Verse 1:
C#m       B                A
Make mine old time or I'll spit in your eye
     F#m                E
It's better than lying, anytime
C#m              B
I'm horrified to step outside
A                F#m           E
Trying very hard to keep up my guard

Everything's becoming Drag
     A             F#m                      E
We'd best get off, escape the bad, could be very sad
C#m           B
Misery coming over me
    A                    F#m                     E
I'm thinking about going blind and don't want to see

Verse 2:
C#m               B
Shift around this one song town
       A                     F#m           E
Like a sparrow with a broken wing, feeling blue
C#m          B
Terrified to step outside
A               F#m                 E
It's so easy to make a suicide come true
C#m           B
Masturbation, getting off
A                    F#m         E
You can scoff, your ideals offer nothing new
C#m                  B
I'm getting ready to run and hide
A                      F#m           E
Looking for a suitable bitch to crucify


Chorus:
E                      F#m      G#m
We're all beginning to testify, testify
     A       B
It's getting fierce
                       F#m      G#m
We're all beginning to testify, testify
   A      B
To be Cavaliers

Love to have God next to me

With his hands around my throat in harmony
C#m           B
Take away the silver tray
         A                   F#m              E
Fetch me water, God, give me strength, I'm in pain
        C#m                B
Seeing, blow-job blues and boogaloos and
A                  F#m                    E
Ten little niggers hooked on absinthe and daffodils
C#m              B
Telling tales of white gardenia
A             F#m                 E
Honky-tonking all the love that's in you

Long-tailed coat, a silly joke
     A                   F#m               E
They drink like men then see them choke on Coca-Cola
C#m                  B
Morgue-like lips and waitress tips
        A                 F#m          E
And you shuffle around on your Sabrina hips
C#m           B                A
Oh, make mine old time or I'll spit in your eye
     F#m                E

It's getting fierce
                       F#m      G#m
We're all beginning to testify, testify
   A      B
To be Cavaliers
   C#m            B
Oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh
A           F#m                  E
How does it feel now you've testified?
