Low Life Kingdom
Words and music by Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard from the album “One Fast Move Or I’m Gone”
Capo 2
Have [ G ]you sent men here
For this [ D ]cold clown
And [ A ]monstrous eater at the [ G ]world
Send illumination to our [ D ]drowning brains
Slime [ A ] hoops and iodine [ G ]weeds
I’ve got to believe in [ D ]you
Or [ A ]live in death
I’m [ Em ]going to die in [ G ]full despair
[ D ]Wake up wh [A ] ere
The [ Em ] atmosphere is [ G ]dearer
Maybe [ D ]closer to [ A ]heaven
We try to make our way
No aid comes from whatever and wherever
The low life kingdom where we part out tea
Heaven dear suggested to promise us
You’ve not seen mermaids in my actual sea
Her name is oh so really high life
I’m [ Em ]going to die in [ G ]full despair
[ D ]Wake up wh [A ] ere
The [ Em ] atmosphere is [ G ]dearer
Maybe [ D ]closer to [ A ]heaven
My golden empty soul
Will outlast your salty sill
In a billion years of trying
We’ve had no crack at eternity
I’ve got to believe in you
Or live in death
I’m [ Em ]going to die in [ G ]full despair
[ D ]Wake up wh [A ] ere
The [ Em ] atmosphere is [ G ]dearer
Maybe [ D ]closer to [ A ]heaven
