Dm A the grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool, G A well you looked me in the eye, Dm G ready to die. Dm A we were becoming what we are, Dm collapsing stars. Dm A when we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubble gum, G Dm til our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums Dm A we knew if we waited long enough the change would come. G A and then the day did come and at last Dm G hold tight. hold fast. Dm A catch lightning in a jar, Dm collapsing stars. G Dm I told you to load up on provisions, G Dm because we wouldn't be back for a while. G Dm pack up your troubles in your old kit bag G A turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile. Dm A when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies, G Dm stuffed our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves, Dm A we are going to come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves G A one day, and we are on our way. Dm G you can look, but you won't find Dm A another love like ours, Dm collapsing stars. Outro: Dm A G Dm (x3), Dm A Dm www.TAB6.com
