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:
A Dm      C      F     A              Bb
  Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
A Dm     C       F    A             Bb
  Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
A Dm       C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C
  Tried to amplify the sound of light and love
 
Interlude: C C Am7 A7   
 
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

Refrain:
A Dm      C       F          A           Bb
  Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona
A  Dm       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
A Dm    C        F        A            Bb
  My predictions are the only things I have
A Dm    C    F      Gm    A  Bb        C
  I can amplify the sound of light and love

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

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