Key: Ebm
Introduction: Dm Bb G F Am Dm Bb G F Am
Dm Bb
There is no grace in act five
G
Only the nerves, insect-like twitches
F E
Involuntary bowel movements, and confusion
Dm Bb
A snail in salt doesn't fall asleep
G
With a half-smile
F Dm
Like Grandma from the after-school special
Bb
It twists and contorts
G
It jerks and writhes for some time
F Dm
Like a living severed limb on fire
Dm Am
All the people who taught me card tricks are dying
Bb
I've been trying
Dm
To get my pop-pop's good looks from old snapshots
Am
And all the people who taught me card tricks are dying
Bb
I've been trying
Dm
To steal my grandfather's handsome from old photographs
Dm Bb
Even if the world is saved
G F
And the couples kiss before the credits list
Dm
There will be more than a lifetime of death
Bb
In the scrambled signal snow that's left
Am
When the black intake runs out
Dm Bb
The invisible frame's death tacked to your movie reel
G F
Far outweigh the reel itself
Dm Am
All the people who taught me card tricks are dying
Bb
I've been trying
Dm
To get my pop-pop's good looks from old snapshots
Am
And all the people who taught me card tricks are dying
Bb
I've been trying
Dm
To steal my grandfather's handsome from old photographs
F G F Am
There is no grace in act five
Dm Am Bb Am Dm
A circus tent and all the folding chairs fit in an old coffin for travel
