[Verse]
E5   E7M        B
The drum wakes up
E5   E7M     A
He'll have a real black eye this time
E5   E7M     B
Hungover dream
E5   E7M       A
He hung around too long last night
E5   E7M        B
The drum gets up
E5   E7M    A
How will he feel about this one?
E5   E7M          B
The dream throws up
E5   E7M     A
(He didn't feel too good this time.)


[Chorus]
E       B
He's got it all
E       A
He's got it figured out
E          B
Dream in the hall
E          A
Back in the hospital
E       B
I'm not concerned
E           A
He'll get it straight this time –
A         B
And if he doesn't, fuck it –

[Verse] (Palm Muted)
E5   E7M      B
The gun goes off
E5   E7M         A
He's always off about something
E5   E7M        B
The drum just nods
E5   E7M        A
The drum ain't listening at all
E5   E7M        B
The drum gets drunk
E5   E7M             A
The drum reads James Joyce in the drunk
E5   E7M         B
The dream falls down
E5   E7M         A
The drum's face breaks the dreams fall


[Chorus]
E     B
He don't have shit
E      A
He's learned to live with it
E         B
The drum's in debt –
E     A
You owe me don't forget –
E     B
That 20 bucks
E        A                  A         B
Interest and moral support – and if you don't I swear –

A           B            A        B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator
A                  B               A                 B
A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity
A           B            A        B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator
A                  B               A                 B
A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity
A           B            A        B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator
A                  B               A                 B
A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity
A           B            A        B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator
A                  B               A                 B
A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity

[Verse]
E5   E7M       B
The drum goes forth
E5   E7M       A
He's got his flag unfurled or something
E5   E7M        B
The drum won't stop
E5   E7M         A
The drum's a menace to the public


[Chorus]
E        B
Hold your drum high
E     A
The drum is stoned again
E        B
Don't wake him up
E        A
He'll just start talking
E      B
The drum is dead
E       A
Long live the drum
E      B
The drum is dead
E       A
Long live the drum
E      B
The drum is dead
E       A
Long live the drum
A                    B
And I - And I am his creator –
