Epitaph In Tongues

Tom: Am

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
Paid top dollar but wrote it off
Am
Imported girls at the diamond trough
       G                              Am
He’ll fix you up but he won’t get you off
Am
File it under the tax evasion
Am
Dupe the christians and fool the laymans
G                             Am
To Panama or to the Cayman Islands

[Chorus 1]
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone

[Verse 2]
Am
Whistle blowers in a sea of horns
Am
Fists are shaking behind closed doors
G                                     Am
Scroll through souls of one-man proxy war
Am
Ample feedlots adorn the fen
Am
A bar code tattooed on your skin
    G                                 Am
The answers are all blowing in the tailspin

[Chorus 2]
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone

Guitar solo

[Bridge]
F
Memory is failing
Am
An epitaph in tongues
F
Logic is flailing
G                    Am
Exhaling … through an iron lung

[Verse 3]
Am
Breath it in till it makes you high
Am
Don’t look the devil straight in the eye
    G                                     Am
He flipped the script and in it he’s the good guy

[Chorus 3]
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone
F
All that you’re fighting for
G                               Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone
F
All that you’re fighting for
G               F
All that you’re fighting for
D                F              Am
All that you’re fighting for is gone
