Mountain Goats - Collapsing Stars
Tuning: Standard
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 A
the grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool,
G A
well you looked me in the eye,
Dm G
ready to die.
Dm A
we 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 A
we 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 A
catch 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 Dm
pack 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 A
we 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 A
another love like ours,
Dm
collapsing stars.
Outro: Dm A G Dm (x3), Dm A Dm
