[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
It's not open to the public
until [Am]spring[G]
[D]When the renovation[G]s
[Am]are [F]complete[F#dim]
[Em]It's not a bird, [Eb]not a p[Em]lane,
[Am]or anyth[G#]ing[Am]
[G]It's the [D]most wonderful [Em]thing we've
[Am]ever seen[F][Em]
My life's work, my dream [Am]come true
[G]It's the newest new and new
[Am][F#dim]
[Bm]At this poin[Em]t, I'll have to
[Am]tell you what it is
It's the mu[G]seum of human
[F#dim]suffering[G]
[C]We have splayed across the foyer,
inordinately [Am]bled
[E]The carcass of [F#]our saviour who
rose from the [Bm]dead
[Cm][Bm][Cm]

[Verse 2]
[F]Victims of dro[Bb]ught, and fam[Bdim] ine,
[Cm]and fetuses aban[Dbm]doned
[Dbdim]Are waiti[Dm]ng here to be[Bb]
[F]ad [G]mired[Cm]
And at the [Eb]center, set [Ebm]to expire
My [Dm]punctured b[G]leeding heart
of de[Cm]sire[Eb][G]
[A]Just for a minute, watch me,

[Verse 3]
[Faug]please
Oh, [Dm]watch my [G]heart bleed,
tell [Cm]me (T[F]erra, Terra, Terra)[F#]
[A]Just for a minute, [F#]give it a squeeze
[Dm]Feel my [G]disease, remember [Cm]me (Terra,
[Gb]Terra, Terra, Terra)[Gbdim]
[Adim]Just for a moment,
just for a [Dm]second
Please remem[G]ber me, please
remember me [Cm](Terra, Terra, —a)
[F]I'm[Bb]

[Verse 4]
[B]abl[Em]e to forget
in the com[Am]pany of others
[G]And I'm able to forget [Gbdim]in
restaurants' en[Bm]trees
To [Em]find myself with every breath
In every [Am]night, in every bed
In [G]any [Am]hotel [G]room in the [D]world
[G]She comes writh[F#dim]ing back[F]
[G]Like a talented pestilence,
she unzips the air
[F#]Like [F#sus4]a virtu ous[F#] pin[F#sus4]k
[F#]iridescent sludge everywhere
[Bm][Cm][Bm][Cm][F]

[Verse 5]
And I said,
[Bb]"Take me to your [Bdim]holy land
And [Cm]take me by the [C#dim]hand"
[Dm]And would you tell me[G]
[Cm]If I'm remembered by t[Eb]he
[Ebm]saints up here
[Dm]If they've [G]been to my famous
mu[Cm]seum[G]
[F#]Just for a second, [Adim]just for a mo

[Verse 6]
[Gb]ment
[Dm]Just for a [G]minute more,
[Cm]tell me [F](Terra, Terra, Terra)
[F#]Just for a second, just [F#m]for a mo m[Dm]ent
Every[G]body please, tell [Cm]me (Terra,
[F#dim]Terra, Terra, Terra)[F#]
Take off my [F#m]corpse, shake his [Dm]hand
Tell your [G]son, "He was a [Cm]great man"[F]
[Eb][G][Eb][Ebm][Eb][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[C#m][Cm]
[F]Dig up [Eb]my bones
So pan yourself a flute
[Ab]Play along to this tune
[Dm]Ohh—ohhh[G]

[Outro 1]
