Verse 1:
G+G C majorC
I, I met you in the middle of a raincloud
D MajorD
I had just received the final blow, knockout
A minorAm G+G
You, my smelling salt by way the sea
G+G C majorC
Oh, it seemed, as though I'd finally re-attached this phantom limb
D MajorD
Twitching into place where it'd always been
A minorAm G+G
Pins and needles felt like cotton
Chorus:
A minorAm Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D#D#
Laugh because you know you're free for the time being
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
In the dark, I can find my way because I feel the sparks
D MajorD
Surging from your fingers just like kind remarks
A minorAm G+G
Telling me the day is coming soon
G+G C majorC
Would you be my Freia with her apples, or the seventh seal
D MajorD
Signalling the rapture and a call to kneel
A minorAm G+G
"No" we say, 'cause it's not coming
Chorus:
A minorAm Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D#D#
Laugh because you know you're free for the time being
Verse 3:
G+G C majorC
I, I left you in the middle of a dustcloud
D MajorD
Hoping then to lose you like a ship in fog
A minorAm G+G
But palms across the desert crossed the sea
G+G C majorC
Were my last words not quite as sobering as my epitaph
D MajorD
Faint hymns and unuttered oaths, they line the path
A minorAm G+G
But I'd like to bypass ruin
G+G C majorC D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Let's sing songs and spite the devil, spite the devil, spite him
