Instigator (CHORDS) by Kevin Devine

[Verse 1]~
Em         G           C             G
I keep it dumb,, do it just like you tell me to

Em        G            C              D
I draw it straight as I possibly can

Em         G           C          G
I come as close to the truth as I ever do

Em           G
I take some liberties

C         Am
I am what I am

        Em                D
And that surprises everyone


[Chorus]~
G       Em      C      G
I wanna be your instigator

G     Bm          C            D
Molotov in your clenched left hand

G        Em     C        G
I wanna be your instigator

G        Bm          C      G
Your dynamite,, your weatherman


[Verse 2]~
Em        G                  C         G
Colliding thoughts,, bundled up,, indecipherable

Em             G                C           D
Jumped on one foot ’till they fell from my ear

Em         G               C             G
A garbage sea thick with steel chips & airplane glue

Em           G            C           Am
I poured it all in your lap “Baby,, here!”

      Em                 D
I was surprised,, like anyone


[Chorus]~
G       Em      C      G
I wanna be your instigator

G     Bm          C            D
Molotov in your clenched left hand

G        Em     C        G
I wanna be your instigator

G        Bm          C      G
Your dynamite,, your weatherman


[Bridge]~
Bm
A barricade

C
A catalyst

    D
An argument for glory over me


[Pre-Chorus]~
      Em                 D
I was surprised,, like anyone


[Chorus]~
G       Em      C      G
I wanna be your instigator

G     Bm          C            D
Molotov in your clenched left hand

G        Em     C        G
I wanna be your instigator

G        Bm          C      G
Your dynamite,, your weatherman
