Batter

	  		I took my last breath 
E       B 
 As the plane crashed 
G                              B E       B   E D  
 I don’t even think that I got to let it out 
    B 
And I don’t know if you noticed 
E                   D 
I don’t know if you noticed yet 
              B 
But there’s a drought around these parts 
           E            D 
There’s no water in the well 
    B         E    D   B 
The dry spell, the dry spell 

B 
Don’t let your demons 

Take you to the cleaners 

Fix your posture 

While you call your mother 

Draw a picture -- it lasts longer 
  D 
A body’s sacred 

When it’s naked 
      C# 
So go ahead 

And let it 
     B 
Be a Bible for another 

Blood’s your compass 

Let it wander 
       D                  C#  
May it stick thick like a slaughter 
                 B 
Halle Halle Hallelujah 


(These first two lines are just drums - so these are just chords that seem to fit the melody) 
    E           G             B 
Now I return to my first purpose 
        A                 C#           D    
A sharp breath exhaled beneath the surface 
      D 
Where lungs collapse like demolition 
        C# 
And the pulse ceases to quicken 'til 
D 
I become as sweet as nothing 
     C# 
I’m nothing now 

Just nothing now 
    D 
I’m nothing now 

Nothing now 
E 
Nothing now 
E        D    B 
Nothing, I am nothing 

B 
From the plane 

I called your name 
       E      B 
But it didn’t matter 

You were home baking 

A birthday cake 

Cracking an egg 
  E      B 
Into the batter 
          D  
You had a little bit of batter 
             C# 
A little bit of batter 
        B 
On your face
