Hitting the Keys

capo 6: Em, C, G, D

My mood effects the instrument
The beat will play when I'm feeling it
I'll hit the heads with a smile
And meanwhile
I hate the world and it's raining outside
Everything is gray and black, there's no sleeping tonight
All I feel is the weariness
and the piano reflects the dreariness

I'm hittin the keys
The sound of the strings floats through the room
When I get going, I won't stop soon
Cuz the hammers keep going and I'm on my role
I'm hittin the keys
The blaze of a fire floats to the moon
When I start playing, it's to my doom
Cuz the hammers keep going and I'm on my role
I'm hittin the keys

A world of black surrounding me
I sinking but this can't be a sea, it's too salty
I'll strum the strings when my face is red
And I drop dead
I can't think of anything else
Everyone is talking in Welsh
But when I feel the weariness
The piano reflects the dreariness


I'm hittin the keys
The sound of the strings floats through the room
When I get going, I won't stop soon
Cuz the hammers keep going and I'm on my role
I'm hittin the keys
The blaze of a fire floats to the moon
When I start playing, it's to my doom
Cuz the hammers keep going and I'm on my role
I'm hittin the keys

My uke is for when I miss you
And the mandolin plays without a tune
And the bass will drop when I'm feeling bored
But when I'm worn

I'm hitting the keys
The sound of the strings floats through the room
When I get going, I won't stop soon
Cuz the hammers keeping going and I'm on my role
I'm hitting the keys
The blaze of a fire floats to the moon
When I start playing, it's to my doom
Cuz the hammers keep going and I'm on my role
I'm hitting the keys

Oh I'm hitting the keys
I'm hitting the keys
