[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

[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

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Outro]
