Suckers Shangri-La

Lower Dens


Tom: Am

G                          F
A false heaven has touched down
G                             F
This is a sucker’s Shangri-La no doubt
G                   F
Are you going to be crestfallen?
G
A mark
          F
Playing a game

G           D
I fear your hand
             F
The devil in me wants to know
     D
So I ask

Oh oh

C            F
Is your time running out?
C
Your family fortune
F
Going up in flames

C
Child
                             F
This is not what you’ve been waiting for
            C
They fooled you

Wanting to believe
       F
It’s a perfect reason
            C
To wave goodbye

G                    F
You can’t even escape its shadow
G                            F
You can’t escape crying over photographs

   G                                F
It doesn’t help that he can see you coming
       G                              F
And he knows how to break you like an animal

                       D
You writhe just like a worm
        F         D
Because you are accursed

Oh oh

C               F
Just let me lay here
C            F
While I vacillate

     C
Do I bend?
                      F
Are we bound together evermore?
                   C
That’s just how it is
                      F
Out to sea without an oar


Drifting off again
                Fm
With the sirens sounding
F       C
Wave goodbye
