[INTRO]
Dm
[VERSE 1]
Dm
God is not a contract or a guy
Dm
God is an unspecified tide
Dm A7
You cannot time its tables
F A7
It sets no glass or gables
Dm A7 Dm
God is a lusty tire fire
Dm A7
Its bristles scrape and strike the stage
F A7
A rock paper scissors rage
Dm A7 Dm
Have mercy on the natural world
[VERSE 2]
Dm A7 F A7
My voice is not the liquid waves
Dm A7 F A7
The perfect ring 'round a heron's legs
Dm A7
My voice is straight garotting wire
F A7
A stolen mile of fingerprints
Dm A7
Hear the quiet from the dunes
F A7
Captured and respooled as ruin
Dm A7 Dm
To be used at a different time
Dm
My voice is a frature for shinbone's lust
A7 F A7
Pounding barefoot ground it lifts you up and sits you just
Dm A7
Just at sorrows waterline
F A7
I drape you on tomorrow's plate
Dm A7 F A7
Ferrous metal marrow spilling not yours but mine
Dm A7 Dm Bb7
I'm an agent of the natural world
[CHORUS]
A7
Don't you tell me I didn't warn you
F
That that's some gravity ought not to play with
A7
Don't you tell me I didn't warn you
F
That that's some gravity ought not to play with
[BRIDGE]
C F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
C F
Nothin quite so poison as a promise
[INTERLUDE]
Am F Am F
Dm A7 F A7
Dm A7 F A7
[VERSE 3]
F
And me, I am not a myth
A7 Dm A7
I am a wilderness, yes
F A7
The undiscovered continent
Dm A7
For you to undress
Dm A7
But you'll not be my master
F A7
You're barely my guest
Dm A7 F A7
You don't have permission to take any pictures
Dm A7 Dm
Be careful of the natural world
Dm A7
Nature can't ammend its ways
F A7 A7/C# A7
Boils Hell-On and then we play
Dm A7
Despite heartfelt springtimes of regret
F A7
The storm, she still cries for days
Dm A7 Bb7
Have mercy on the natural world
