Intro
Am  G (x4)
        Am
We were martyred in the homes of our friends
     G
on a hard drinking decade of weekends
   Am
convinced that we were firing
    G
our lasers to the surface of the moon
Am
retreat to all the noise, out to the places that
G
we would go
Am
pound that pussy, bloody swollen cyst off with a
G
weather-treated two by four
F
praying for the singularity
C                       G
coming for to carry you home
F
one-time hero forgotten how
   C                   G
to carry your given load
F                                    Am G      Dm  F

Am
Chico the American taught me to drink clear
      G
which ushered in the Age of Gin and lead to the Gimlet Years
        Am
When he lobbed that crystal tumbler through the glass cooler door
         G
past the blues band in the strip mall with a barrel-chested roar
       F
it was just as funny but less blood
          C         G
than the ‘62 Dakota war
F
praying for the singularity
C                       G
coming for to carry you home
