Verse 

           G                     C             G 
There's a fish in my stomach a thousand years old 
        G          Em          C           D 
Can't swim a full circle, the water's too cold 
           Em         C           G F#/G      Em 
Burnt out cars in my fingers, conveyor belts flow,  
      C            Am             C  D         G 
right angles and steam whistles, nothing can grow 


Verse 

   G                         C         G 
A big-antlered deer stepping into the road, 
    G        Em             C            D 
A beautiful woman with her head in the stove 
     Em           C     G F#/G      Em 
The skyscrapers crumble heavy with rats 
     C              Am             C  D        G 
The wind's full of beer cans and whiffle ball bats
