Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Based off of this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l87beCF7s9k
Some of these chords are really wonky so not all of them are exactly spot-on. Doesn't stop it from sounding
good! Also, the timing of some of the chords can be pretty strange so you'll have to give it a listen and
develop a feel for it yourself.

[Intro]

C/G Bsus4 (3x)

[Verse 1]

Csus2 Esus4 Csus2 A7b5
Mountain City yellows they're not on the grounds they're in the wall
Csus2 Esus4 Csus2 A7b5
This loneliness is so distracting i'm barely missing you at all

D F A# D C Bb C
Will i survive the Easter in this sloughy womb of noxious isolation? no
F Em Em(add9)
I can feel the sabers now in my illusionary casket
Dm7b5 Em(add9) Ddim

[Pre-Chorus]

F C Ab Bb Cm Bb D# Bb Ab G Ab G Ab G
Now your charming little virus is getting all your attention
F C Ab Bb Cm Bb D# Bb Ab G Ab G Ab G
As i drag my chair up to the window to absorb some solar lashings

Gm Ab Gm G
It's your saint's name day tomorrow but last year's paper wasps they are not living anymore

[Chorus]

D# Ddim
Why should i be scorned like some catalyst for famines when it's
D# Ab Bb
Me who's been exiled in apartments?
B G Ab6 Bb
Oh must i always be chaos arpeggiating? Oooh

[Verse 2]

Csus2 Esus4 Csus2 A7b5
Mountain City yellows i see them glitching through the floor
Csus2 Esus4 Csus2 A7b5
The minotaur of self abuse can't pick himself up anymore

D F A# D C Bb C
Your last violent freak out was a eulogy to us
F Em Em(add9)
I was truly touched that you still cared enough to throw psychotic fits
Dm7b5 Em(add9) Ddim

[Pre-Chorus]

F C Ab Bb Cm Bb D# Bb Ab G Ab G Ab G
And now i'm sparring with the no one, the void, the vacuum of conscience
F C Ab Bb Cm Bb D# Bb Ab G Ab G Ab G
As i mine the rust of my celebrity with snarls and mock laughter

Gm Ab
I have the sense that you're wanting me to chase you
Gm G
But what's the point? we can't be together without starting a row

[Chorus]

D# Ddim
Why should i be scorned like some catalyst for famines when it's
D# Ab Bb
Me who's been exiled in apartments?
B G Ab6 Bb
Oh must i always be chaos arpeggiating?

D# Ddim
Why should i be scorned like some catalyst for famines when it's
D# Ab Bb
Me who's been exiled in apartments?
B G Ab6 Bb
Oh must i always be chaos arpeggiating, chaos arpeggiating, oooh
