                     G1        Em1
i think i'll go home and mull this over
         D1      A1      G1
before i cram it down my throat
                             G1     Em1
at long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
           D1      A1         G1
has broken up into bits in my moat.

Em2             Em2     
lift the mattress off the floor
Em2      
walk the cramps off
                
go meander in the cold
Em2          
hail to your dark skin
Em2        
hiding the fact you're dead again
Em2                                     
underneath the powerliness seeking shade

far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

                   G1        Em1
it's a luscious mix of words and tricks
            D1           A1             G1
that let us bet when you know we should fold
                 G1         Em1
on rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
           D1            A1              G1
and of the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Em2               Em2     
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em2                                     
never betray the way you've always known it is.
Em2     D2                Em2
one day i'll be wondering how
                          Em2
i got so old just wondering how
                                    
i never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.


this is way beyond my remote concern 
of being condescending

Bm  G1    D1   A1   Bm    G1    D1
all these squawking birds won't quit.
Bm  G1   D1 A1     Bm  G1  D1
building no-thing, lay-ing bricks.

BRIDGE (w/ organ solo)
Bm  A1  G1  Em1  D1  A1  G1  REPEAT 2x

Em2               Em2     
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em2                                     
never betray the way you've always known it is.
Em2     D2                Em2
one day i'll be wondering how
                          Em2
i got so old just wondering how
                                    
i never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.
