Intro:

C G D Am x2

Verse 1:
C                       G
I see young men walkin’ catatonic, talkin’
       D                             Am
To the ghosts that circle their feet
    C                            G
The spirit realm is calling, but I’m too busy falling
   D
In love with a swan in heat
    C                               G
You say you’re nothing like me, you tell it to me Nightly
    D                          Am
And rightly and contritely I say
            C                           G
That you’re thinking too much of me for someone so above me
        D
But you think too much, anyway
          D
Yeah, you think too much of me, anyway

Chorus 1:
G        C          G
Now you drag me to sleep
                    C                 D
With a promise we’ve kept, though it’s ever oblique
      C              Bm             Em            C
And I know how Jesus died, he was a cousin on my mother’s side
    G        C               G    C
But we don’t speak of him anymore
   G        C               G      C - G
No we don’t speak of him anymore

Verse 2:
C                            G
Now I’m prone to wonder what phylum I am under
      D                     Am                             Am
Cause I can’t quite be your kind
       C                    G
Was it Catholic inaction or prurient attraction
     D
That sewed us side by side?
       C                  G
Now my wilderness years appear to be here
       D                     Am                             Am
In the deserts of the garden state
       C                                G
You’re asking me to stay, but there’s a Coach USA
        D
And the Coach USA don’t wait
       D
No the Coach USA don’t wait

Chorus 2:
   G        C         G
So now, you ask me to say
               C                 D
Which way I’ve strayed from your temperate ways
  C              Bm              Em            C
I know how Jesus died, he was, of course Routinized
    G        C               G    C
But we don’t speak of him anymore
    G        C             G      C - G
No we don’t speak of him anymore
