[Verse 1]
F# B F#
C# muffled battle cry across the kitchen table
F# B F#
C# baffling contretemps that shakes the day unstable
F# B
Confessions from the cab a habit that I got from dad
F#7 B
The flurry of departure in a cyclone of cologne
D
Would often devastate the gate and hedge
F#
And set our tiny teeth on edge
D
I see it in me now and pledge
F#
To knock it on the head that's what I'll do
F# (hold)
[Verse 2]

C# muffled battle cry across the kitchen table
F# B F# * * * *
Bridges up portcullis down and round the Tower of Babel
F# B
I'm babbling in my dreams of blue berserkers coming at me
F#7
Eyes and tongues and rusty knives
B
And God almighty laughing at me
D
From a fat boy fishing chair
F#
I wake to find you laughing there
D
It's nice to know how much you care
F# F# F# F# F#
Decided I should spend my life with you
[Chorus]
F# F# B B C#6 C#6
We protect our little fictions
F# F#
Like it's all we are
F# F# B B C#6 C#6
Little wilderness mementos
F# F#
But there's only you and me here
B B C#6 C#6 F# F#
Fire breathing
B B C#6 C#6
Hold tight

Waiting for the original miracle

[Verse 3]
F# B F# * * * *
I'm trying to focus on the issues of the day please
F# B F# * * * *
Your paper's upside down The radio's in Chinese
F# B
These little tremors that are ripping through our rituals
F#7
That friction up the interaction
B
Emanate from quite the greatest
D
Thing that ever happened to
F#
C# pair of boozy bowerbirds
D
Like me and you In other words
F# F# F# F# F#
The alligator pear inside of you
[Chorus]

We protect our little fictions
F# F#
When we bow to fear
