Margot & the Nuclear So and So's - A light on a hill

^AmThat's no way^C to live all ta^Fngled up like ^Cballs of st^Gring. ^AmAnd we woke^C at dawn and ^Fwatched the sun glide^C over the hi^Gll.

^FAnd the circuits are^Am blown, my woman is ^Fcold, our children are ^Cstoned and w^Gorthless. F Am F C G (Am) All waiting for you to tell them the truth. The truth is a line, that you'll never use.
