[Intro]
G Am G Am G F G Am
[Verse 1]
G Am When stray dogs finally catch you in the alley G Am G F You don’t consider their point of view
But when the wounds are healed
And the scars are shiny
G Am Sometimes then you do
[Chorus]
G F The terms are vicious G Am Time is tight Em F Am No one gets too much light
[Verse 2]
G Am When you see the risen beast in your nightmares G Am You treat him like a long-lost brother G F G Am But when you pass him on the streets of the city by day
You pretend you don’t recognize each other
[Chorus]
G F The lake is boiling G Am The fish won’t bite Em F Am No one gets too much light
[Bridge]
C Seek out a cave by the ocean while you wait out the rain Am Dial down the weak bits and crank up the gain C Listen for the prophecy somewhere in the static F Once you’ve saddled up your pony G Burn down the paddock
[Interlude]
Am C Am F G Am G Am G Am G F
[Verse 3]
G Am When pigs gather in the sty to greet the sunrise
They all begin to squeal with joy
G F It doesn't sound like joy to the untrained ear G Am And there's plenty of distortion and it's not real clear
[Chorus]
G F You've got a friend downstairs G Am He howls all night Em F Am No one gets too much light
[Outro]
G Am G F G Am
