Am C After the longest night Em Am Stepping out into a new daylight Am C Beer ice cold in my hand Em Dm Like I’m on my way, like I had Am C Plenty not to talk about Em Am Stopping for a burger at the in-and-out, waiting in line Am C For the prophecy Em Dm How we took our turns to be Am C Strung out like some powder in a bag of skin Em Am Last night I could have sworn I was dying Am C Cicadas singing at my window, signs Em Dm Proclaim the end is nigh C Em But not tonight Am C California, ooh Em Am I keep slipping on the tossing like I’m sick again Am C Ooh white light white heat all night Em Am Heart beating in my chest like a kettle drum Am C California, ooh Em Am I keep slipping on the tossing like I’m sick again Am C Ooh white light white heat all night Em Am Heart beating in my chest like a jackhammer Am C What of the unfinished symphonies Em Am Immigration infamies, my head rings like the liberty bell Am C Sweating like a winner on a hot day Em Dm Sinner, say what, say nothing if you’ve nothing to sell Am C Every time I open up my mealy mouth Em Am This tiny wee sound comes out, I’m spitting it out in the doubt Am C I hear my heart like a back-beat Em Dm Something incomplete, no midnight choir Am Em No love over desire Chorus (2x)
