Mountain Goats - Dilaudid Chords

This song sounds awesome with the string quartet but you can play it on guitar too.

Em                    C           D
The reception's gotten fuzzy

Em                    C           D
The delicate balance has shifted

C                           Em
Put on your gloves and your black pumps

C                         B
Let's pretend the fog has lifted

Em      C        D
Now you see me

Em      C        D
Now you don't

C               Em
Now you say you love me

C               B
Pretty soon you won't

     Em                           C
If we get our full three score and ten

A                       B
We won't pass this way again

                           Em        D
So kiss me with your mouth open

C                         B
Turn the tires toward the street

         Em
And stay sweet

Em                       C           D
All the chickens come on home to roost

Em                            C      D
Plump bodies blotting out the sky

C                              Em
You know it breaks my heart in half, in half

C                         B
When I see them trying to fly

                      Em      C     D
'Cause you just can't do

Em                      C           D
Things your body wasn't meant to

C            Em
Hike up your fishnets

C      B
I know you

      Em                            C
If we live to see the other side of this

A                    B
I will remember your kiss

                         Em         D
So do it with your mouth open

C                             B
And take your foot off of the brake

             Em
For Christ's sake
