E                 A                E     A
Helena, the ramifications are very large tonight

    E                      A                     B
The stars say don't pick a fight or barge things around

     E              A              E              A
See, apparently our bloodlines are botched beyond redemption

             E                A
Luckily, you don't believe in redemption

                      B                     A
This may work in your favor, I'm told
[Chorus]
Bm7              Dbm
So throw the old furniture in the fire

       Bm7         Dbm
As the children go barbaric behind the wire

             Dmaj7            A
They're just childre-eh-eh-eh-en
Dmaj7 [Verse 2]
       E                 A                E
It's a drag the way your flag had to come down

     A          E                 A              B         A
With one of the above Americas so ferociously in bloom

    E
But pistols at dawn can only work for so long

       A
Curved appetites took flight when you decided to call the song

     E               A                       B          A
“A Pacific-Northwest Bitch Gets Shown To Her Room”
[Chorus]
Bm7              Dbm
So throw the old furniture in the fire

       Bm7         Dbm
As the children go barbaric behind the wire

             Dmaj7            A
They're just childre-eh-eh-eh-en
Dmaj7 A
    Bm7                     Dbm
And this one goes out, just like the one before

       Bm7             Dbm
To the 17th version of How I Won the War

    Bm7                   Dbm
Oh, first Destroyer! And, oh, now the Underground!
[Bridge] Dm A F#m Dm A F#m Dm A F#m Dm [Verse 3]
E                 A                E     A

    E                      A                     B            A
The stars say don't pick a fight or barge things around
[Outro]
