Dm
God is not a contract or a guy

Dm
God is an unspecified tide

Dm                  A7
You cannot time its tables

   F                A7
It sets no glass or gables

Dm       A7         Dm
God is a lusty tire fire

    Dm                  A7
Its bristles scrape and strike the stage

  F          A7
A rock paper scissors rage

     Dm           A7      Dm
Have mercy on the natural world
[VERSE 2]
   Dm           A7     F            A7
My voice is not    the liquid waves

    Dm            A7         F            A7
The perfect ring    'round a heron's legs

   Dm                  A7
My voice is straight garotting wire

  F              A7
A stolen mile of fingerprints

Dm             A7
Hear the quiet from the dunes

F               A7
Captured and respooled as ruin

      Dm        A7        Dm
To be used at a different time

   Dm
My voice is a frature for shinbone's lust

                  A7                  F               A7
Pounding barefoot ground it lifts you up and sits you just

Dm              A7
Just at sorrows waterline

  F              A7
I drape you on tomorrow's plate

Dm                   A7       F             A7
Ferrous metal marrow spilling not yours but mine

Dm                  A7      Dm    Bb7
I'm an agent of the natural world
[CHORUS]
A7
Don't you tell me I didn't warn you

                         F
That that's some gravity ought not to play with

A7
Don't you tell me I didn't warn you

                         F
That that's some gravity ought not to play with
[BRIDGE]
C               F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise

C               F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise

C               F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise

C               F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
[INTERLUDE] Am F Am F Dm A7 F A7 Dm A7 F A7 [VERSE 3]
              F
And me, I am not a myth

A7     Dm          A7
I am a wilderness, yes

    F            A7
The undiscovered continent

Dm                A7
For you to undress

           Dm        A7
But you'll not be my master

       F         A7
You're barely my guest

Dm                A7         F        A7
You don't have permission to take any pictures

   Dm             A7      Dm
Be careful of the natural world

Dm             A7
Nature can't ammend its ways

F                 A7           A7/C# A7
Boils Hell-On and then we play

        Dm                    A7
Despite heartfelt springtimes of regret

    F                A7
The storm, she still cries for days

     Dm           A7      Bb7
Have mercy on the natural world
