D MajorD A7A7 B minorBm E MajorE E minor 7Em7 x2


♫ Verse 1:
D MajorD         A7A7
God went bowling, got the ball rolling
B minorBm          E MajorE         E minor 7Em7
Suspends it in air to strike, split, and spare
     D MajorD           A7A7
While the kingpin is falling as part of his calling
   B minorBm           E MajorE       E minor 7Em7
Makes some of us crack in the gutter, at the rack
     D MajorD            A7A7
And then God made a barrel out of slings and arrows
B minorBm             E MajorE       E minor 7Em7
Filled it up high with the apples of his eye
    D MajorD            A7A7
Now the grubworm is snacking on all we are lacking
B minorBm           E MajorE       E minor 7Em7
Aiming his shots at the cores that he rots

♫ Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4
In the fracas and filth, in the fire and the flood
    Asus4Asus4
In the trash and the tumors, the rash and the rub
    Asus4Asus4
All us tag-team wrestlers get stuck in the mud
  Asus4Asus4
And wrestle against not the flesh and the blood

♫ Verse 2:
D MajorD            A7A7
God set a table for the blind and disabled
    B minorBm               E MajorE    E minor 7Em7
Served wine, bread, and fish and some mystery dish
    D MajorD         A7A7
Made of devils and angels, grave plots and cradles
B minorBm         E MajorE      E minor 7Em7
Horses and hearses, praises and curses
    D MajorD             A7A7
See the pillages and wonders, the miracles and plunders
 B minorBm            E MajorE       E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA stumble, a fall, see the great free-for-all
    D MajorD                 A7A7
Now the rattlesnake is coiling 'round the sheets we are soiling
  B minorBm                E MajorE        E minor 7Em7
He strikes while we’re sleeping and sows what we’re reaping

♫ Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4
In the fracas and filth, in the fire and the flood
    Asus4Asus4
In the trash and the tumors, the rash and the rub
    Asus4Asus4
All us tag-team wrestlers get stuck in the mud
  Asus4Asus4
And wrestle against not the flesh and the blood

We want an infinite meddler, a fix-it-quick man
    Cmaj7Cmaj7
But he gets off his high horse, gets dirt on his hands
    E7/G               A7A7
And he woos us like a lover through each bloody cessation
  Cmaj7Cmaj7
And hangs on the cross with the rest of creation
