Verse III
I[Em]n this local exit [C]highway night
We must [D]grow accustomed to the [Em]sight
And [Am]empty all s[Am7]urprise to see the c[C]apsize of the s[C7]emis
C[Em]ause nothing will stop the worlds p[C]hysics from working
Or the m[D]anner in which its s[Em]ituated and lurking
P[Am]ermanently so [Am7]externally
But theres [C]pleasure and [C7]death in each second to be reckoned with
Verse IV
A[Em]nd theres boredom and sex within [C]each wild minute
And the [D]mildest hour has some [Em]deadly power in it
And [Am]maybe ill cower with [Am7]Yia Yias silk flowers
As the [C]motion sensor light does [C7]brighten and sour
(Strumming Pattern Changes here)
O[Em]n the back patio where the [C]raccoons go
W[D]hining and divining through the [Em]grainy night glow
The [Am]same as me as Im [Am7]fumbling to see
An [C]inch off my face with a [C7]pinch of disgrace
Small Breakdown (no Banjo)
E[Em]ach photo of the summer is [C]one in the same
With a [D]bloodshot number in the [Em]corner of the frame
D[Am]ating each time that we [Am7]became
[C]Memorialized in the [C7]dimming
Repeat Chorus & Intro Riff x2
Verse V
A[Em] bat circles ab[C]ove my brain
As I [D]walk down St. J[Em]oseph in the dusky graininess,
[Am]yes this g[Am7]orgeousness is [C]growing too dark too [C7]mention
W[Em]hat becomes of the [C]summer skin
When it [D]disintegrates in the [Em]blackness of the past
[Am]At last Ive [Am7]become an [C]extension[C7]
Breakdown/Ending of the Dimming
