Lagwagon - The Contortionist Chords

[Intro]
A E G#m C#m B/D#  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
  In a chalk dotted line
E
  Draw a kid left behind
G#m
  Severed limbs in harmony
C#m
  Strumming from a
B/D#
few good deeds
A
  Carry it to survive
E
  To a bed half alive
G#m
  Held before a dozen
     C#m
times   Deep inside a
B
funeral for a friend
 
 
[Verse 2]
A         E
  Runs in portions
     G#m
like film clips
C#m B
Run run
   A
Rundown the list
    E
The memoirist
     G#m
Like kindling
C#m       B/D#
Burn burn burn
and burn down
 
 
[Chorus 1]
E             G#m
  I will stay inside
    A
The saved It's
       C#m B
a good mourning
E             G#m
  They will ignite
             A
you soon The doomed
C#m    B
I will write for you
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
  Of a boy damaged goods
E
  Of a bench understood
G#m
  For a spell the soul resides
C#m           B/D#
  In a yellow chalk outline
A
  Carry on the camel's back
E
  Have another heart attack
G#m
  To the cure I would drive
C#m
  Played that scene
  B
a hundred times to date
 
 
[Verse 4]
A           E
  Today's ambition
     G#m       C#m
to relate In a sustaining
B           A
saccharine state Impart
    E              G#m
the burden and get well
          C#m
It's what everyone
   B/D#
is trying to sell
 
 
[Instrumental]
C#m G#m A B G#/C
C#m G#m C#m B G#/C
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
C#m G#m A B G#/C
C#m G#m A B G#/C
 
Anything you
want it to be
 
 
[Verse 5]
A           E
  Weigh the screenplay
    G#m    C#m
and revise Warp
B/D# A
warp warp with
       E
the contortionist
   G#m        C#m
So hopelessly ill
      B
fated everyday
 
 
[Chorus 3/Outro]
E              G#m
  He will stay inside
    A
The doomed It's a
     C#m B       E
good mourning to loom
             G#m
They will inspire him
    A     C#m     B
The saved Innocently
        C#m   C#m
filling graves
