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
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
