It's just a repeat between Em and G
Riff x2
I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
Riff x2
The classicists, the posturing avant-garde
CI bought a grey macaw, named him Jules Verne
DHe'll probably outlive me he's a bright bird
Riff x2
Keeps me company I teach him new words
Riff x2
I saw a hologram at the theme park
Riff x2
She looked as real as me through the white fog
CThen she melted down to her ankles
DTurned into a million-watt candle
Riff x2
If I knew where she went I would follow
AmWalking through the land of tomorrow
DMartian trinkets, plastic Apollos
GIn the sunshine try to act normal
CMy veins are full of flat cherry-cola
Riff x2
Slept on a bench by the rollercoaster
DDreamt I was riding on a CmotorbikeG  
DLion of Judah painted Con the sideG  D  
Riff x2
I'm doing fine, I'm back in the palisades
Riff x2
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
CChina shops and cold ivory towers
DI and I make toasts to the Caesars
Riff x2
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers
Riff x2
Madeline she spins in a slow bang
Riff x2
All through the house the strong smell of burnt sage
CLet's make it clean and run out the spirits
DI know a diving bell when I hear it
Riff x2
We're going down now under the surface
AmLight to dark can shift in an instant
DFeeling close but keeping my distance
GOn all fours she's just so insistent
CFills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Riff x 2
Bust through the Firewall into heaven
DThen I'm standing in that Cblinding ligGht
DCrooked crosses falling fCrom the skyG  D  
GSeen yeah seen by I and I
CSeen yeah seen by I and I
Riff x2
