Intro Dm- Dm A
when we hid out behind the risers at the high school,
G Dm working bitter calculations with a slide rule.
Dm Athe grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool,
- G A
well you looked me in the eye,
Dm G ready to die.
Dm Awe were becoming what we are,
- Dm
collapsing stars.
- Dm A
when we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubble gum,
G Dm til our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums
Dm Awe knew if we waited long enough the change would come.
- G A
and then the day did come and at last
Dm G hold tight. hold fast.
Dm Acatch lightning in a jar,
- Dm
collapsing stars.
- G Dm
I told you to load up on provisions,
G Dm because we wouldn't be back for a while.
G Dmpack up your troubles in your old kit bag
- G A
turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile.
- Dm A
when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies,
G Dm stuffed our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves,
Dm Awe are going to come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves
- G A
one day, and we are on our way.
Dm G you can look, but you won't find
Dm Aanother love like ours,
- Dm
collapsing stars.
