verse 1 :

G D C
at your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas

you pray to nothing out loud

G Em C
two first names and an ampersand embroidered proudly on a kitchen towel

G D C D
you’re a beautiful and violent work with the skinny neck of a chinese bird

G D
in a fading ancient painting .

Em C G
and if you’re in heaven waiting you made it there fighting

D C D
the tightest kite string in a bad storm with lightning .

chorus :

Em G C/E Em/G
and now these few presidents frowning in my pocket

C Em/B D C G/B D
can persuade no god to let me let you talk .

Em G C/E Em/G
and now these few presidents frowning in my pocket

C G/B D C G/B D
can persuade no god to let me let you off .

G D
even though i haven’t seen you in years

C D Em D C
yours is a funeral i’d fly to from anywhere .

verse 2 :

G D
i thought i had a pebble in my sock

Em C
i pulled it off and shook out a wasp

G D
it stumbled out lost and without a pause

Em C
unstung as i was , still i stomped it .

Em C
i thought “there is no paved street worthy

Em C
of your perfect scandinavian feet . ”

Em C
my crooked chinese fingers groped

Em C D
the machinery of your throat .

Em
repeat chorus , end on “anywhere . ”
