Note: This is tabbed for one guitar ONLY, and the intro is definitely not perfect,
but it is the closest I could figure out. Hopefully it helps a bit.

D D Em Am G Am G
G D D
Styrofoam cup of mud in my good hand,
G
Disembodied voice of God in the trash can
D Em Em
Eyes in the ashes, feeling for the future
D
Sleeping through the stake-out, researching the rumor.
G D D
A mile, a motor, a mattress, a memory,
G
At first you were embarrassed, but how could you not be,
D Em Em
Tangled in teenage mom at the movies,
D
Your voice ran out out of words,
Em Em, Am, G, Am, G
It was awkward and homey.
G
Gospel in your belly, the ache a little lower,

Back into the breach, you spoke as it's owner.
D
Syndicated sermon you sang from the rafters,
D
Anchors in you pockets, holding down the laughter.
G
Tearing up your mind, your lust and your ego,
G
Slingshot a martyr to speed your libido,
D
Perish grows to jelly, blissful and wasted,
D Em Em, Am, G, Am, G
Your Vishnu eye slips open and pictures them naked
Break:
Gx8, Emx8
C G
You're complicating your worst mixed messes,
C G
You built then burnt a bridge.
C
And scattered all your crumbs at the cliff,
D D
She wants me, she'll swim for it.
Solo: (There is a lot of bending and interesting distortion here so I can't get
it perfect, but you should be able to work with this)

G G G
Brother, can you spare your arms or your arrows?
G G G
Thunder clap's arising, I think that I should
D
Go home to the basement, back on Jumel street,
D
1996 and your waiting there to tell me,
G
"I didn't die, you dreamt it, you dreamt it,
G
I'm as alive as your best good intentions.
D
Sorry that I tricked you, you had to focus

Pull yourself together, clear out the garbage."
