MGMT ~ FLASH DELIRIUM
from "Congratulations"
[Intro] Dm  
FMild apprehension
Blank Dmdreams of the coming funA/E  
 FDistort the odds of a turnaround
Gut Dmscreams out next to noneA  
So turn it Bon
Tune it Ein
And stay Ainert
You say "FI've got the backbone"
The back Dmway to escape the gunA  
 FClimbing a tree with a missing limb
And not Dmsaving anyoneA  
And now it Bhurts
To stay at Ehome and see
AFlash 
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You Dmcan't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the Bflash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
So if you Emust smash a glass first fill it to the hilt
FPlants
As far as I know are still, 
 CStill bending Atoward the light
And if we Fdance
Until the heart explodes
It'll Dmmake this place igAnite
 FAnd even if this Ghall collapses
 CI can stand by my Ampillar of hope it's Fjust
A Dmcase of Flash ADelirium
FHere's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
DmAges stuck together
ATaking it to the source
FTimeless desperation
CPictures on a screen scream
 Dm"hey people, Awhat does it mean?"
B   E   A
FComfort keeps us Fmnice
So Cquick to donate Aeverything
Die Bwolken drifting blinding smiles Ecircling 
And Ftime's Fmtingling Cspines
AAttaching hands to Bfloor
The Erosy-tinted 
AFlash
The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll Dmnever be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the Bbirds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the Eclean magazine chick lifting up her skirt
F(hold)
 Why close one eye and try to
 CPledge allegiance Amto the sun
 FWhen plastic ghosts start terrorDmizing everyAone
 FGeometric Gtroops aligning
 CCarried C/Bup to the Amburial mounds
 FMy earthbound heart is heavy
 CYour heartbeat Amkeeps things light
 FWith the violence forever Dmthreatening the Anight
And Feven if this Ghall collapses
 CI can stand by my Ampillar of hope and Btrust
That our heads won't Ebust
FSix six, five five G#red battleships
Forty C/Gearthlike planets
Three Aholes two tits
One B/F#fork in it's side
Zero Etears in their eyes
(double time)
FSue the spiders
Sink the W:oelsh
G#Stab your facebook
Sell sell sell
C/GUndercooked
Overdone
AMass adulation not so funny
B/F#Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
ESilly money
You're my honeyA

MGMT ~ FLASH DELIRIUM

from "Congratulations"

[Intro]

Mild apprehension

Dm A/E

Blank dreams of the coming fun

Distort the odds of a turnaround

Dm A

Gut screams out next to none

So turn it on

Tune it in

And stay inert

You say "I've got the backbone"

Dm A

The back way to escape the gun

Climbing a tree with a missing limb

Dm A

And not saving anyone

And now it hurts

To stay at home and see

Flash

The mirror ball's throwing mold

You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold

See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt

So if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

Plants

As far as I know are still,

C A

Still bending toward the light

And if we dance

Until the heart explodes

Dm A

It'll make this place ignite

F G

And even if this hall collapses

C Am F

I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just

Dm A

A case of Flash Delirium

Here's a growing culture

Deep inside a corpse

Ages stuck together

Taking it to the source

Timeless desperation

Pictures on a screen scream

Dm A

"hey people, what does it mean?"

B E A

F Fm

Comfort keeps us nice

C A

So quick to donate everything

B E

Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling

F Fm C

And time's tingling spines

A B

Attaching hands to floor

The rosy-tinted

Flash

The hot dog's getting cold

And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones

Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt

Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

(hold)

Why close one eye and try to

C Am

Pledge allegiance to the sun

F Dm A

When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone

F G

Geometric troops aligning

C C/B Am

Carried up to the burial mounds

My earthbound heart is heavy

C Am

Your heartbeat keeps things light

F Dm A

With the violence forever threatening the night

F G

And even if this hall collapses

C Am B

I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust

That our heads won't bust

F G#

Six six, five five red battleships

C/G

Forty earthlike planets

Three holes two tits

B/F#

One fork in it's side

Zero tears in their eyes

(double time)

Sue the spiders

Sink the W:oelsh

Stab your facebook

Sell sell sell

C/G

Undercooked

Overdone

Mass adulation not so funny

B/F#

Poisoned honey

Pseudo science

Silly money

You're my honey
