verse 1
G
We all woke up that morning
Am C
Claw marks on our little faces
G Em
The dull thud from the treetops
C D7
The echo in the hollow places
C G
Rose up high and lonely
C G
Wringing my hands, grinding my teeth
Em G
All the triumph overhead
C D G
All the disaster underneath
verse 2
G
Spat out my morning prayers
Am C
Desperate pleas and vicious lies
G Em
Felt the sunlight through the grating
C D7
Covered up my eyes
C G
Woke up feeling awful
C G
Shook my head to drive the ghosts way
Em G
This is just a flesh wound
C D
And it will clear up any day
C G
But the present i got planned for you pricks
C D7
Is gonna be a little harder to fix
G C
Thank god
G C
For small favors
G D7 G
In high doses
verse 3
G
Heard the voices through the air vents
Am C
Listen to them squeal
G Em
The great big world is out there
C D7
The hidden one beneath my heel
C G
Called up my sister in Reseda
C G
Left a message at the tone
Em G
All the points where contact fails us
C D G
All of the dead spots in the zone
verse 4
G
And the acid in my throat
Am C
Every time i try to talk
G Em
The songs that keep me up at night
C D7
Standing on that solid rock
C G
Rose up high and dry and lonely
C G
Stumbled coming out the gate
Em G
This is just a paper cut
C D
And it will scab over just you wait
C G
But the cuts that i'll shortly being dealing out
C D7
Are gonna give you something to cry about
G C
Thank god
G C
For small favors
G D7 G
In high doses
