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

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
