Okay, hey, I'm going outside,

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

you can put the plate back on the shelf.

G C9

And its cold, though the snow isn't falling,

G Am

the neighbor can speak for himself

G C9

And the cold, hard, look in your eye

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

is more than a line in the sand.

G C9

And the truth gets hard to imagine,

G A7 A7sus4

the hours get harder to stand.

G C9

There's a seasick terminal passenger

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

singing this song to himself,

G C9

Till the store-bought soul on his skeleton

G Am

leaks into somebody else

G C9

He's a seesaw caught in a storm,

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

a hurricane after the war.

G C9

When he drinks all the blood you can offer,

G A7 A7sus4 D

he still wants more.

Am D

Lemon plains, and rumbling trains,

Em C D

Are shaking the ground in our town again

Am D

Thought it twice, and kicking the ice,

Em C G

I got myself turned back around, singing.

Okay, hey, I'm backing outside,

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

now just put the plate back on the shelf.

G C9

And its cold, though the snow isn't falling,

G Am

the temperature speaks for itself.

G C9

Its a moonlit reason to quit,

G Dsus4 D Dsus2

and nobody answers the phone

G C9

So if there's still blood left in your body

G Am G

I'll come back home.
