            A                            E
Well, you know i don't like you but you wanna
        D
be my friend
                         E
There are bodies on the ceiling and they're
  D               A
fluttering their wings
                               E           D
It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand
                        E            D
When you dream of Michelangelo they hang
            A
above your hands

Chorus:
       Bm                       E
And i know that she is not my friend
       Bm                        D
And i know cause there she goes walking on
     E
my skin again

And I can’t why you’d want to talk to me
When your vision of America is crystalline
and clean
I want a white bread life
Just something ignorant and plain
But from the walls of Michelangelo
I’m dangling again

Chorus:
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again

 D                 E
Saturn on a line a sun afire strings and wires to
  D                             A
spin above my head and make it right
    D                          E
But any time you like you can catch
a sight of angel eyes
    D             E
all emptiness and infinite

And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying
in my bed
I see God upon the ceiling
I see angels overhead
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand
But we are never quite as close as we are
led to understand

Chorus:
And I know that she is not my friend
And I know 'cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again
