A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
FF G+G


VERSE
-----
A minorAm  G+G      FF   C majorC
 One hand on this wily comet
A minorAm    G+G       C majorC
 Take a drink just to give me some weight
A minorAm   G+G    FF  C majorC
 Some uberman I'd make, I'm
FF      G+G
barely a vapor

A minorAm    G+G   FF     C majorC
 They shone a chlorine light on
A minorAm G+G      C majorC
 a host of individual sins
A minorAm    G+G    FF   C majorC
 Let's carve my aging face off
G+G     C majorC
fetch us a knife
G+G       C majorC
start with my eyes
G+G      C majorC
down so the lines form a
FF     G+G
grimacing smile


A minorAm      G+G     FF   C majorC
 Close your eyes to corral a virtue
A minorAm  G+G      C majorC
 Is this fooling anyone else?
A minorAm   G+G     FF    C majorC
 Never worked so long and hard to
FF       G+G
cement a failure


A minorAm    G+G      FF      C majorC
 We can blow on our thumbs and posture
A minorAm    G+G       C majorC
 but the lonely is such delicate things
A minorAm  G+G      FF      C majorC
 The wind from a wasp could blow them
G+G     C majorC
into the sea, with
G+G         C majorC
stones on their feet
G+G       C majorC     FF     G+G
lost to the light and the loving we need

CHORUS
------
FF     C majorC
 Still to come
FF      C majorC      G+G
 the worst part and you know it
FF      C majorC
 there is a numbness
FF    C majorC       G+G
 in you heart and it's growing

A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
A minorAm G+G C majorC
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
FF G+G

A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
A minorAm G+G C majorC
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
FF G+G G MajorG


VERSE
-----
A minorAm      G+G     FF     C majorC
 With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
A minorAm      G+G       C majorC
 I click my heels get the devils in line
A minorAm     G+G       FF     C majorC
 A augmentedA list of things I could lay the blame on might
FF        G+G
give me a way out


A minorAm       G+G       FF     C majorC
 But with each turn it's this front and center
A minorAm    G+G     C majorC
 Like a dart stuck square in your eye
A minorAm   G+G      FF      C majorC
 Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
G+G      C majorC
pie in the sky
G+G        C majorC
chock full of lies
G+G      C majorC
a tool we devise to make
FF       G+G
sinking stones fly


CHORUS
------
FF     C majorC
 Still to come
FF      C majorC      G+G
 the worst part and you know it
FF      C majorC
 there is a numbness
FF    C majorC       G+G
 in you heart and it's growing
