_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] Hello.
_ _ _ _ [E] Good weekend!

[Gm] So I thank you.
[C] _ _
_ Putting up with the [Gm] perfunctory [C] _ thunderstorms.

Turn around, [Cm] there's a thunderstorm behind you all the time.
[C] Look at that! _
And it's gone.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] It's like that chick on the [G] bus.

_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] She real.
[C] _ _ I'm all wet.

[C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ Nationals have _ [Dm] monopolized, no doubt, [G] the oxen.
[C] Don't have the easiest breathing for us [F] all to [C] participate. _
[G] _ _ _ _ Yeah, yeah, [C] they're buying and selling off shares of air.
And you know [Dm] it's all around you.
But it's hard to point and [G] say, there.
[C] So you just sit on your hands [F] and quietly _ [C] contemplate _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _
your next [C] bold move.

_ Next [C] thing we're gonna [F] need to prove [D] to _ _ [G] _ [C] ourselves. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
And _ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ then you [N] strangle back to its [G] source and then scream.
Well, the [N] faucet till your face is sores.
Cause you're surrounded by a [A#] world's worth of things you just [G] can't excuse.
[C] But [G] _ _ _

And you're [Dm] at the Arctic Circle _ playing strip [D] poker.
And it's getting cold [C]
and cold [Fm] every [C] time you lose. _
