
And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double
G A A
Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled
D C D C
I have a dolly, and he's very stabling,
D C G
If not a little just too distant, cause he never says a thing
G D
What you hold may wish to go
Em D
What you believe may not be so
C G
All that brings you piece of mind
Bb
May not stay for a long time
G D
What may please does not content
Em D
All resolves but never ends
C G
All that comforts is not true
Bb
All you love does not love you
C F
Can’t you speak to me?
C F
Won’t you speak to me?
C Am
All the things we could share and conceive
F
If you’d just speak to me
D A
Elysium
Em F#m
The place the when your sorrows end
G D
Why’d you bring me here
G D
Oh why'd you bring me here
G D A
Why'd you bring me here again?
