The Charging Sky

      C      G                F   C
If I run uphill I'm out of breath
            C        G          F
If I spend all of my money I've 
             C
got no money left
            C         G         F
If I place all of my chips on 
       C
only one bet
C    F  G
I'm all in

            C       G           
And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna 
   F  C
die
       C            G       F    
So I'm taking up praying on 
   C
Sunday nights
          C              G      F
And it's not that I believe in 
      C
your almight
        C    F  G
But I might as well
      F   C      G
as insurance or bail

           C               G 
Cause institution's like a big 
           F  C
bright lie
        C               G     
And it blinds you into fear and 
      F          C
consuming and fight

And you've been in the desert 
       G         F       C
underneath the charging sky
           C   F   G
It's just you and God
             F     C    G
But what if God's not there?
          F     C        G
But his name is on your dollar bill
        F   C      G
Which just became cab fare

         C                G       
For the Evangelist, the Communist,
      F             C
 the Lefts and the Rights
          C                 G     
And the hypocrites and the Jesuits
          F             C
 and the blacks and the whites
            C     F       G
It's in the belly of the beast
        F   C   G
In the Atlanta streets
           F C   G
Or up in Laurel Canyon
              F C   G
The verge of Middle East

               C            G 
Still they're dying on the dark 
       F   C
continent
           C                G     
It's been happening long enough to
   F     C
 mention it
        C            G        
Have I mentioned my parents are 
                  F       C
getting back together again
          C F  G
It's been 25 years
       F C      G
Of spreading infection
          F    C     G
Somehow we're not affected

        C       G           F  C
So my mom, she brushes her hair
        C          G       
And my dad starts growing Bob 
F           C
Dylan's beard
        C             G        F 
And I share with my friends a 
        C
couple of beers
          C  F   G
In the Orlando streets
        F     C       G
In the belly of the beast...
