[Verse 1]
 
Am           F
Like a rock, like a planet
G                       C B
Like a fucking atom bomb
     Am                        F
I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness
       G                      Em
that I encounter everywhere I turn,
                 Am    Asus2  Am    Asus2
I've seen it all before,
                 F F7  F F7
in books and magazines,
                     C   C7  C   C7
like a twitch before dying,
                    G
like a pornographic sea,
                            Am   Asus2   Am  Asus2
there's a flower behind the window,
                         F  F7   F  F7
there's an ugly laughing man,
                      C    C7   C  C7
like a hummingbird in silence,
                     G
like the blood on my door,
              Am         Bbm C Bbm C Bbm C Eb
it's the genera     tor
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am       F        G                    C  B
oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door,
Am                F          G                 Em
wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore,
                 Am    Asus2  Am    Asus2
I've known it all along 
                 F F7  F F7
like the bone under my skin,
                    C   C7  C   C7
like actors in a photograph,
                    G
like paper in the wind,
                            Am   Asus2   Am  Asus2
there's a hammer by the window,
                         F  F7   F  F7
there's a knife on the floor,
                    C    C7   C   C7
like turbines in darkness,
                     G
like the blood on my door,
              Am         Bbm C Bbm C Bbm C Eb
it's the genera     tor
