[Intro]

[Verse]
E           C
■ Oh Comely ■
                                      E     
I will be with you when you lose your breath
                 C                                       E   
Chasing the only ■ meaningful memory you thought you had left
          E                       
With some pretty bright and bubbly
C                                               E    
Terrible scene that was doing her thing on your chest
              C
But oh Comely ■


[Chorus]
                                    G                   
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess in your memory
                G             
You're drunk on your awe to me
   C                           
It doesn't mean anything at all
E         C
Oh Comely ■


[Verse]
                                        E   
All of your friends are all letting you blow
                   C
Bristling and ugly ■
                                          E    
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
                                 C     
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
                                                E  
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
              C
But oh Comely ■
                                                G   
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
                 G 
Standing next to me
          G       
He's only my enemy
     C                           Cmaj7 C  
I'll crush him with everything I ■     own


[Chorus]
E                                                     
Say what you want to say and hang for your hollow ways
G                                      E             
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles aimed
C     
For me

[Verse]
E                                                
Your father made fetuses with fleshlicking ladies
          C                                                
While you ■ and your mother were asleep in the trailer park
E                                              
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
C                                               
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
E                                            
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
    C                                                              
And pluck all your silly strings and bend all your notes for me and
E                                     
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
C                                        G      
The movements were beautiful all in your ovaries


[Chorus]
E                                            
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
      C                                          
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
E                                     
Smelling of semen all under the garden
C                                                     
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
E                                          G          
Say what you want to say and hang for your hollow ways
                                       E        Am   
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles aimed

    C 
For me


[Verse]
  E                                    
I know they buried her body with others
    C                                          
Her sister and mother and five hundred families
         E                                
And will she remember me fifty years later
         C                                     G      
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
E                    
Know all your enemies
        C                  
We know who our enemies are
E                      
■ Know all your enemies
   C        Am  D       E Am 
We know who our enemies ■ are

Am               
Goldaline my dear
        Am                      
We will fold and freeze together
E                 
Far away from here
         E                               
There is sun and spring and green forever
Am                                   
But now we move to feel for ourselves


[Chorus]
            Am                
Inside some stranger's stomach
E                   
Place your body here
                             Am              
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
E Am E7 E E7 E E7 Am
