Verse I
[Bm] One [A]hand on this [G]wily [D]comet,
[Bm] Take[A] a drink just to [D]give me some weight,
[Bm] Some [A]uber-man [G]I'd [D]make,
[G] I'm barely a vapor[A]
[Bm] They sh[A]one a c[G]hlorine l[D]ight on,
[Bm] A host [A]of indi[D]vidual sins,
[Bm] Let's c[A]arve my[G] aging fa[D]ce off,
[A]Fetch us a k[D]nife,
[A]Start with my[D] eyes,
[A]Down so the l[D]ines,
Form a g[G]rimacing [A]smile,
[Bm] Clos[A]e your eyes t[G]o corral[D] a virtue,
[Bm] Is t[A]his fooling [D]anyone else?
[Bm] Neve[A]r worked so l[G]ong and [D]hard,
[G] To cement a [A]failure,
[Bm] We can b[A]low on our [G]thumbs a[D]nd posture,
[Bm] But the [A]lonely are such d[D]elicate things,
[Bm] The [A]wind from a w[G]asp c[D]ould blow them,
[A]Into the [D]sea,
[A]With ston[D]es on their feet,
[A]Lost to t[D]he light and the [G]loving we [A]need,
Chorus:
[G] Still to [D]come,
[G] The worst [D]part and you [A]know it,
[G] There is a[D] numbness,
[G] In your he[D]art and it's [A]growing,[Bm]
=Solo Section= Repeat 2x
*you can whistle if you'd like. that's what I do.*

Verse II:
[Bm] With bur[A]nt sage and[G] a fores[D]t of bygones,
[Bm] I click my h[A]eels, get the [D]devils in line,
[Bm] A list o[A]f things I [G]could la[D]y the blame on,
[G] Might give me a wa[A]y out,
[Bm] But with each [A]turn it stays [G]front and c[D]enter,
[Bm] Like a [A]dart stuck [D]square in your eye,
[Bm] Every [A]post you can h[G]itch your f[D]aith on,
[A] Is a pie in t[D]he sky,
[A] Chock full of[D] lies,
[A]A tool we devi[D]se,
[G]To make sinkin[A]g stones fly,
Chorus:
[G] Still to [D]come,
[G] The worst [D]part and you [A]know it,
[G] There is a[D] numbness,
[G] In your he[D]art and it's [A]growing,[Bm]
