Coyotes tiptoe in the snow after dark
(riff 1)
At home with the ghosts in the national parks

Mankind's behavin' like some serial killers
E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC      G+G (hold)
Giant ol' monsters afraid of the sharks

Em* D*    C*    G*
And we're in love with all of it
Em*  D*  C*     G*
And we say: "What can we say?"

And we say: "What can we say?"

And we say: "What can we say?"
