Absolute Lithops Effect (CHORDS) by The Mountain Goats

[Intro]~
E     A     E


[Verse 1]~
E                               A  E
After one long season of waiting,..

                               A  E
After one long season of wanting,..

Cmaj7    Dmaj7    E  A  E
I am breaking open!

E                          A  E
My insides are pink and raw

                                 A  E
And it hurts me when I move my jaw

Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
But I am taking tiny steps forward


[Chorus 1]~
   Bm7  Asus2
And I,.. I feel

E
Sure that my wounds will heal

   Bm7       Asus2
And I,.. I will bloom

E          B
Here in my room

             E     C   C/B   C/A
With a little water

                           E   C   C/B   C/A
And a little bit of sunlight

                   E      Bm7
And a little bit of tender mercy

Asus2  E
Tender mercy


[Verse 2]~
E                                 A  E
The big trucks come up the highway

                                   A  E
And the big wheels rattle my windows

Cmaj7      Dmaj7               E  A  E
And night,.. night comes to Texas

E                                   A  E
After one blind season alone in here

                               A  E
After one long sweltering summer

Cmaj7    Dmaj7  E
I,.. I'm going to find the exit


[Chorus 2]~
   Bm7    Asus2
And I will go

E
To the house of a friend I know

   Bm7       Asus2
And I,.. I will let

E      B
Myself forget

             E     C   C/B   C/A
With a little water

                           E   C   C/B   C/A
And a little bit of sunlight

                   E      Bm7
And a little bit of tender mercy

Asus2  E
Tender mercy
