[Intro]
G C x3
D7 x4
[Verse 1]
G C G C
the schools should teach the children how to lie
G C D7
and the pretty girls to freeze their skin and turn off the lights
G C G C
the world's been trying to eat me alive
G C
but my head's too big and i break its teeth
D7
every time it takes a bite
G C G C
there's a bit of antietam inside my mind
G C
where my comrades fell to the enemy
D7 G C
and i am looking at their bodies in black and white
G
i'm still alive
C G
though far from alright,
C D7
i skulked from the fight
[Chorus]
Em D/F#
dangling prey before me
Em D/F#
how could i walk away?
C D * Cadd9 D *add9
why would i stay, butterfly my veins?
Cadd9 Bm Em
if you know an easy way to sustain
Cadd9 Bm A7 D7
do you know an easy way?
[Verse 2]
G C
if you are an honest man
G C G C D7
be sure you always wear your helmet
G C G C
if you are a liar be prepared for happiness
G C D7
and fulfillment, i think so
G C G C
there's a screaming secessionist betwixt my ears
G C
that begs me to exploit my assets
D7 G C
and feed the static shit wrapped in plastic they wanna hear
G
it's quite severe
C G
they'd like me to be a mirror
C D7
keep them calm while they're getting sheared.
[Chorus]
Em D/F#
dangling prey before me
Em D/F#
how could i walk away?
C D * Cadd9 D *add9
why would i stay, butterfly my veins?
Cadd9 Bm Em
if you know an easy way to sustain
Cadd9 Bm A7 D7
do you know an easy way?
D7/F# G7 E7
[Outro]
Am
the mongols pasture
D G Em
will feed you until youre fat enough
Am D
to fit their coats and write them notes resigning
G Em
your freewill in their handwriting
Am D G
and you must declare it is only fair
Em Am
that your sons and daughters will have to bear
D G
the weight of their absent father
Em Gmaj9/F#
with t.v screens and bottled water
Em
so economics can prosper
Gmaj9/F#
and you can buy all the happiness
Fmaj9b5
the land of the free has to offer.
G
