Slaughter Beach, Dog – Notes From A Brief Engagement At The Boot And Saddle (Guitar)

F
It's hard to sing when I'm holding my breath

F
I try to get loose, shake out my hands

C
Drink more, jump up and down

F
It's hard to sing when I'm holding my breath

F
I look at the drums

F
I look at the crowd

C
Adjust my frames and they slide back down

F
It's hard to sing when I'm holding my breath

F
There I am, mining the energy

C
Digging around for some big, dusty chunk in the dark

F
Where it's hard to sing and I'm holding my breath

F
I think of the basement

F
I sit on the washing machine

C
I reach into the backpack

C
I pull out another instrument cable

C
Because this one is making a weird...

C
It's like...

F
It's too hard to hear now

F
I'm going outside

F
I pull up my rain hood

F                           C
Push past the guys with the yellow eyes

C
In the bathroom line

F
It's too hard to hear now

F
I walk down the block

F
To the white light of the diner's sign

F
Where the meeting reconvenes

C
And the night owls laugh at civilians

F
It's too hard to hear now

F
He asks for a dollar

F
And I motion to the phone to suggest that my call

C
Is a matter of grave importance

F
It's too hard to hear now

F
With the ambulance drone

F
And the motorbike growl

F                            C
And the dopplering radios of convertible cars

C
And the beautiful, beautiful kids from the college

F
I love you the most

F
When it seems like you're free

F
I dare you to tell me in harrowing detail

C
About how it feels

C
I am in your palm

F
I love you the most

F
It's there in the hard light when you blink at the morning

F
Back home at the good bar

C
With the busted PA bumping along

C
It remembers their names

C
It holds liquor

F
I love you the most

F
You have enough time

F
You look good in white

F
You smoke without aging

C
You still love The Stones

C
You couldn't have one more bite

F
I love you the most

F
You look into the camera

F
You state your name and age

F
The lights come on

C
You pause for effect

C
You know exactly what to do with your hands
