[Verse 1]
Bm                                        G
If God wills this time tomorrow, bound for Boise via plane

Bm                               G
(willful mispronunciation of my destination’s name)

    A               G              A              Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State That I am in” [sic]
[Verse 2]
Bm                                     G
If God wills this time tomorrow in the early morning rain

Bm                                        G
I’ll unpack the boots I borrowed and turn back the way I came

   A               G               A           Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State I am in”

   A                    G
And I’d like to call the song New Wine, New Skins

[Break] G Em Em7 (4x) [Verse 3]
Bm
Come, unfastening android limbs

       A
In the moonlight through translucent skin

         G
Now we’ve both been there and back again

       Em7               A
To the state that I’m no longer in

     Bm
With carbon fiber lips whereby

     A
Came thought reflex personified

       G
Now a scorpion in the sky, harmless as a butterfly

Em7             A
You can pin and mount me likewise!

Bm
If you fail first, some warm, bright day

    A
I’ll unperform at your unmarked grave

            G
And you can tell me what those eyes have seen

       Em7                   A
But for now the Creek-don’t-rise routine

    Bm
With churning engine, fix my head

   A
Up north in the Gold Fork riverbed

        G
From the misuse of intelligence

    A              G
And all I wish I’d said pours out

Em7
New wine, new skins
[Chorus] Bm A Asus4 A A5 G
G
“God’s will” or “come what fortune gives”

G
Or is this truly how you’d choose to live?
Bm A Asus4 A A5 G
G
Is this truly how you choose to live?
