Weightless Again

guitar chords lyrics

The Handsome Family

Start on E

Intro (same as verse):
A, Am, Em
Dsus2 A, Em x2


Verse 1:
A Am Em
We stopped for coffee in the Redwood forest

Dsus2 A Em Dsus2 A Em
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream

[repeat this twice with these lyrics:]
I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how
Like those Indians, lost in the rainforest
Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
They had all forgotten how to start a fire

Chorus:
G F#
This is why people OD on pills
G F#
And jump from the Golden Gate Bridge
G E
Anything to feel weightless again


[Repeat intro/verse:]
Those poor lost indians when the white man found them
Most died of TB, the rest went insane
In our motel room, you're drinking Slice and gin
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
Remember the first time we slept together
You said it felt like when you learned to float

[Repeat Chorus, ending on the E.]
