Game Shows Touch Our Lives Lyrics

GAME SHOWS TOUCH OUR LIVES - Mountain Goats
Chords:
(The high e sounds muted for most of the song.)
When he plays the Em6 chord he adds and removes a finger on the G string.
This is hard to explain so I'll show you, as this is repeated throughout the song.
(Once you have that down sounding right, you are ready to start playing the song.)
Game Shows Touch Our Lives
Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin
That stuff tastes like medicine
But I'll take it
It'll do
On the couch in the living room all day long
Music on the television playing our song
I'm in the mood
The mood for you
Turn the volume up real high
All of that money look at it fly
And you smoking like a chimney
Shadows crawled across the living room's length
I held onto you with a desperate strength
With everything with everything in me
And I handed you a drink of a lovely little thing
On which our survival depends
People say friends don't destroy one another
What do they know about friends?
Thunderclouds forming cream white moon
Everything's going to be okay soon
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe the next day
Carried you up the stairs that night
All of this could be yours if the price is right
I heard cars headed down to oblivion
Up on the expressway
Your drunken kisses as light as the air
Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
Our house sinking into disrepair
Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes
