Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Can't deal with all this [A]undergrowth talk
It just [Em]trips my feet and tangles
[A]up my thoughts
You're try[G]ing to sell me your new faith
[A]Tell me why you'd do [D]it
And your [G]hands are clenched
And you're talking low
With your [Bm]eye s like flames
Your voice like snow
[G]Someone dug a pit for you
[Em]And you fell right in[A]to it.
[G]Tell me how the universe
was meant to be
[A]Take another sip of your [D]cola
[G]You be the colonel of the cavalry
I'll [A]be Francis [Bm]Ford [G]Coppola
We'll go together through
the jungle night
'Til the [Bm]moon and stars
fade out of sight
[G]Waiting for the dawn [A]to come[D][G]
Here in [D]Angola[G][D][G][D][G][D]
I can't remember how you [A]got this way
I can [Em]still recall you in [A]a younger day
The [G]earnestness still [A]drips off
you like [D]butter
And you [G]fling round words in a holy war
And you [Bm]look so vague,
but seem so sure
[G]Don't you ever just want to [Em]break
right down and [A]stutter
[G]Tell me how the universe
was meant to be
[A]Take another sip of your [D]cola
[G]You be the colonel of the cavalry
I'll [A]be Francis [Bm]Ford [G]Coppola
We'll go together through
the jungle night
'Til the [Bm]moon and stars
fade out of sight
[G]Waiting for the dawn to [A]come[D][G]
Here in [D]Angola[G]
[Gm]Ah, why don't you [D]let it go
[G]Ah, [Bb]you'[Gm]d be too wise[D]
[F#m]to know
[G]That time will [A]get you anyway
[G]It's at [A]your door tod[Bb]ay.[Gm][C][Bb][Gm]
[C][Bb][C][F][Dm][Bb][C][Bb]
[C][Bb][C][D]
I can't deal with these [A]periscope views
And [Em]the caveman scrawl
that [A]you call news
[G]Hey, why don't you make a not
[A]to cancel your next vis[D]it
Well, I [G]knew that things were
getting out of control
When [Bm]you found your faith and lost your soul
If there's [G]something you'd
rather die [Em]than compromise
What [A]is it?
[G]Tell me how the universe
was meant to be
[A]Take another sip of your [D]cola
[G]You be the colonel of the cavalry
I'll [A]be Francis [Bm]Ford [G]Coppola
We'll go together through the jungle night
As the [Bm]moon and stars fade out of sight
[G]Waiting for the dawn [A]to come
