The Mountain Goats – Absolute Lithops Effect (Guitar)

E                               A  E
After one long season of waiting,

                                A  E
After one long season of wanting,

Cmaj7    Dmaj7    E  A  E
I am breaking open.

E                          A  E
My insides are pink and raw

                                  A  E
And it hurts me when I move my jaw

Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
But I am taking tiny steps forward

    Bm7  Asus2
And I, I feel

E
Sure that my wounds will heal

    Bm7       Asus2
And I, I will bloom

E          B
Here in my room

              E     C   C/B   C/A
With a little water

                            E   C   C/B   C/A
And a little bit of sunlight

                    E      Bm7
And a little bit of tender mercy

Asus2  E
Tender mercy

E                                 A  E
The big trucks come up the highway

                                    A  E
And the big wheels rattle my windows

Cmaj7      Dmaj7               E  A  E
And night, night comes to Texas

E                                   A  E
After one blind season alone in here

                                A  E
After one long sweltering summer

Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
I, I'm going to find the exit

    Bm7    Asus2
And I will go

E
To the house of a friend I know

    Bm7       Asus2
And I, I will let

E      B
Myself forget

              E     C   C/B   C/A
With a little water

                            E   C   C/B   C/A
And a little bit of sunlight

                    E      Bm7
And a little bit of tender mercy

Asus2  E
Tender mercy
