C
Tenuous at best was all he had to say

                       Am
when pressed about the rest of it, the world that is

     C
From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to porto-centric Lisboans

      Am
Greek Cypriots and and Hobis-hots who hang around in ports a lot, uh-huh

But here's where things start getting weird

                                                 Am
While chinless men will scratch their beards, uh-huh

C
Tool their minds to sharpened axes

                          Am
Brush up on the Uralic syntaxes

Pre-Chorus:

G
Love of hate acts as an axis

G                             F
Love of hate acts as an axis, oh

                           C         Am
First it wanes and then it waxes

C C Am Am

Chorus:

C                    Am

C                 Am
Them you us plus eleven

                                G
Thank the heavens for their elasticity

               F                            C        Am
And that's for those who live and die by astronomy

When Coprophagia was writ, know when to stand know when to sit

    Who wants to look upon this

G                               Em
    Who wants to look upon this

G            Em
pray       tell

Chorus:

C                Am
Tenuousness less seven comes to three

C                 Am
Them you us plus eleven

                    D
Comes just shy of infinity

               Fmaj7                          C
And that's for those who live and die for numerology
