[Gm] [Bm] [G]
[D]
[A] [D] This [Gm] place, [Bm] with its old [G] plantations, [D] These roads [A] leading out to the sea,
[D] This [Gm] day, [Bm]
full of promise [G] and potential, More [D] clay pigeons [A] for you and me,
All [D] of them, all of them, [G] all of them, [D] All of them, [G]
[D] all of them, all of them,
[E] All of them, all [D] lined up, [Gm] [Bm] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] [Gm] huge crows, [G] Loitering by the curb, our shared [D] paths,
Unraveling behind us [A] like ribbons, I dreamed [D] of vultures [G] in [Bm]
the trees around
[G] our house, And cicadas, [D] and locusts, and the [E] shrieking
of [A] innumerable gibbons, All of [D] them, all of them, [G] all of [D] them,
All of them, [G]
[D] all of them, all [E] of them, All of them, all [D] lined up,
[E] [A] How long will [D] we ride [G] this wave out?
[Bm]
[A] How long till [D] someone caves [G] under the pressure?
[A] My dreams are haunted [D] by armies, armies [G] of ghosts,
Faces too [A] blurry to make out, numbers far too high to measure,
[D]
Your [Gm] face, like [Bm] a vision straight out [G] of Holly Hobby,
Late [D] light drizzling through [A] your hair, [D] [Gm] Your eyes, [Bm] [G] twin volcanoes,
[D] Bad ideas dancing around in there, All of them, all of them, [G] all [D] of them,
All of them, all of them, all of them, All of them, all lined up,
