Andrew Bird – Darkmatter (Guitar)

G                         C
When I was just a little boy

                        G
I threw away all of my action toys

                 C            G     C
While I became obsessed with Operation

G                                   C
With hearts and minds and certain glands

                            G
You gotta learn to keep a steady hand

                    C         G    C
And thus began my morbid fascination

D                                         Em
Tore the spines from out of all of these self-help books

Am                                Em
Made myself a gun that not only shoots but looks

     C
So real

                        D
Yeah it shoots through steel

                 G   C
With rays of darkmatter

            G    C
Rays of darkmatter

G                               C       
Do you wonder where the self resides

                       G
Is it in the head or between your sides

                              C
And who would be the one who will decide

           G    C
Its true location

G                                          C
And does the thought of all this red and black

                         G
Thought of tongues that taste you back

                    C         G   C
Fill you with the nausea of elation

D                                            Em
The noose is loosed around our necks made of DNA              

          D                 Am                          Em
And every day it's growing tighter, no matter what they do or say

                C               
Well, you can shoot right through with rays of darkmatter

        D
Just before they kick out

                  G    C
They kick out the ladder

                  G         C  
With rays of darkmatter, oh no

            G          C      G
Rays of darkmatter, oh no

                        C
Yah, like something catching fire

   G    C   G   C
Oh no

G                              C       
Do you wonder where the self resides

                        G
Is it in the head or between your sides

                              C
And who would be the one who will decide

           G   C
Its true location
