Matthew 25:21 Chords by The Mountain Goats

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ They took [G] you up _ _ _ _ to a [D] fentanyl drip _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
To [D] mitigate the pain a little bit _ _
_ [G] I flew in _ _ _ _ [D] from Pennsylvania _ _
When _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
I [D] heard the hour was coming fast _
And [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ I [D] docked in Santa Barbara
_ Tried _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ [Gm] _ _
to brace [D] myself
But _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Gm]
you can't [D] brace yourself
When [Bm] the time comes
_ [D] You [G] _ _ _
just have to [A] roll with the blast _ _
_ _ _ [Em] And I'm an 18-wheeler [G] headed down the interstate
[D] And my brakes are gonna [A] give
And I won't know till [G] it's too late _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Tires screaming when I [D] lose control
_ Try [Am] not to hurt too many people when I [G] roll _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Find the Harbor Freeway
And _ _ head south _ _ _ _
_ _ Real tire
Head _ _ _ kind of light
I _ _ found Telegraph Road _ _
I had only seen the name on envelopes
_ _ _ Found the parking lot
_ _ _ And turned right I [Bm] felt
_ [D] All the [G] details
_ [D] Carving out space in my head
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] Tropicana's on the [G] _
walkway
[D] _ _ _ Neon red
_ Between [Bm] _ _ _ [G] the pain
_ [D] And the pills
Trying to hold [F#] it [B] back
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ Stands a traveler
_ [Am] _ _ Going somewhere far away
_ And [Em] I am an airplane
[G] Tumbling wing over wing
[D] Try to listen to my instruments
[Am] They don't [G] say anything
People _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] screaming when the [D] engines quit
_ I [A] hope we're all in crash position when we [G] hit _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And then came to your bedside _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ And as it [G] turns out
_ _ [D] I'm not ready _ _ _
_ _ _ And as though
You [G] _ _ were [D] speaking through a thick haze
You _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [D] _ said hello to me
We _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
all stood [D] there around you _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
Happy to hear [D] you speak
The _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ last of something [D] bright burning _ Still [Bm] burning
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Beyond the cancer [A] and the chemotherapy
_ _ _ _ [Em] You were a presence
[Gm] Full of light upon this [D] earth
And I am a witness
[Am] To your life and [G] to its worth _ _
_ _ _ It's three [C] days later when I [D] get the call
And [A] there's nobody around to [G] break my fall _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
