Now We Just Slowly Circle The Draining Fish Bowl Cifras

[Verse 1]
           F
I'll come back from the war
                                   Am
But everything I'll touch seems to break
      F
And I won't be the same man
                           Am
I won't be the same man you knew
                   F
And I was somewhat tickled by your gauge of your ticker tape parade
         Am
Now you know and you know that I know
         F
We could dance all night here on their graves
                    E
God bless our black souls
 
[Verse 2]
                        F
Cause the serpent still sleeps
                 Am
The serpent still eats
                    F
That black guard is still some integral part
                  Am
Of those ideas we keep
                F
So there was no desperate ache or pain
                                 Am
As I sent my little babe to the drawer
                                       F                       E
'Cause after all, after all, we can't all join hands to sing hallelujah
                         C
When there's work to be done
 
[Chorus]
                                 G
But don't stop now, you're still ahead
                                     F
Don't get caught in pursuits like the rest
                                     C
Don't get smart now, you need it, we knew
                              G
Back long before this twisted soul
                                   F
I'll be something you'd rather not know
                                 E        F
I'll be something that stings to believe
 
[Chorus]
                  C
It won't stop the war
                                 G
But don't stop now, you're still ahead
                                       F
Don't get caught in conceits like your dad
                                    C
Don't get smart now, you need it, we knew
                               G
Back long before this twisted soul
                                   F
I'll be something you'd rather not know
                                  C
This was something we choose to believe
 
[Chorus]
                                             G
(Not me!) As I kick and claw, come home in a box
                                      F
Or find a place, job to claim, eat my heart
                                       C
Hope I choke, hope I stroke, catch the flu
                                         Am
In your arm, your chair, your family heirloom
                                    G
Wife resents kids that fuck in your room
                                    C
When we laugh, we'll be laughing at you
                                   Am
When you circle your draining fish bowl
                                           F
Sell your house, sell your car, sell your soul
                                        E
Spend your whole life just praying to spend your life
