[Verse]
Dm                     C    G
Evil S I yes to find a shore
  C                  G         F   
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
    Dm                  C                  F    
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
            Am                           F  
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Dm                       C    G
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
   C                 G             F     
Or paint or write or try to make a change
    Dm            C               F   
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
            Am                        F   
And I don't have to love or think too much

[Refrain]
ADm     C      F     A              Bb      
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
ADm    C       F    A             Bb 
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
ADm      C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C   
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

[Interlude]
C  C/Bb  Am7 A7/C#

[Verse]
Dm                                C    G
Christ is cursed of fathers and mothers
      C           G                F   
Might even take a knife to split a hair
   Dm             C               F   
Or even scare the children off my lawn
          Am                         F    
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Dm                        C    G
Every mess invested was a score
   C            G            F   
We couldn't use computers anymore
         Dm           C                 F    
But it's difficult to win unless you're bored
              Am                           F   
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona
ADm      C      F       A                Bb 
It might take a hundred years to grow an arm
A    Dm      C      F      Gm    A  Bb       A   
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Dm      C       F      A               Bb     
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
ADm   C        F        A            Bb  
My predictions are the only things I have
ADm   C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C   
I can amplify the sound of light and love

I don't know how to begin

                  Bb   
When I open up my mouth
                         F  
There's a reason I don't win
                    C/G  
I don't know how to begin
C/G                   Bb/F 
I'm a curse and I'm a sound
