[Intro]

Bm D Bm

[Verse 1]

Bm D Bm

Throw the phone hard at the wall

Bm D Bm

And at once my muscles stall

Bm D C

Slowly my mind cools and calms

[Verse 2]

Bm D Bm

Decompressed and disengaged

Bm D Bm

I put my pen to virgin page

Bm D C

With each scratch I'm hauled away

[Chorus]

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Bm D Bm

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]

Bm D Bm

Through the slowest country dance

Bm D Bm

To not knowing in advance

Bm D C

Every impending detail

[Verse 4]

Bm D Bm

So exploding with the news

Bm D Bm

Cages rattled, looks confused

Bm D C

Seems I might have gone too far

[Bridge]

G A

My front door lies in splinters

Bm C

And barefoot in the winter

G A

My prayers are unsuccessful

Bm C

To a god that I can recall

I could learn

Bm C

I could learn to keep my mouth shut

I might learn

Bm C

I might learn to keep my mouth shut

[Chorus]

Bm D Bm

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Bm D Bm

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There's a pause before the howl

Bm D Bm

And I'm well past feral now

Bm D C

Liberated and joyous

[Verse 6]

Bm D Bm

Curtains open, necks are craned

Bm D Bm

Shady heads in burnt wood frames

Bm D C

Then the rumble from within

[Bridge]

G A

The insanity is catching

Bm C

As out of doors like hatchlings

G A

The people leave their houses

Bm C

In barely more than blouses

This is fun

Bm C

It's the most fun I remember.

This is fun

Bm C

It's the most fun I remember.

[Outro]

It's the fight

Bm C

It's the fight that we are winning

It's the fight

Bm C

It's the fight that we are winning

It's the fight

Bm C

It's the fight that we are winning

It's the fight

Bm C

It's the fight that we are winning

[Chorus]

Bm D Bm

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
