These are just the chord progressions. I haven�t figured out the lead guitar part, but
still sounds pretty cool with just acoustic doing the chords and a voice. These are the
lyrics, not the Vincent Moon version lyrics. Email me if you have any questions or

Intro: B

Verse:

B
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
                                                A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
             A
I lay right down

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A               E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                 E
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
         A                 E
because living well's the best revenge
D           A              E
Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
Don't turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free
                                                        A
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!
B
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
              A
You weakened shill.

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A                E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                   E
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
          A                  E
because living well is the best revenge
D                A              E
and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again
                       A
Camera three... GO NOW!

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A                 E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                   E
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
           A                E
because living well is the best revenge
D                A              E
and baby, I am calling you on that
D              A            E
Baby, I am calling you on that
D              A            E
Baby, I am calling you on that
