VERSE

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
------
F C
Still to come
F C G
the worst part and you know it
F C
there is a numbness
F C G
in you heart and it's growing
am G F C
am G C
am G F C
F G

VERSE
-----
am G F C
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
am G C
I click my heels get the devils in line
am G F C
A list of things I could lay the blame on might
F G
give me a way out
am G F C
But with each turn it's this front and center
am G C
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
am G F C
Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
G C
pie in the sky
G C
chock full of lies
G C
a tool we devise to make
F G
sinking stones fly
CHORUS
------
F C
Still to come
F C G
the worst part and you know it
F C
there is a numbness
F C G
in you heart and it's growing
