Weekend Wars Tab

Evil S I yes to find a shore,
                               
A beach that doesn't quiver anymore,
                                         
Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,
                                       
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars

                                
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
                                
Or paint or write or try to make a change.
                               
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
                                    
And I don't have to love or think too much

                              
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
                            
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
                               
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

(Instead of just playing a C at the end here,
you can match the sound of MGMT a little better if
you play the riff below. When you finish it, go right 
into the Dm of the next verse.)

Christ is cursed of faders and maders
                                 
Might even take a knife to split a hair
                               
Or even scare the children off my lawn
                                   
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs


                                
Every mess invested was a score
                           
We couldn't use computers anymore
                                     
But it's difficult to win unless you're bored,
                                         
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars


                                 
Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona.
                             
It might take 100 years to grow an arm
                                    
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
                                  
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
                               
My predictions are the only things I have
                            
I can amplify the sound of light and love

(Here there is a similar riff as before. I strum or pick this
depending on how intense I want it to sound. Again, go right into
the next part after finishing this.)

I'm a curse and I'm a sound,

When I open up my mouth,
                         
There's a reason I don't win,
                    
I don't know how to begin
                      
I'm a curse and I'm a sound,

When I open up my mouth,
                         
There's a reason I don't win,
                    
I don't know how to begin



-------(Slowly Fades out from here on)


                      
I'm a curse and I'm a sound,

When I open up my mouth,
                         
There's a reason I don't win,
                    
I don't know how to begin
