Handsome Family - Lake Geneva chords
Start Jamming...
You are crouched before the fire in a [F#m] state marked by the highway
[B] And through the heavy pine trees, tin-tun [A] trucks go [E] roaming by
Like the screams of Hewlett-Barbera who went [F#m] crazy in the seventies
[B] Go pulse to Jimmy Carter but [A] forgot to feed her [E] kid
But it's [G#] the first time you're together since he [A] got out of [E] the hospital
[G#] Raccoons in the darkness [F#m] drag off your hot [B] dog bun
But [E] you're happy just to lie there in your [F#m] plastic tin from Walmart
[B] Like sticks and fallen dead leaves to feed [A] the fire of [E] the world
[F#m]
[B]
[A]
[E]
But which is more important, [F#m] to comfort an old woman
Or [B] see visions of the heavens [A] in stumps of [E] fallen trees
[G#] Albert Einstein trembled when [A] he saw that [E] time was water
[G#] Seeping through the rafters to [A] put out this [B] burning world
[E]
[F#m]
[Bm]
[A]
[A] [E] Next morning you're at Waffle House, [F#m] toasted eggs and hash browns
[B] Truckers chain-smoke camels [A] over plastic [E] cups of beer
And you [G#]
remember how he cried when [A] they strapped him to [E] the stretcher
[G#] Convinced his arms were burning with [A]
electricity [E] from heaven
You [G#] remember how he told you [A] black holes were like [E] Jesus
And [G#] the crucifix was a battery that filled the air with [B]
fire
