Chords Mostly: D G A

I'm tracing pentagrams with chalk onto my floor 
i'm lighting candles cookin' curses casting spells to bring a storm 
that will cloud up over bloomington, and make black the midwest sky 
i'm pushing pins into the map to mark the points for lightning strikes 
may the ashes of the university make their way out to the sea 
and may the bones of the invaders mix with the bricks of burned buildings 
we will make them into to mortar and we will build this town again 
i'm calling on dark forces to take me back to bloomington 
we'll dig some holes and plant some seeds and grow trees 
back in the park so the bums will have some shade to drink 
and a place to sleep when it gets dark nick will get his job 
back when we re-open the Vonlee we'll watch movies and eat popcorn 
but this time we won't have to sneak we'll make music in our basements 
we'll play 4-square in the streets we'll carve hexes in our our highways 
to ward off the wicked beasts and this time we'll keep our city
safe we'll keep our city sweet we'll keep our city free one by one 
and block by block we watched it slip away the towers of our enemies 
grew taller everyday until at last i cast away and tried to find some better place 
but it's wings are wide and cast it's shadow down on everything 
so i'm praying to the lord and every other god i know to give me a flaming sword 
and some extra lightning bolts and the power to destroy the ones 
who took our town away and the strength we need to build it back 
into something great and this time we'll keep our city safe...
and sam will come back from california and she will know just what we need to do 
and all the cool kids that i've met in all the places that i've went 
will hear the booming of the battle and come too 
and we'll make this place into the greatest place there's ever been all we want 
is a place to live the kind of lives to want to live 
so i'm rubbing every lantern that i find and i'm chasing every rainbow that i see 
i'm searching the clovers trying to find one with four leaves 
anything that could grant one wish to me [x2] 
and portland will not save you and olympia will fall too 
and gainesville will surrender someday 
and i know bloomington will never be the same 
bloomington will never be the same
