G-Bm-C-D   G-Em-C-G 

verse 1 
Em         G           C             G 
I keep it dumb, do it just like you tell me to 
Em        G            C              D 
I draw it straight as I possibly can 
Em         G           C          G 
I come as close to the truth as I ever do 
Em           G 
I take some liberties 
  C         Am 
I am what I am 
         Em                D 
And that surprises everyone 

 
G       Em      C      G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G     Bm          C            D 
Molotov in your clenched left hand 
G        Em     C        G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G        Bm          C      G 
Your dynamite, your weatherman 

INTRO RIFF 

verse 2 
Em        G                  C         G 
Colliding thoughts, bundled up, indecipherable 
Em             G                C           D 
Jumped on one foot ’till they fell from my ear 
Em         G               C             G 
A garbage sea thick with steel chips & airplane glue 
Em           G            C           Am 
I poured it all in your lap: “Baby, here.” 
       Em                 D 
I was surprised, like anyone 

 
G       Em      C      G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G     Bm          C            D 
Molotov in your clenched left hand 
G        Em     C        G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G        Bm          C      G 
Your dynamite, your weatherman 

Bridge 
 Bm 
A barricade 
  C 
A catalyst 
     D 
An argument for glory over me 

Pre-Chorus 
       Em                 D 
I was surprised, like anyone 

 
G       Em      C      G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G     Bm          C            D 
Molotov in your clenched left hand 
G        Em     C        G 
I wanna be your instigator 
G        Bm          C      G 
Your dynamite, your weatherman
