Mountain Goats - Collapsing stars

when we hid ^Dmout behind the risers at the ^Ahigh school, working b^Gitter calculations with a s^Dmlide rule. the grim part^Dmiculars of poisoning the sw^Aimming pool, ^Gwell you looked me in the e^Aye, ready to ^Dmdie. ^{G Dm}we were becoming what we ^Aare, collapsing st^Dmars.

when we c^Dmhewed up pseudoephedrine like b^Aubble gum, til our h^Gearts were beating as deep and rich as ^Dmkettle drums we knew ^Dmif we waited long enough the c^Ahange would come. and then the ^Gday did come and at ^Alast hold ^Dmtight. hold ^Gfast. ^Dmcatch lightning in a ^Ajar, collapsing st^Dmars.

^GI told you to load up on pr^Dmovisions, because^G we wouldn't be back for a^Dm while. ^Gpack up your troubles in your ^Dmold kit bag ^Gturn toward the camera and ^Asmile, smile, smile.

when we d^Dmitched the plan to poison a^All our enemies, stuffed o^Gur weapons in a clearing, and covered t^Dmhem with leaves, we are go^Dming to come rejoicing bring^Aing in the sheaves one day, and ^Gwe are on our way. ^A you c^Dman look, but^G you won't find ^Dmanother love like our^As, collapsing st^Dmars.
