Verse
D#
I can recall you standng tall,
Cm
G man in all his glory gazing
Fm
At them patterns painting rainbows in
A#
The sunlight on the pavement
D#
in the blackness where your axon sent me
Cm
Softly into dreaming
Fm
Over bends and home again only to
A#
Turn up inbetween them
[Verse 2]
D#
And the speakers shout me greetings
Cm
They shout me revelations
Fm
Where them villains wind up dancing and their fans come
A#
Spend their paychecks
D#
And we dance around a ram sent down(?) and
Cm
We just wear the anthem sounds
Fm
Tricksters and the tramps about,
A#
Cheaters as the champs are crowned
[Verse 3]
D#
You take your chances
Cm
While the sunlight sets
Fm
But no matter how ferocious
A#
That the gunfight gets
D#
The promised land i hear is merely
Cm
One ride west
Fm
I haven't had the time to take
A#
But when the blood dries, let's
[Verse 4]

Fm A#
Silly little things you do

You might not feel that melancholy
Fm A#
When they turn out to not be true

But who's to say what's true and what isn't

He said she said that it's not you
D#m Cm
Me oh my good god good riddance
Gm*
What a nice neat bloodless coupe

Youv'e been praying with dirty fingers
Fm A#
It's a wonder you can pray at all
D# Cm
'Til nighttime comes cool 'cross the vineyard
Fm A#
And it's a wonder I should think so small
D# Cm
But there she goes my moonlight daugthter
Fm A#
Baskin, brushing up against the rose
D# Cm
Sometimes she sings tunes I taught her
Gm*
Most times she don't use words at all
[Outro]

You get what you get and you don't throw a fit

Take what you make and don't tell no one shit (x4)
