[Verse]
Dm                     C     G
Evil S I yes to find a shore

  C                  G         F
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore

    Dm                  C                  F
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls

            Am                           F
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars

Dm                       C     G
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe

   C                 G             F
Or paint or write or try to make a change

    Dm            C               F
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch

            Am                        F
And I don't have to love or think too much
[Refrain]
A Dm      C      F     A              Bb
  Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk

A Dm     C       F    A             Bb
  Mental mystics in a twisted metal car

A Dm       C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C
  Tried to amplify the sound of light and love
[Interlude] C C/Bb Am7 A7/C# [Verse]
Dm                                C     G
Christ is cursed of fathers and mothers

      C           G                F
Might even take a knife to split a hair

   Dm             C               F
Or even scare the children off my lawn

          Am                         F
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs

Dm                        C     G
Every mess invested was a score

   C            G            F
We couldn't use computers anymore

         Dm           C                 F
But it's difficult to win unless you're bored

              Am                           F
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars
[Interlude] Am Dm C G F [Refrain]
A Dm      C       F          A           Bb
  Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona

A  Dm       C      F       A                Bb
   It might take a hundred years to grow an arm

A      Dm      C      F      Gm    A  Bb       A
  I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold

Dm      C       F      A               Bb
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior

A Dm    C        F        A            Bb
  My predictions are the only things I have

A Dm    C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C
  I can amplify the sound of light and love
[Interlude] C C/Bb Am7 C/Ab C/G [Outro]
C/G                   Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound

                  Bb
When I open up my mouth

                         F
There's a reason I don't win

                    C/G
I don't know how to begin

                      Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound

                  Bb
When I open up my mouth

                         F
There's a reason I don't win

                    C/G
I don't know how to begin
[Outro with fade out]
C/G                   Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound

                  Bb
When I open up my mouth

                         F
There's a reason I don't win

                    C/G
I don't know how to begin

C/G                   Bb/F
I'm a curse and I'm a sound

                  Bb
When I open up my mouth

                         F
There's a reason I don't win

                    C/G
I don't know how to begin
