[Chords] [Bm xx44xx] [D xx02xx] [C xx201x] [A xx22xx] [Intro] Bm D Bm [Verse 1]
Bm                       D  Bm
Throw the phone hard at the wall

Bm                      D  Bm
And at once my muscles stall

Bm                     D  C
Slowly my mind cools and calms
[Verse 2]
Bm                  D  Bm
Decompressed and disengaged

Bm                  D  Bm
I put my pen to virgin page

Bm                         D  C
With each scratch I'm hauled away
[Chorus]
Bm                        D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                        D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                        D  C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh
[Verse 3]
Bm                      D  Bm
Through the slowest country dance

Bm              D    Bm
To not knowing in advance

Bm               D  C
Every impending detail
[Verse 4]
Bm                    D  Bm
So exploding with the news

Bm                   D  Bm
Cages rattled, looks confused

Bm                      D  C
Seems I might have gone too far
[Bridge]
G                         A
My front door lies in splinters

        Bm           C
And barefoot in the winter

G                    A
My prayers are unsuccessful

     Bm              C
To a god that I can recall

         G
I could learn

         A
I could learn

         Bm               C
I could learn to keep my mouth shut

         G
I might learn

         A
I might learn

         Bm               C
I might learn to keep my mouth shut
[Chorus]
Bm                        D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                        D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                        D  C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh
[Verse 5]
Bm                       D  Bm
There's a pause before the howl

Bm                    D  Bm
And I'm well past feral now

Bm            D  C
Liberated and joyous
[Verse 6]
Bm                       D  Bm
Curtains open, necks are craned

Bm                        D  Bm
Shady heads in burnt wood frames

Bm                  D  C
Then the rumble from within
[Bridge]
G                  A
The insanity is catching

          Bm           C
As out of doors like hatchlings

G                    A
The people leave their houses

          Bm          C
In barely more than blouses

         G
This is fun

         A
This is fun

         Bm           C
It's the most fun I remember.

         G
This is fun

         A
This is fun

         Bm           C
It's the most fun I remember.
[Outro]
          G
It's the fight

          A
It's the fight

          Bm                 C
It's the fight that we are winning

          G
It's the fight

          A
It's the fight

          Bm                 C
It's the fight that we are winning

          G
It's the fight

          A
It's the fight

          Bm                 C
It's the fight that we are winning

          G
It's the fight

          A
It's the fight

         Bm                 C
It's the fight that we are winning
[Chorus]
Bm                       D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                       D  Bm
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

Bm                       D  C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh

C
Wo,  oh,  oh,  oh, oh,  oh
