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

Still to come

But with each turn it's this front and center
Am G C
Like a dart stuck square in your eye

Every post you can hitch your faith on is a

pie in the sky

chock full of lies

a tool we devise to make

sinking stones fly

Chords used:
Bm [ x 2 4 4 3 2 ]
A [ 5 7 7 6 5 5 ]
G [ 3 5 5 4 3 3 ]
D [ x 5 7 7 7 5 ]
Maybe there's another way to play the chords to make them sound like the song, but I
find it. The truth is that changing to an open chord ruins the transition from Bm ->
else. It kills the fluidity of the sound of the song, which is definitely there otherwise.
