*full name: F6sus2(#11) [Intro] G F6sus2 [Verse 1]
G                          F6sus2
  Electric waves a rush of energy

                                G
Silent river pouring backward eternally

                               F6sus2
Through the phase and touch of entropy
Old age in the beginner
G                                   F6sus2
  To hit the stage and blush wild, laughingly

                              G
Crush the rage and rush time tappingly

                          F6sus2
Call the name so much so vapidly
Dissolving into thin air
G                                F6sus2
  Turning the two-fork taped up television
Into tunnel vision
G                             F6sus2
  Taking the new fork tactile as revision
Working the revision [Chorus]

[Verse 2]
G                           F6sus2
  There is no reason to go down alonе

                             G
Through distortion’s secret telеphone

                      F6sus2
Separate contact separate
Poison in the ether
G                           F6sus2
  Swinging still incessant pendulum

                     G
Lavender, nettle, calendula

                           F6sus2
Separate, contact, concentrate
Drawing out the fever [Chorus]
 C/G    G

[Break] G F6sus2 [Verse 3]
G                          F6sus2
  Only the winter wind survives

                                 G
After the heat rush feeds and thrives

                              F6sus2
After the bushfire burns and dies
Frozen and bitter
G                             F6sus2
  Desert ground so cold and clean

                          G
Spreading out like a magazine
Reading the dirt like gossip
F6sus2
      What do the weeds say? They say

 G                                           F6sus2
“Everything, everything, everything falls through

                           G
Each dimension breaks in two
Like the two hands clapping
F6sus2
      Like the two wings flapping

G                                        F6sus2
Everything, everything, everything for free

                   G
As it all eventually
Turns to dust and petal
F6sus2
      Molten rock and meadow”
[Chorus]
