D/F#    Em           D        C             D         G
Reading prayers from this old book I found  under the ground

Saving it up and spending it all on moving

But turned around suddenly turned around squinting and saw that it was headlights
D/F#         Em        D           C        D      G
And then the truth the truth was unbearable oh and imminent

Bearing down on these two shadow animals caught painting a
