[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
