[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I [C]saw your [G]le gends lined up
And I never felt more [Am]natural
[Em]Apart, [Am]I just came [Em]apart
[G]Please, please, please sister Socrates

[Verse 2]
[G]
You always answer with
a question
Show some kindness to a petty [Am]thief
[C]Forgive, [Em]you d[Am]id forgi[Em]ve
Watch the [C]mi grants smoke

[Verse 3]
in the [D]old orange grove
And the [G]red rocket [C]blaze over
Cape Canaveral
You've been a father to me
In [D]1960's speak
In the [G]comatose joy that we're [C]on TV
While the mountain's [Am]side was shining
[C]Wild color[Am]s of my destiny
[G]

[Verse 4]
I watched your [Am]face age [C]backwards
Changing shape in my [G]memory
You told me [Am]victory's sweet
[C]Even deep in [Am]the cheap seat
[G]s

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][Em][Am]
[C][Em]
[G]Hey, hey, hey mother interstate

[Verse 5]
Can you deliver me from evil
Make me honest make me
wedding [Am]cake
[Em]Atone, [Am]I will [C]atone[Em]
[G]Wait, wait, wait

[Verse 6]
mighty outer-space
All All that flying saucer terror
Made me lazy drinking [Am]lemonade
A [Em]waste, it just [Am]went [Em]to waste
[C]Like the

[Verse 7]
Freon cold out the [D]hotel door
Or the [G]white rocket fade [C]over
Cape Canaveral
You've been a daughter to me
Your buried [D]shoe-box grief
grief
I felt your [G]poltergeist [C]love
[G]like Sa[C]vannah heat
While the [Am]wa terfall was p[C]ouring
Crazy [Am]sym bols of my d[C]estiny[G]
I watched your [Am]face

[Verse 8]
die backwards
Little baby in my [C]memory[G]
You told me [Am]victory's sweet
Even deep in the cheap
seat[G]s

[Verse 9]
[C]
And you don't judge [Em]me
[C]That's not you[D]r style
[C]But I won't see you[Em] for a[Bm]
[C]little while
And there's no wor[Em]ries[C]
Whose [Bm]got time[D][C]
All these [Em]changes are go
[C]ing to [D]fill your mind
Like the [C]citrus

[Verse 10]
glow off the [D]old orange grove
Or the [G]red rocket [C]blaze
over Cape Canaveral
It's been a nightmare to me
[D]Some 1980's grief
Gives me [G]parachute [C]dreams
Like old war movies
While the [Am]universe was drawn
Perfect circles form in[C]finity[G]
I watched the [Am]stars

[Verse 11]
get smaller
Tiny [C]diamonds in my [Am]memory[G]
I know that [Am]victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seat[G]s
