[D] Steal [G] some [D] sunscreen [G] from the [F#m] CVS, [G]
[A] use too much [D] [A] and make a great big mess.
[D] Wait [G] where [A] [Em] [D] shadows [G] mask or hide [A] my scent.
[G] So many [E] so-called [A] friends [G] [D] working for [A] the government, dig through the [Em] trash, [G] [Bm] sleep on
the grass, [Em] and watch for the cars, [G] the county [D] water plants.
[G] Swivel [A] ciphers [G] on the library back [A] wall, [G] map a [A] path from here to home, [D] can't [A] quite catch them all.
[D]
Calculate magnetic norm, turn [A] the other way, [D] wait for the [A] coming disaster.
[D] I could do [A] this all day, dig [E] through the trash, [D] sleep on the grass,
[Em] and watch for the cars,
[G] with the counters to the [Bm] floor of the place.
It seems like everyone's cut [Em] me free, [Bm]
and left me to the tender cares [G] of my faceless [A] enemy.
[D] Feel so hungry, [G] probably [E] pass out soon, [Gm] [D] look for [A] a tree to lean up against, [D] whistle a [A] twin less tune.
[D]
[G] This [D] may be the night, [Gm] my point men [A] finally come, [E] wait for the [A] fog to catch up with me,
[D] and so I can at [A] least feel numb.
[D] Dig through the trash, [G]
[D] sleep on the grass,
[Em] and watch for the cars, [G]
with the counters
to [D] the floor of the place.
[E]
[A] With the counters [D] to the floor of the place.
[G]
[A] With the counters to [D] the floor of the place.
