As recorded by Andrew Bird (From the 2007 Album ARMCHAIR APOCRYPHA) [Intro] G Am G Am G Am G Am G Am G Am [Verse 1]
G                      Am
Some people wake up on Monday mornings

G                      Am
Barring maelstroms and red flare warnings

G                      Am
With no explosions and no surprises

G                    Am
Perform a series of exercises
[Bridge]
G     Am  G   Am
Hold your fire

G     Am         G             Am  G  Am  G  Am
Take your place around an open fire
[Chorus]
  G                   Am
Before your neurons declare a crisis

  G               Am
Before your trace Serotonin rises

  G                        Am
Before you're reading your coffee grounds

      G                   Am
And before a pundit could make a sound

      G                        Am
And before you're reading your list of vices

   G                  Am      N.C.
Perform the simplest exercises
[Interlude] G [Verse 2]
G
So here we are at the end, the war is over

G
There's nothing left to defend, no cliffs of Dover

   Cmaj7                                               G
So let us put down our pens and this concludes our test

Cmaj7                                              G
Our minds are scattered about from hell to breakfast
[Bridge]
G     Am  G   Am
Hold your fire

G     Am         G             Am  G  Am  G  Am
Take your place around an open fire
[Chorus]
  G                   Am
Before your neurons declare a crisis

  G               Am
Before your trace Serotonin rises

  G                        Am
Before you're reading your coffee grounds

      G                   Am
And before a pundit could make a sound

      G                        Am
And before you're reading your list of vices

   G                  Am       G  Am  G  Am
Perform the simplest exercises
[Outro]
G     Am  G   Am
