Folk Music Is Insane

                A
It started with wandering
A
contraband
    A            A
the poet blinked twice
        A   A
she can see
    A         A        D   D
the deepest impossible sea
          D         D
and we’re walking together
D           D
singing the songs of
     D   D          E     E
some SOB stuck in a dream
       E
with a dancer
      E       E
and a praying monster
E
don’t you know
E         E             A     A   N.C.
there’s a killer on the road?

            A
Slam cut to present day
 A
America
        A                A
there’s weirdness in the woods
     A    A
I’m alone
      A          A             D     D
and I can’t stop looking at my phone
          D             D
now we’re cheering on assassins
  D           D
adjusting our glasses
   D              D                  E    E
pretending that a verse would set us free
     E
or a bad joke
     E      E
or a single helix
     E       E         E            A      A
it’s all the same to a ghost with a guitar

N.C.            E   E
folk music is insane
N.C.            A   A
folk music is insane

                A
we’re back in a different time
A
who knows where
A                A
I’ve been here before
           A      A
hear those chimes
       A           A                   D    D
of the brand names washed out with the tide
           D           D
and you’re better than ever
     D             D
your mood like the weather
   D               D         E      E
is overcast with a chance of regret
           E
prepared piano
    E
and tape loops
        E         E            E          E         A    A
and the rarest of b-sides have absolutely ruined my life

N.C.            E   E
folk music is insane

folk music is insane

               A
it’s something to behold
         D
but it’s out of reach
        E
and you can’t explain
N.C
you’ll never get close
                A   A
folk music is insane

  A             A
I know it’s not nostalgia
          E              E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D                  D
we can’t escape forever
            E                E
