As recorded by Bright Eyes feat. Hurray for the Riff Raff (2025 release) [Intro] Emaj7 G#m7 F#m Amaj7 [Verse 1]
       Emaj7
It’s a billy club bruise that shattered your skin,

        G#m7
They’re breaking up the union to let the scabs in

       F#m
It’s a baseball bat to the back of your neck

           Amaj7
Now you’re nodding, yes

           Emaj7
Cause they won’t take no for an answer these days

           G#m7
There is a miracle drug for the disengaged age

       F#m                                Amaj7
If the mad men say it’s all okay, they’re lying
[Chorus]
        E           B                F#m                B
You can make up new meanings for the things that you’re seeing

           A            E                  B
But it’s a long, long, long, long way from known

     F#m      B          Emaj7    G#m7    F#m    Amaj7
In a Dyslexic Palindrome
[Verse 2]
         Emaj7
When the blue of the night meets the bruise round her eye

     G#m7
It’s painful and blooming

          F#m
Shove the kids in the car, no you’re not going far

                 Amaj7
But you gotta get moving

       Emaj7
Take a pause from the show so the sponsors can crow

        G#m7
Put the tv on mute no one has to know

        F#m
You can read the fine print that your lawyer decodes

         Amaj7
When the racecar explodes

Amaj7
WOW!!
[Chorus]
        E           B                F#m                B
You can make up new meanings for the things that you’re seeing

           A            E                  B
But it’s a long, long, long, long way from known

     F#m      B          E   E7
In a Dyslexic Palindrome
[Bridge]
A                  B           E
 I’m seeing things upside down

               A
I start at the ending now

  E      B         F#m  B
A man, a plan, a canal, napalm

F#m      B

[Outro] E G#m7 F#m Amaj7
