Oh Comely Chords

[Intro]
E   E   E   E   x2
 
[Verse 1]
E              C
    Oh comely
                   
I will be with you 
              D    E
when you lose your breath
                C                  
Chasing the only meaningful memory 
                D   E
you thought you had left
                        
With some pretty bright 
           C
and bubbly terrible scene
                            D    E
That was doing her thing on your chest
                C
But oh comely
                   
It isn't as pretty 
                 G
as you'd like to guess
 
In your memory you're drunk on 

your awe to me
   C                          E
It doesn't mean anything at all
 
[Verse 2]
E          C
Oh comely
                                D   E
All of your friends are letting you blow
                   C
Bristling and ugly
                     
Bursting with fruits 
                 D   E
falling out from the holes
                                 C
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
                      
You could need to say 
                     D    E
comforting things in your ear
                 C
But oh comely
                            
There isn't such one friend 
                    G
that you could find here
 
Standing next to me
 
Only my enemy
     C
I'll crush him with everything I own
E
say what you want to say
                              G
and hang for your hollow ways moving 

your mouth
                              
to pull out all your miracles 
E         C  D  G  D  G  D  G  D  E
aimed for me
 
[Verse 3]
E
Your father made fetuses
 
With flesh licking ladies
      C
While you and your mother
                           D
Were asleep in the trailer park
E
Thunderous sparks 

from the dark of the stadiums
    C
The music and medicine 

you needed for comforting
D  E
So make all your 

fat fleshy fingers to moving
    C
And pluck all your silly strings
                              D
And bend all your notes for me
E
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
    C
The movements were beautiful
                  D
All in your ovaries
E
All of them milking with 

green fleshy flowers
      C                
While powerful pistons 
                      D
were sugary sweet machines
E
Smelling of semen all 

under the garden
    C                    
Was all you were needing 
                           D
when you still believed in me
E
Say what you wanna say 

and hang for your hollow ways
G                            
Moving your mouth to pull out 
                   E         C 
all your miracles aimed for me

 D  G  D  G  D  G  D  E

[Verse 4]
E
I know they buried her body with others
    C                                 D
Her sister and mother and 500 families
    E
And will she remember me 50 years later
  C                                                   D
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
E
Know all your enemies
   C
We know who our enemies are
E
Know all your enemies
   C
We know who our enemies are

[Outro]
Am
Goldaline my dear
 
We will fold and freeze together
E
Far away from here
 
There is sun and spring and green forever
    Am
But now we move to feel
 
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
E
Place your body here
                                         Am  E
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
