The Charging Sky by Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins
The Charging Sky
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
C G F C
If I run uphill I'm out of breath
C G F C
If I spend all of my money I've got no money left
C G F C
If I place all of my chips on only one bet
C F G
I'm all in
C G F C
And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die
C G F C
So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights
C G F C
And it's not that I believe in your almight
C F G
But I might as well
F C G
as insurance or bail
C G F C
Cause institution's like a big bright lie
C G F C
And it blinds you into fear and consuming and fight
C G F C
And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky
C F G
It's just you and God
F C G
But what if God's not there?
F C G
But his name is on your dollar bill
F C G
Which just became cab fare
C G F C
For the Evangelist, the Communist, the Lefts and the Rights
C G F C
And the hypocrites and the Jesuits and the blacks and the whites
C F G
It's in the belly of the beast
F C G
In the Atlanta streets
F C G
Or up in Laurel Canyon
F C G
The verge of Middle East
C G F C
Still they're dying on the dark continent
C G F C
It's been happening long enough to mention it
C G F C
Have I mentioned my parents are getting back together again
C F G
It's been 25 years
F C G
Of spreading infection
F C G
Somehow we're not affected
C G F C
So my mom, she brushes her hair
C G F C
And my dad starts growing Bob Dylan's beard
C G F C
And I share with my friends a couple of beers
C F G
In the Orlando streets
F C G
In the belly of the beast...
