of Montreal – Malefic Dowery (Guitar)

G
Love is not a debtor's prison

           D7
You don't have to serve a sentence

    Am                          G
To pay back what you've been given

G
Now I live in fear of your schizophrenic genius

        D
It's a tempestuous despot

     Am                  G
That I can't seem to propitiate

       D#             D#7                     G
Now I feel you're provoking me with your fidelity

              D#
That your loyalty and affections

      D#7        G              D
Are somehow a vulpine act of hostility

Fm
Now we're a bore, we're afternoon TV

       C
This thing our minds are screaming to defy

           Fm
How can I bury this rebellion?

                                    C                       G
While proving that I'm, you know, still your rock 'n' roll ally?

 Dm                                       C          A     G
Once more I turn to my crutch for counsel, and it won't disappoint me

Dm               B7                                    C
I know it's the shadow cast by what's looming in the profane

                       F     G        D#          D#7
And not the thing in itself that engenders fear

F                      A#
I was dreaming of the hunt

                         C
You clapped your hands sharply twice to wake me up

      Fm                       A#
Oh, darkness was gripping the sky

                     C                      G
I knew I could still be your rock 'n' roll ally
