[Verse 1]
Take this [B]lightning [C]off of [G]me
Too [Am]won derf[B]ul for m[C]e to k[G]eep

[Am]Agamemnon,
[B]great uly[Bm]sses
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Everybody [D]talkin' bout [Em]the language
[C]of the [G]dead
Antiquated [D]murmurs maybe

I can [B]barely sing a word
[C]

[G]
Fads [B]of the 60's and
[C]the 19th cen[G]tury

[G]

[Verse 4]
Everybody [D]talkin' bout the
[Em]language [C]of the [G]dead

You can [Am]skim [C]through [Bm]every
[D]book they [G]read
You can [C]dress [Am]a little smart[C]er
[Bm]and claim your[D] hit[Bm][G]
But [C]the weight you've been [Bm]seeking,
[D]you lifted [G]it
Plagi[D]arize the twen[Am]ties
you [D]never [Bm]lived
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Take this lightning [G]off of [Bm]me[D]
Too wonderful for [G]me to keep
Throw your [B]idols [C]in to the [G]sea
[Am]Dreamer[Bm] s,
get your [C]own dream

[Verse 7]
[G]Everybody [D]talkin' bout the
[Em]language [C]of the [G]dead
Antiquated [D]murmurs maybe
