Am F

Like a rock, like a planet

G C B

Like a fucking atom bomb

Am F

I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness

G Em

that I encounter everywhere I turn,

Am Asus2 Am Asus2

I've seen it all before,

F F7 F F7

in books and magazines,

C C7 C C7

like a twitch before dying,

G

like a pornographic sea,

Am Asus2 Am Asus2

there's a flower behind the window,

F F7 F F7

there's an ugly laughing man,

C C7 C C7

like a hummingbird in silence,

G

like the blood on my door,

Am A#m-C-A#m-C-A#m-C D#

it's the genera-----tor

Am F G C B

oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door,

Am F G Em

wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore,

Am Asus2 Am Asus2

I've known it all along

F F7 F F7

like the bone under my skin,

C C7 C C7

like actors in a photograph,

G

like paper in the wind,

Am Asus2 Am Asus2

there's a hammer by the window,

F F7 F F7

there's a knife on the floor,

C C7 C C7

like turbines in darkness,

G

like the blood on my door,

Am A#m-C-A#m-C-A#m-C D#

it's the genera-----tor
