Collapsing Stars - The Mountain Goats (With Lyrics) Chords

[A] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [Dm] _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ When we hid out behind the risers at [C#m] the high school,
_ [G#] Working bitter calculations with a slide [F#] rule,
The grim [G] particulars [E] of poisoning the swimming pool,
_ _ [G#] Well, you looked [A] me in the eye, ready [D] to die. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] We were becoming what we [A] are, _ [G#] [Dm] collapsing stars. _ _
_ _ _ [D] When we chewed up [A] pseudoephedrine [C#] like bubble gum,
[A] Till our [B] hearts were beating deep and [D] rich as kettle drums,
We knew if we waited long [A] enough the [C#] change would come,
[A] And then the [B] day did come, and at [C#m] last,
_ Hold [Dm] tight, _ hold fast,
_ [Am] _ [Dm] _ Catch lightning in a [G] jar, _ _ [Dm] collapsing stars. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] I told you to load [C] up [Dm] on provisions,
_ _ [Fm] Cause we wouldn't be back for [Dm] a while,
_ _ _ [F] Load up your troubles [D] in your old kit bag,
[Fm] Turn toward the camera [G] and smile, smile, [A] smile,
[Dm] When we ditched the plan to poison [A] all our enemies,
_ [E] [G] Tucked our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves,
We [A#] are gonna [Fm] come [E] rejoicing, bringing in the [G] sheaves,
One day, and we are on [A] our way.
[Dm] You can look, but you [G] won't find,
_ _ [Dm] _ _
Another love like [A] ours, _ [Dm] collapsing stars. _
