MGMT ~ FLASH DELIRIUM
from "Congratulations"
[Dm]
[F]Mild apprehension
Blank [Dm]dreams of the coming fun[A/E]
[F] Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut [Dm]screams out next to none[A]
So turn it [B]on
Tune it [E]in
And stay [A]inert
You say "[F]I've got the backbone"
The back [Dm]way to escape the gun[A]
[F] Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not [Dm]saving anyone[A]
And now it [B]hurts
To stay at [E]home and see
[A]Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You [Dm]can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the [B]flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
So if you [E]must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt
[F]Plants
As far as I know are still,
[C] Still bending [A]toward the light
And if we [F]dance
Until the heart explodes
It'll [Dm]make this place ig[A]nite
[F] And even if this [G]hall collapses
[C] I can stand by my [Am]pillar of hope it's [F]just
A [Dm]case of Flash [A]Delirium
[F]Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
[Dm]Ages stuck together
[A]Taking it to the source
[F]Timeless desperation
[C]Pictures on a screen scream
[Dm] "hey people,[A] what does it mean?"
[B] [E] [A]
[F]Comfort keeps us [Fm]nice
So [C]quick to donate [A]everything
Die [B]wolken drifting blinding smiles [E]circling
And [F]time's [Fm]tingling [C]spines
A[A]ttaching hands to [B]floor
The [E]rosy-tinted
[A]Flash
The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll [Dm]never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the [B]birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the [E]clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt
F(hold)
Why close one eye and try to
[C] Pledge allegiance [Am]to the sun
[F] When plastic ghosts start terror[Dm]izing every[A]one
[F] Geometric [G]troops aligning
[C] Carried [C/B]up to the [Am]burial mounds
[F] My earthbound heart is heavy
[C] Your heartbeat [Am]keeps things light
[F] With the violence forever [Dm]threatening the [A]night
And[F] even if this [G]hall collapses
[C] I can stand by my [Am]pillar of hope and [B]trust
That our heads won't [E]bust
[F]Six six, five five [G#]red battleships
Forty [C/G]earthlike planets
Three [A]holes two tits
One [B/F#]fork in it's side
Zero [E]tears in their eyes
(double time)
[F]Sue the spiders
Sink the W:oelsh
[G#]Stab your facebook
Sell sell sell
[C/G]Undercooked
Overdone
[A]Mass adulation not so funny
[B/F#]Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
[E]Silly money
You're my honey[A]
