MGMT ~ FLASH DELIRIUM
from "Congratulations"
[Intro] Dm
F
Mild apprehension

Blank dreams of the coming fun

Distort the odds of a turnaround
Dm A
Gut screams out next to none

So turn it on
E
Tune it in

And stay inert

You say "I've got the backbone"

The back way to escape the gun
F
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
Dm A
And not saving anyone
B
And now it hurts
E
To stay at home and see
A
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
Dm
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold

Deep inside a corpse

Attaching hands to floor

The rosy-tinted
A
Flash
The hot dog's getting cold
Dm
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones

Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt

Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt
F(hold)
Why close one eye and try to
C Am
Pledge allegiance to the sun
F Dm A
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
F G
Geometric troops aligning

Carried up to the burial mounds

My earthbound heart is heavy

Your heartbeat keeps things light

With the violence forever threatening the night

I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust

That our heads won't bust
