Dm                       C  G
Evil S I yes to find a shore
   C                  G         F
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
    Dm                    C                 F
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
             Am                          F
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars

Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
Or paint or write or try to make a change
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much

A Dm     C      F      A             A#
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
A Dm    C      F      A            A#
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
A Dm     C     F      Gm   A   A#        C
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Christ is cursed of fathers and martyrs
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs

Every mess invested was a score
We couldn't use computers anymore
But it's difficult to win unless you're bored
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

A Dm     C       F           A          A#
Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona
A Dm      C      F       A               A#
It might take a hundred years to grow an arm
A     Dm      C      F      Gm   A  A#        A
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold

Dm      C       F      A               A#
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
A Dm   C        F      A              A#
My predictions are the only things I have
A Dm  C     F      Gm   A  A#         C
I can amplify the sound of light and love

 C                     A# 
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
                  A#
When I open up my mouth
                         F
There's a reason I don't win
                     C 
I don't know how to begin
                       A# 
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
                  A#
When I open up my mouth
                         F
There's a reason I don't win
                     C 
I don't know how to begin

[Outro with fade out]
 C                     A# 
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
                  A#
When I open up my mouth
                         F
There's a reason I don't win
                     C 
I don't know how to begin
 C                     A# 
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
                  A#
When I open up my mouth
                         F
There's a reason I don't win
                     C 
I don't know how to begin
