Tachycardia

(last being loudest)

[Verse 1]

C       Em
It's a mass grave
Dm      C
A dollar-fifty resting place
C       Em
On the north face
Dm      G
It's a rope I've gotta climb
Am              G       F       Em
I'm a stone's throw from everyone I love and know
Am      Em      F       G
But I can't show up looking like I do
C       Em      Dm      C
In an old suit my hair is slicked up back nice and smooth
C       Em      Dm      G
In a courtroom, sweat rolling down my back
Am      G       F       Em
It's a bad dream.   I have it seven times a week
Am      G       F       Em
No it's not me.    But I'm the one who has to die

[Verse 2]

C       Em      Dm      C
Needs a cold draw to slow his tachycardia
C       Em      Dm      G
In a dark bar the world just melts away
Am      G       F       Em
And he feels fine If he can just lose track of time
Am      Em      F       G
It's a good sign when he can't stay awake
C       Em      Dm      C
On a slow day the rain against the windowpane
C       Em      Dm      G
of the cafe She spills the coffee grounds
Am      G       F       Em
And the same thought hits her like cinder block
Am      Em      F       G                 C
Life's an odd job that she don't got the nerve to quit

[Instrumental 2]

C       Em      Dm      C

C       Em      Dm      G

(harmonica and piano)
G       G

[Verse 3]

C           Em
Yeah it's just there
Dm      G       C
At the bottom of those spiral stairs
C       Em      Dm
It's the World's Fair
G       C
The future's on display
A       G
In the still night
F       Em
They turned on the electric lights
Am      Em
And the crowd cried out
F       G       C
Everyone looks so amazed

[Instrumental 3]
