                                      E2
1I will be with you when you lose your breath
                C3                                      E4
2Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
                                   C5
3With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
                                 E6
4That was doing her thing on your chest
                C7
5But oh comely
                                    G8
6It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess

8In your memory you're drunk on your artery
   C9                          E10
9It doesn't mean anything at all

12Oh comely
                                    E12
13All of your friends are letting you blow
                   C13
14Bristling and ugly
                                          E14
15Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
                                 C15
16Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
                                                E16
17You could need to say comforting things in your ear
                 C17
18But oh comely
                                                G18
19There isn't such one friend that you could find here
20
21Standing next to me
22
23He's only my enemy
     C19
24I'll crush him with everything I own

30Your father made fetuses
31
32With flesh licking ladies
      C33
33While you and your mother
34
35Were asleep in the trailer park
E34
36Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
    C35
37The music and medicine you needed for comforting
   E36
38So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
    C37
39And pluck all your silly strings
40
41And bend all your notes for me
E38
42Soft silly music is meaningful magical
    C39
43The movements were beautiful
44
45All in your ovaries
E40
46All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
      C41
47While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
E42
48Smelling of semen all under the garden
    C43
49Was all you were needing when you still believed in me

E46
55I know they buried her body with others
    C47
56Her sister and mother and 500 families
    E48
57And will she remember me 50 years later
  C49
58I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine

   C51
60We know who are enemies are

    Am56
69But now we move to feel
70
71For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
