The Mountain Goats Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod Standard tuning if you want to match the live version, as seen here: https://youtu.be/wRrXIZc7Lq4 Capo 1 if you prefer to match the key used in the album version. [Intro] A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A A [Verse 1]

^AYou are sleeping off your dem^Dsus2ons ^AWhen I come ^Dsus2home ^ASpittle bubbling on your ^Elips ^AFine white ^Dsus2foam

^AI am young and I am ^Dsus2good It's a ^Ahot southern California ^Dsus2day ^AIf I wake you ^Eup ^AThere will be hell to ^Dsus2pay

^Dsus2And alone in my ^Aroom I am the ^Dsus2last of a lost civiliz^Aation ^Dsus2And I vanish into the ^Adark ^AAnd rise above my ^Dsus2station ^ARise above my ^Dsus2station

[Bridge] Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A A [Verse 2]

But I ^Ado wake you up, and when I ^Dsus2do You ^Ablaze down the hall and you ^Dsus2scream ^AI'm in my room with the ^Eheadphones on ^ADeep in the ^Dsus2dream chamber

^AAnd then I'm awake and I'm ^Dsus2guarding my face ^AHoping you don't break my ^Dsus2stereo Because ^Ait's the one thing that I ^Ecouldn't live without And so I ^Athink about that, and then I ^Dsus2sorta black out

Held ^Dsus2under these smothering ^Awaves By your ^Dsus2strong and thick-veined ^Ahand ^Dsus2But one of these ^Adays I'm gonna ^Ewriggle up on dry ^Aland

[Outro] A A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A A A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A E A
