[Verse]
Dm C G
Evil S I yes to find a shore
C G F
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
Dm C F
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
Am F
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Dm C G
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
C G F
Or paint or write or try to make a change
Dm C F
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
Am F
And I don't have to love or think too much
[Refrain]
A Dm C F A Bb
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
A Dm C F A Bb
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
A Dm C F Gm A Bb C
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love
[Interlude]
C C/Bb Am7 A7/C#
[Verse]
Dm C G
Christ is cursed of fathers and mothers
C G F
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Dm C F
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Am F
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Dm C G
Every mess invested was a score
C G F
We couldn't use computers anymore
Dm C F
But it's difficult to win unless you're bored
Am F
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars
[Interlude]
Am Dm

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona
A Dm C F A Bb
It might take a hundred years to grow an arm
A Dm C F Gm A Bb A
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Dm C F A Bb
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
A Dm C F A Bb
My predictions are the only things I have
A Dm C F Gm A Bb C
I can amplify the sound of light and love
[Interlude]
C C/Bb Am7 C/Ab
C/G
[Outro]
C/G Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
Bb
When I open up my mouth

There's a reason I don't win
C/G
I don't know how to begin
Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
Bb
When I open up my mouth
F
There's a reason I don't win
C/G
I don't know how to begin
[Outro with fade out]
C/G Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
