As Many Candles As Possible

G Am  G Am  G F  G Am

[Verse 1]
G Am
When stray dogs finally catch you in the alley
G Am                                      G F
You don’t consider their point of view

But when the wounds are healed

And the scars are shiny
G Am
Sometimes then you do


[Chorus]
G F
The terms are vicious
              G Am
Time is tight
       Em F             Am
No one gets too much light


[Verse 2]
G Am
When you see the risen beast in your nightmares
Continúa después del anuncio
G Am
You treat him like a long-lost brother
G F                                                      G Am
But when you pass him on the streets of the city by day

You pretend you don’t recognize each other


[Chorus]
             G F
The lake is boiling
                    G Am
The fish won’t bite
       Em F                Am
No one gets too much light


[Bridge]
             C
Seek out a cave by the ocean while you wait out the rain
Am
Dial down the weak bits and crank up the gain
C
Listen for the prophecy somewhere in the static
F
Once you’ve saddled up your pony
G
Burn down the paddock


[Interlude]
Am C Am F   G Am  G Am  G Am  G F


[Verse 3]
G Am
When pigs gather in the sty to greet the sunrise

They all begin to squeal with joy
G F
It doesn't sound like joy to the untrained ear
G Am
And there's plenty of distortion and it's not real clear


[Chorus]
                        G F
You've got a friend downstairs
                   G Am
He howls all night
        Em F                  Am
No one gets too much light
