Intro Riff
Intro on Banjo: (Capo 2nd Fret)
Chords for Banjo:
Verse I
August obliterates trust and its in sun-dust Im found
Home to swill the shrilly insect sound
Verse II
Stumble to the Dairy Queen Thumb a People Magazine
Glossy as the bright leaf greened and drowned In the light
An eternity of dimming You turn to me Im slimming
*Banjo & keys lick No.1*
The graininess is winning every night
Claritys a rarity that once was just beginning
*Banjo & keys lick No.2*
Now hellish unem-bellished foreign blurs In the corners of my eyesight
*Licks on Banjo* Capo 2nd
Variation No. 1 Variation No. 2
Intro Riff
Verse III
In this local exit highway night
We must grow accustomed to the sight
And empty all surprise to see the capsize of the semis
Cause nothing will stop the worlds physics from working
Or the manner in which its situated and lurking
Permanently so externally
But theres pleasure and death in each second to be reckoned with
Verse IV
And theres boredom and sex within each wild minute
And the mildest hour has some deadly power in it
And maybe ill cower with Yia Yias silk flowers
As the motion sensor light does brighten and sour
(Strumming Pattern Changes here)
On the back patio where the raccoons go
Whining and divining through the grainy night glow
The same as me as Im fumbling to see
An inch off my face with a pinch of disgrace
Small Breakdown (no Banjo)
Each photo of the summer is one in the same
With a bloodshot number in the corner of the frame
Dating each time that we became
Memorialized in the dimming
Repeat Chorus & Intro Riff x2
Verse V
A bat circles above my brain
As I walk down St. Joseph in the dusky graininess,
yes this gorgeousness is growing too dark too mention
What becomes of the summer skin
When it disintegrates in the blackness of the past
At last Ive become an extension
Breakdown/Ending of the Dimming
Banjo Capo 2nd
This happens twice, once with guitar and banjo
Then with the whole band. Second time through strum chords.
Intro Riff 2x and end on Em with a final cycle through the verse Chords
