E5 C5 G5 And if you're in heaven waiting you made it there fighting D5 C5 D5 the tightest kite string in a bad storm with lightning. Chorus: E5 G5 C5 E5 And now these few presidents frowning in my pocket C5 E5 D5 C5 G5 D5 can persuade no god to let me let you talk. E5 G5 C5 E5 And now these few presidents frowning in my pocket C5 G5 D5 C5 G5 D5 can persuade no god to let me let you off. G5 D5 Even though I haven't seen you in years C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere. Verse 2: G5 D5 I thought I had a pebble in my sock E5 C5 I pulled it off and shook out a wasp G5 D5 It stumbled out lost and without a pause E5 C5 unstung as I was, still I stomped it. E5 C5 I thought "There is no paved street worthy E5 C5 of your perfect Scandinavian feet." E5 C5 My crooked chinese fingers groped E5 C5 D5 the machinery of your throat. E5 Repeat Chorus, end on "anywhere."
