[Verse]
G C F Hurled to the center of the earth again G Em The place where it’s hot love F G You know it hurts to breathe in G Em Am And the watershed you balance on is begging it Bb D Well did he ever know? Will he ever know? G C F The trees in the moonshine are a dark lattice G Em F G So you catalogue every angle you notice G Em Am In a vacuum you are charged to record this C D C So you won’t make it easy on me
[Chorus]
C G F I can’t go into this no more G C It puts too many thorns on my mind D G And the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor F G F G C We’ve pissed in far too ma-ny Sprites D And they’re all standing up for their rights

[Chorus 2]
C G F Undaunted, you bathe in hollow cries G C The boys with swollen sunburnt eyes D G A reward for letting nothing under their skin F G F G C So help me I don’t know, I might D Bb G Just give the ole Dark Side a try
