[Intro]
Am G F C
Am G C
Am G F C
F G
[Verse]
Am G F C
One hand on this wily comet
Am G C
Take a drink just to give me some weight
Am G F C
Some uberman I'd make, I'm
F G
barely a vapor
Am G F C
They shone a chlorine light on
Am G C
a host of individual sins
Am G F C
Let's carve my aging face off
G C
fetch us a knife
G C
start with my eyes
G C
down so the lines form a
F G
grimacing smile
Am G F C
Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Am G C
Is this fooling anyone else?
Am G F C
Never worked so long and hard to
F G
cement a failure
Am G F C
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
Am G C
but the lonely is such delicate things
Am G F C
The wind from a wasp could blow them
G C
into the sea, with
G C
stones on their feet
G C F G
lost to the light and the loving we need
[Chorus]
F C
Still to come
F C G
the worst part and you know it
F C
there is a numbness
F C G
in you heart and it's growing
Am G F C
Am G C
Am G F C
F G
Am G F C
Am G C
Am G F C
F G G
[Verse]
Am G F C
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
Am G C
I click my heels get the devils in line
Am G F C
A list of things I could lay the blame on might
F G
give me a way out
Am G F C
But with each turn it's this front and center
Am G C
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Am G F C
Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
G C
pie in the sky
G C
chock full of lies
G C
a tool we devise to make
F G
sinking stones fly
[Chorus]
F C
Still to come
F C G
the worst part and you know it
F C
there is a numbness
F C G
in you heart and it's growing
