The Mountain Goats - Autoclave

^C Hand me your ^Cmaj7hand let me ^Amlook in your ^Geyes as my l^Cast chance to feel ^Cmaj7human be^Amgins to vapo^Grize ^Cmaybe it’s the ^Cmaj7heat in here ^Ammaybe it’s the ^Gpressure ^Fyou ought to head for the ^Fexits the sooner the better

I am this ^Cgreat, un^Cmaj7stable ^Ammass of blood and ^Gfoam And ^Cno one in her ^Cmaj7right mind would ^Ammake my home her ^Ghome My heart is an ^Fautoclave My heart is an ^Cautoclave ^{C/B Am G}

When I ^Ctry to open ^Cmaj7up to you I ^Amget completely ^Glost ^CHouses swallowed ^Cmaj7by the earth ^Amwindows thick with ^Gfrost And I ^Creach deep down with^Cmaj7in but the ^Ampathways twist and ^Gturn And there’s ^Fno light anywhere and ^Fnothing left to burn

And I am this ^Cgreat un^Cmaj7stable ^Ammass of blood and ^Gfoam And no e^Cmotion that’s worth ^Cmaj7having can ^Amcall my heart its ^Ghome My heart is an ^Fautoclave My heart is an ^Cautoclave ^{C/B Am G}

I ^Cdreamt that I was ^Cmaj7perched atop a ^Amthrone of human ^Gskulls On a ^Ccliff above the ^Cmaj7ocean howling ^Amwind and shrieking ^Gseagulls And the ^Cdream went on for^Cmaj7ever one ^Amsingle static ^Gframe Some^Ftimes you want to go where every^Fbody knows your name

I am this ^Cgreat, ^Cmaj7unstable ^Ammass of blood and ^Gfoam And no^C one in her ^Cmaj7right mind would ^Ammake her home my ^Ghome My heart is an ^Fautoclave My heart is an ^Cautoclave ^{C/B Am G}
