G Oh oh oh brother totem pole G I saw your legends lined up Am And I never felt more natural EmAmEm Apart I just came apart
G Please please please sister Socrates G You always answer with a question Am Show some kindness to a petty thief EmAmEm Forgive you did forgive
CD Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove GC And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral CD You’ve been a father to me Your 19 ’s speak GC Give me comatose joy like re-run TV Am While the mountain’s side was shining G Wild colors of my destiny Am I saw your face age backwards G Changing shape in my memory Am You taught me victory’s sweet G Even deep in the cheap seats
GGAmEmAmEm
G Hey hey hey mother interstate G Can you deliver me from evil Am Make me honest make me wedding cake EmAmEm Atone I will atone G Wait wait wait mighty outer-space G All that flying saucer terror Am Made me lazy drinking lemonade EmAmEm A waste it just went to waste
CD Like the Freon cold out the hotel door GC Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral CD You’ve been a daughter to me your buried shoe-box grief GC I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat Am While the waterfall was pouring G Crazy symbols of my destiny Am I watched your face die backwards G Little baby in my memory Am You told me victory's sweet G Even deep in the cheap seats
CEmC And you don’t judge me DC That’s not your style Em But I won’t see you BmC for a little while EmC And there’s no worries oh lord DC Whose got time EmD All these changes are going to fill your mind
CD Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove GC Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral CD It’s been a nightmare to me Some 19 ’s greed GC Gives me parachute dreams Like old war movies AmG While the universe was drawing Perfect circles for infinity Am I watched the stars get smaller G Tiny diamonds in my memory Am I know that victory is sweet G Even deep in the cheap seats
