  Asus                                A - A4 - A - A4 
The smallest part of me is an echoing cavern 
G                               A              Asus 
Waiting to be filled with the light of your lantern 
Dsus2                                  A - A4 - A - A4 
Kerosene careens from your grip onto the floor 
           G                           A               Asus 
And you're looking to the place you think I might have torn 
 Dsus2                                      A - A4 - A - A4 
My bag it holds a camera sniffing salts and rakes 
  G                                   A        Asus 
A brownish hand recorder to put the sounds to tape 
 Asus                               A - A4 - A - A4 
To play back for you later on inauguration day 
       G                               A          Asus 
And you will teach me slowly how to pronounce your name 

G                Asus 
Sweet, sweet Magdalene 
A                  Bm     A 
Build your time machine 
    G                    Asus 
I'm sturdy like the sewer line 
        G            A 
But I'm one dead Nazarene 
G                Asus 
Come invade my prison 
A              Bm  A 
Come up to my cell 
             G 
Oh, what the hell 
                           Asus 
We'll stay a spell tonight babe 
               A 
And I'll make love to you 
     G    A     Asus 
The whole night through 
  

 Dsus2                                           A - A4 - A - A4          
You warned you would find bleeding, A crease in my long back 
         G  
This is long before you knew me 
        A               Asus 
I was a slave to hearts attack 
Asus                                             A - A4 - A - A4 
You need it like a train track needs its pins and spikes 
        G                                    A              Asus 
And the town below the damn falls needs its gutter and it's dice 

G               Asus 
Sweet sweet Magdalene 
A                 Bm     A 
Build your time machine 
    G                 Asus 
I'm sturdy like the sewer line 
        G            A 
But I'm one dead Nazarene 
G              Asus 
Come invade my prison 
A              Bm  A 
Come up to my cell 
             G 
Oh, what the hell 
                           Asus 
We'll stay a spell tonight babe 
                 A 
And I'll make love to you 
     G    A     Asus 
The whole night through 
     G    A      Bm 
The whole night through 
     G    A      Bm 
The whole night through 
     G    A     Asus 
The whole night through
