NEKO CASE - HELL-ON

INTRO:
DmDm


VERSE 1:
DmDm
God is not a contract or a guy
DmDm
God is an unspecified tide
DmDm         A7A7
You cannot time its tables
  FF        A7A7
It sets no glass or gables
DmDm    A7A7     DmDm
God is a lusty tire fire
  DmDm         A7A7
Its bristles scrape and strike the stage
 FF     A7A7
A augmentedA rock paper scissors rage
   DmDm      A7A7   DmDm
Have mercy on the natural world

VERSE 2:
  DmDm      A7A7   FF      A7A7
My voice is not  the liquid waves
  DmDm      A7A7     FF      A7A7
The perfect ring  'round a heron's legs
  DmDm         A7A7
My voice is straight garotting wire
 FF       A7A7
A augmentedA stolen mile of fingerprints
DmDm       A7A7
Hear the quiet from the dunes
FF        A7A7
Captured and respooled as ruin
   DmDm    A7A7    DmDm
To be used at a different time
  DmDm
My voice is a frature for shinbone's lust
         A7A7         FF        A7A7
Pounding barefoot ground it lifts you up and sits you just
DmDm       A7A7
Just at sorrows waterline
 FF       A7A7
I drape you on tomorrow's plate
DmDm          A7A7    FF       A7A7
Ferrous metal marrow spilling not yours but mine

DmDm         A7A7   DmDm  Bb7Bb7
I'm an agent of the natural world

CHORUS:
A7A7
Don't you tell me I didn't want you
             FF
That that's some gravity ought not to play with
A7A7
Don't you tell me I didn't want you
             FF
That that's some gravity ought not to play with


BRIDGE:
C majorC        FF
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C majorC        FF
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C majorC        FF
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C majorC        FF
Nothin quite so poison as a promise

VERSE 3:
       FF
And me, I am not a myth
A7A7   DmDm     A7A7
I am a wilderness, yes
  FF      A7A7
The undiscovered continent
DmDm        A7A7
For you to undress
      DmDm    A7A7
But you'll not be my master
    FF     A7A7
You're barely my guest
DmDm        A7A7     FF    A7A7
You don't have permission to take any pictures
  DmDm       A7A7   DmDm
Be careful of the natural world
DmDm       A7A7
Nature can't ammend its ways
FF        A7A7      A7/C# A7A7
Boils along and then we play
    DmDm          A7A7
Despite heartfelt springtimes of regret
  FF        A7A7
The storm, she still cries for days
   DmDm      A7A7   Bb7Bb7
Have mercy on the natural world
