Tune Down 1/2 Step

Em             B
Short delay the parrot blues
C             G         
Little voices mimick you
 B                           C
It's not so hard to make that sound
Em                 B
So watch your back, the Ides of March
C             G    
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc, 
 B                           C
Disguise your will, they'll find you out,
              B    C   D
And when they do, look out

              C                  D
There's money lenders inside the temple
           C                        G
The circus tiger's gonna break your heart
             B               C
Something so wild turned into paper
     Am                       D
If I loved you, well that's my fault

Em             B
A bitchin heat, the alpha male
C                   G
Not something she'd ever tell
B                          C
Except when she got deathly high
Em             B
And out it came like summer rain
C                   G
Washed the cars and everything
B                          C
Felt clean for just a little while
      B              C     D
A telethon, we drunk dialed

              C                  D
The starving children they ain't got no mother
           C                        G
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
             B               C
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
     Am                       D
If just somebody would just take my call
        Am   D
Take my call
        Am   D
Take my call

G
Hello?
                               C
Patterns in my mind now moving slow
                               G
Sorrow all across the surface rolls
                               D
Smoothing out the edges of the stone
                                     Am
The lights are out where'd everybody go?
C   B
Hello?

Em             B
Erase yourself and you'll be free
C                   G
Mendola destroyed by the sea
B                   C
All we are is colored sand
Em             B
So pay to ride the ferris wheel
C                   G
Smile all that you can feel
B                          C
Is gratitude for what has been
           B   C   D
'Cause it did not happen

              C                  D
There's money lenders inside the temple
           C                        G
The circus tiger's gonna break your heart
             Bm              C
Something so wild turned into paper
       Am                        D
If you loved me, well that's your fault
              C                  D
There's money lenders inside the temple
             C                  D
This crystal city's gonna fall apart
               B               C
When all their power turns into vapor
     Am                      D
If I loved you well that's my fault
               Am   D
Well that's my fault
               Am   D
Well that's my fault
