  • silver bullet suicides,
    *Dm *Am
    and messianic ocean tides,
  • *Dm *Am
    and racial roller-coaster rides
    *Bb *A

    Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come
    F x x x Cm x x x
  • till every taste is on the tongue,
    Bb x x x Dm x x x
    till love is pierced and love is hung,
  • Bb x x x Dm x x x
    and every kind of freedom done, then
    *Am *F *Am *F *Am *F
  • oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,...
