It's Okay that you forget
 
       Cm                   Bm        D
It's alright that you don't want to remember

G                          Em                    Cm                   In
your hands you've got a martyr's head in your mind

              Bm       D
I know that's what you wish you were


Chorus:
C                D                    G         Em
Turn my blue sky black, you're such a hard luck baby

C      D                 Bm       Em  D
That's what's the matter with you

C                         D
But I could sleep through this


Verse 2:
I am as mystified as I am in it
If that's your ride, well then you ought to get it
It's just as if I wasn't dreaming.  
It's all the same, 'cause I still wake up screaming

Chorus:
Turn my blue sky black, you're such a hard luck baby
That's what's the matter with you
But I could sleep through this

Bridge:

Am G        F     (E bass?    D      Em
   You're a pilgrim in the boxcar

Am G        F      (E bass?)  D      E
   You can never look back too far

Am G         F    D    Bm 
   You can't ever look back

C                D                    G         Em

C      D                 Bm       Em  D
That's what's the matter with you
