R.E.M. - So Fast, So Numb: chords

D               F            C            G
You're movin' through rough waters motel boy,
D            F         C
and swimming in your sleep.
D         F         C        G
How could I be so blind, missighted,
 D                  F                 C
not to see there's something wounded deep?

Well, anyone could scratch your surface now
It's all amphetamine
You're blasting yourself into the present
To blur some past indignity, say that

F           G
You say that you hate it,
F            G
you want to re-create it

Chorus:
Em          C    G                D
I've been around, I've been your lover.
Em        C                F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
Em            C                  G
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
          D    C
that you can't even feel.

You're drinking raw adrenal, baby
And do-si-do, saddo
You're eating cartilage, shark eyes, shark heart, all present tense
And boy, your blood is running cold
Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me
This is what I wanted you to see
That was then, was that, that is gone, is passed
You cast yourself, cast passed by, thrown down fast

You say, you say that you hate it
You want to recreate it

Chorus

You love it. You hate it.
You want to re-create it.
Now, this is here, this is me,
This is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone.
That is what I wanted you to feel.

You love it. You hate it.
You spit it out, the bitter pill.

Chorus:
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel, woah
I've played this round, I've played your lover
I played it out to the hilt, woah
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
You've played around, you played me lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill, woah
You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
