The Mountain Goats – High Doses 2 (Guitar)

G
We all woke up that morning

Am                  C
Claw marks on our little faces

G                        Em
The dull thud from the treetops

C                 D7
The echo in the hollow places

C                  G
Rose up high and lonely

C                     G
Wringing my hands, grinding my teeth

Em                  G
All the triumph overhead

          C  D           G
All the disaster underneath

G
Spat out my morning prayers

Am                     C
Desperate pleas and vicious lies

G                               Em
Felt the sunlight through the grating

C              D7
Covered up my eyes

C                 G
Woke up feeling awful

C                             G
Shook my head to drive the ghosts way

Em                  G
This is just a flesh wound

C                         D
And it will clear up any day

            C                            G
But the present i got planned for you pricks

C                      D7
Is gonna be a little harder to fix

G         C
Thank god

           G    C
For small favors

    G  D7 G
In high doses

G
Heard the voices through the air vents

Am                   C
Listen to them squeal

G                               Em
The great big world is out there

C                          D7
The hidden one beneath my heel

C                            G
Called up my sister in Reseda

C                         G
Left a message at the tone

Em                              G
All the points where contact fails us

            C  D               G
All of the dead spots in the zone

G
And the acid in my throat

Am            C
Every time i try to talk

G                                 Em
The songs that keep me up at night

C                  D7
Standing on that solid rock

         C                     G
Rose up high and dry and lonely

 C                           G
Stumbled coming out the gate

Em                 G
This is just a paper cut

C                       D
And it will scab over just you wait

         C                               G
But the cuts that i'll shortly being dealing out

C                                 D7
Are gonna give you something to cry about

G        C
Thank god

         G       C
For small favors

     G D7 G
In high doses
