Asus2/G - XO2OOO
Following the organ sounding keys since this song is light on the guitar. Play the Asus2/G quickly, just one
beat. You can ignore it and just play Am throughout if you wish.
[Verse 1]
AmDig around in the garbage Asus2/G Am
Save up some halibut bones in a jarAsus2/G Am
Scrape a winter's worth of salt deposits Asus2/G Am
From the rusty frame of my car
Ask the experFts, Em maybe they'll knoAmw
[Verse 2]
Call up my teacher in Cambridge Asus2/G Am
See what he remembers Asus2/G Am
Throw white phosphorus in the fireplaceAsus2/G Am
Look for clues in the embers
Call the hotliFne, Em give them a phony last name Am Asus2/G Am
[Chorus]
Try to fiDmnd

Tryin' to fDmind G
An antidote for strycAmhnine Asus2/G Am
[Verse 3]
Time's running short Asus2/G Am
Always seems to run shorter Asus2/G Am
Have some supplies sent Asus2/G Am
From up just past the northern border
Keep a line ouFt Em to the people who take the long view Am Asus2/G Am
[Verse 4]
Only share my research Asus2/G Am
With sick lab rats like me Asus2/G Am
Trapped behind the beakers
And the Erlenmeyer flasks Asus2/G Am
Cut off from the world, I may not ever get free
But I maFy Em one day Am Asus2/G Am
[Chorus]

The clock's tiGcking
[Verse 5]
AmDig down amongst my calculations Asus2/G Am
Check my map Asus2/G Am
Up there on the surface Asus2/G Am
Everybody's getting ready for the bloodbath
Stem the tFide, stem the tide
EmThey're calling down for reinforcements Am Asus2/G Am
[Chorus]

Tryin' to fDmind G
An antidote for strychnine Am Asus2/G Am
