Sufjan Stevens - The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us Chords

[Intro]
D Bm(b13) G Em7
D Bm(b13) G Em7


[Verse 1]
D                     Bm(b13)
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
  G                       Em7
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
D                       Bm(b13)
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
  G                        Em7
I see my own breath on the face of the door

D       Bm(b13)
Oh I am not quite sleeping
G       Em7
Oh I am fast in bed
D                           Bm(b13)
The-here on the wall in the bedroom creeping
G                     Em7
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched

[Verse 2]
D                   Bm(b13)
North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
G                     Em7
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
D                        Bm(b13)
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
G                   Em7
He runs washing his face in his hands

D        Bm(b13)
Oh how I meant to tease him
G        Em7
Oh how I meant no harm
D                         Bm(b13)
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
G                     Em7
I see the wasp on the length of my arm

[Bridge 1]
D           Asus4                    Emadd9/B
  I can't explain the state that I'm in
                G*                    D
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
         Asus4              Emadd9/B
Into the car, from the back seat
       G*                 D/A
Oh admiration in falling asleep
          Asus4             Em9/B
All of my powers, day after day
      G                          D/A
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
            Asus4                 Em9/B
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
      G                          D/A
I can tell you, the telling gets old


[Bridge 2]
         Asus4     A        Em9/B
Terrible sting and terrible storm
(Oh great sights upon)
      G                        D/A
I can tell you the day we were born
(this state! Hallelujah!)
             Asus4 A      Em9/B
My friend is gone, he ran away
(Won-ders bright, and ri-)
      G                         D/A
I can tell you, I love him each day
(-vers, lake. Hallelujah!)
               Asus4    A            Em9
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
(Trail of Tears and Horse-)
      G                        D/F#
I can tell you I love him each day
(-shoe Lake. Hallelujah!)


[Bridge 3]
         Asus4/E A/E     Em9
Terrible sting, terrible storm
(Trus-ting things be-yond)
((We were in love, we were in love, Palisades))
      G
I can tell you...
(mis-take. Hallelu-)
((Palisades, I can wait, I can wait))
