So you don?t get to be a saint
G                    F
Martyrs never last this long
C                   Am
Guess I'll never be the one
G                    F
To defeat desire in song
F
Here's a marker
G             C
Here's my naked skin
      F
Our 'exhibit A'
F            G                 C
Put a small x where I lost my way

C                              Am
All the actors broke their legs
G                     F
And it?s to late to postpone
C                    Am
The producer?s getting high
G                    F
And the audience went home
C                        Am
Smile and take your awkward bow
G                         F
Turn and stumble off the stage
C                  Am
Let the rain be your applause
G                     F
Every encore sooth your rage
F
Squint with one eye
G                C
Hum a show-tune wait
           F
For your right to say
F                    G                   C
oh that?s where you must have lost your way

C   Am   G   F
C   Am   G   F

F             G              C                    F
Megaphones in helicopters squeal ?hey are you okay??
F                   G                    C
Searchlights circle, where we lost our way

C        Am             G                 F
All our accidents were purposeful and felt
C             Am           G                F
Stripped of providence or any way to tell
C          Am             G                  F
But our intentions were intangible and sweet
C           Am              G
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries
F                            G
Piled up against our impending defeat.
