The Convalescent Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
My bedroom [Em]wall
recalls what's in my [Am]head
A collage constructed and
constantly [Em]fed
Goya mixes Picasso but
it's hardly [Am]Spain
Look through the window,
pissing down with rain
[D][Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[E]Lovely labradors out[Am]number musicians
[D]Bon[F]nie and Clyde hav[Em]e
made their [Am]good inten[D]tions[F]
Pity [Em]poor Payne Stewart
[Am]in a death bubble
But [D]what a swing and so
much bottle
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]
So I convalesce and I ease
the [Am]stress
'cause DNA means does not accept
[F]So [G]I c[G#]onvalesce[C]
and I ease the stress
'cause DNA means does

[Interlude 1]
not accept
[Am][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Kleenex kitchen [Em]towels and
[Am]teletext TV
My favourite inventions of
the twentieth [Em]century
Haile Gebrselassie looks so
sweet and [Am]young
Eyes quickly shift to [D]Jack
[Am]Kevo[F]rkian

[Verse 5]
Uneven an[E]d tidal all with
[Am]exit polic[D]ies[F]
Followed by anti[E]-ballistic migraines
[Am]And [D]Bria[F]n Warner has[Em]
a [Am]tasty little ass
Scared of [D]cash machines and
the Mardi Gras
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 6]
[C]
So I convalesce and I ease
the [Am]stress
'cause DNA means does
not ac[F]cept[G][G#]
So I [C]convalesce and I
ease the stress
'cause DNA means does not [Am]ac cept
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Alberto Juantorena unique
in his [Am]field
These are the things that,
that make you [Em]feel
Klaus Kinski with love of Werner Herzog
[Am]Scream until the war is over
Scream until the [D]war [Am]is
[F]ove[Em]r
Srebrenica cous[E]in of

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[D]Tre[F]blinka
Scream [Em]until the war is [Am]over
War is [D]over[F]
And Dante's In[Em]ferno slides
[Am]into dismorphia
[D]So scream until the war is over
[C][D]

[Verse 9]
[C]So I convalesce and I
ease the [Am]stress
'cause DNA means does not accept
[F]So [G#]I rehabil[C]itate and get
my body straight

[Outro 1]
'cause nothing fits like it used to fit
[Am][A][D][Em]
[E][Em][G][D][C]
[Am]
[Em][D]
[G][C][D]
[Am][A][D][Am][Em]
[G][C]
