The Glutton of Sympathy Lyrics

Glutton of Sympathy
Chords by: Justin Makeig (makeig@nwu.edu)
tuned down a half step
In the breathless hush of four A.M.
In the dark sits a sad cliche
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over that this is the end
'Cause I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Such mournful words
On this white snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
That's when I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Tossing turning roll away
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Lifetime nighttime wake the day
'Cause tomorrow will see
If you've had your fill of sympathy
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
Don't you know the stars are all fading
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
"Glutton of Sympathy"
Chords by: ?
Capo up 2 frets
(acoustic guitar only)
In the breathless hush of four A.M.
In the dark sits a sad cliche
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again
(electric enters)
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over that this is the end
(band enters)
'Cause I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Such mournful words
On this white snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
That's when I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Tossing turning roll away
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Lifetime nighttime wake the day
'Cause tomorrow will see
If you've had your fill of sympathy
(guitar solo over "That's when I see it in your eyes..." progression)
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
Don't you know the stars are all fading
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
