Alpha Desperation March
by The Mountain Goats

G
I'm coming in
G
Try to stop me
G
Push furniture in front of the door
G
It only gives me something to push against
                                D
In the full heat of the summer's day
   C                     G
You're telling me to go away
                                 D
But you owe me eight thousand dollars
             G
And I could use it

G
I'm only getting stronger
G
You may have noticed
G
But a head full of memories propels me ever forward
                                 D
And in the living room I don't see where you are
          C                       G
But the back door's open so you can't have gone far
                                D
And eight thousand dollars is a whole lotta money
            G
And I could use it

G
Could be that it's my imagination
G
But I think I hear you now
G
So come out come out wherever you are
G
Ollie ollie ollie ollie ollie oxen-freeeee
                                 D
See I'm perfectly aware of where our love stands
             C                       G
But the plain fact is that you owe me eight grand

If it helps to jog your memory
                        D
I lent it to you one Tuesday when we were drinking
G
Ha, Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, A-ha
