The Mountain Goats – Letter From Belgium (Guitar)

A                                G
Martin calls to say he's sending old electrical equipment

Dsus2/F#                                   A
That's good, we can always use some more electrical equipment

A
In the cold clear light of day down here

G
Everyone's a monster

       Dsus2/F#
That's cool with all of us

           A                                  A
We've been past the point of help since early April

D               A
 Susan and her notebook

D                        A
Freehand drawings of Lon Chaney

D                 A
Blueprints for geodesic domes

D           F
Recipes for cake

            A
Yeah, we're all here

            G
Chewing our tongues off

Dsus2/F#                      A
 Waiting for the fever to break

A                                         G                              Dsus2/F#
When we walk out in the sunlight we tell everyone we know it hurts our eyes

                                         A                                A
When the real reason we don't like it is that it makes us wonder if we're dying

    A                                   G
And Martin's found an old trunk full of stage makeup in the basement

         Dsus2/F#                 A
And he's sending it along, we can always use more makeup

      A      G      Dsus2/F#     A
Yeah, more   creams          and powders

D                    A
And Carrie's got the feeling

D                    A
That the people next door

D                    A
Will close in like a wolf pack

D                           F
Should we make one small mistake

            A
Yeah, we're all here

            G
Chewing our tongues off

Dsus2/F#                      A
 Waiting for the fever to break
