VERSE 1: 
E                             A 
White moon, white moon breaks open the tomb 
       B                     E     Esus4 E 
Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote

Creature come, creature, creature, my own double feature 
       B                        E    Esus4 E 
As I'm warming the bleachers at home

         Bb           A              B 
I better call aloud a meeting of the boys

VERSE 2: 
My friends are all dying and death can't be lying 
It's the truth and it don't make a noise 
Oh Rita, oh Rita, if you lived in Mesita 
I would move you with the beat of a drum 
And this picture is proof that although you're aloof 
You had the shiniest tooth 'neath the Sun 
Easy come, easy go, be the star of the show 
I'm giving up all I know to get more 
To get more 
 
VERSE 3: 
Photograph the picture, young grunt pin-up scripture 
Footlocker-tagged memories of war 
A mirage, this garage, and the photo montage 
And the finger massage from the host 
E               G         D      F 
Good lord, good lord, the one I adored 
       Bb      A         B 
That I can't afford is a ghost 
     E 
Is a ghost 
      E            G            D       F 
Proto-social's the word and the word is bird 
     Bb               A           B 
That flew through the herd in the snow 
       E 
In the snow 
 
VERSE 4: 
Lemonade me, then grade me, then deliver my baby 
And if my friends all persuade me I'll go 
Blink, blink at me Rita, don't you know I'm a bleeder 
And I promised I wouldn't leave her arms 
But she read me, then led me, and I ate what was fed me 
'Til I purged every word in this song
