Wincing The Night Away

Official release by Sub Pop Records on January 23, 2007.

E

Go without 'til the need seeps in

A E

you're low anymore; collect your novel petals for the stem

E

and glow, glow; melt and flow

[verse]

E

eviserate your fragile frame

A E

spilled it all in ragged form; a thousand different versions of yourself

B A

and if the old gaurd still offend; you got nothing left on which you depend

A

so enlist ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads

[chorus]

E A

Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise

[verse]

E

See those unrepenting buzzards want your life

A

when they got no right; as sure as you have eyes

E B A

they got no right

[verse]

E A

E

Just put yourself in my new shoes; and see that I do what I do

B A

because the old gods still offend; we got nothing left on which we depend

so we waste every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads

Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
