verse: 

Cadd9            Am/C 
saw a rising red lung 
Cadd9            Gmadd4 
glisten under the sun 
Cadd9                Gmadd4 
i wonder when it will pop 
       Fadd4 (only one bar) 
in the snow 

Cadd9            Am/C 
the melody?s a mistake 
Cadd9            Gmadd4 
an embrace at the wake 
Cadd9           Gmadd4 
how long does it take 
          Fadd4 
for us to know 

Cadd9                    Am/C 
i want a wig that?s been blown 
Cadd9         Gmadd4 
by something unknown 
Cadd9         Gmadd4 
buried under a mile 
   Fadd4 
of snow 

Cadd9               Am/C 
found a fix for the fits 
Cadd9         Gmadd4 
come listen to this 
Cadd9           Gmadd4 
as intimate as a kiss 
       Fadd4 
over a phone 
        Dm9 
and it goes?

like a powerful smile 
Cadd9      Gmadd4 
a car radio dial
