Matthew 25 21 Chords & Lyrics - Mountain Goats

[Dmaj7] they'd hooked you [D6sus2]up [Dsus4] to a fentanyl d[D5]rip

[Dmaj7] to mitigate the pain a[Dsus4] little bit [D6sus2] [D5]

[Dmaj7] i fle[Dsus4]w in [D6sus2] from pennsylv[D5]ania

[Dmaj7] when i heard the hour was coming fa[Dsus4]st [D6sus2] [D5]

[Bm] [G] And i docked in santa[D5] barbara

[Bm] [G] tried to brace myse[D5]lf

[Bm] [G] but you can't brace your[D5]self

when the t[Bm]ime comes [G] you just have to roll with the b[Asus4]last

and i'm an [Em]18-wheeler headed d[G]own the interstate

and my [D5]brakes are gonna give and i won't k[A]now til it's too [G]late

tires [C]screaming when i lose cont[D]rol

try not to [Asus4]hurt too many people when i r[G]oll

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Dmaj7] [Dsus4] [D6sus2] [D5]
[Dmaj7] [D6sus2] [Dsus4] [D5]

[Dmaj7] find the harbor free[Dsus4]way [D6sus2] and head south [D5]

[Dmaj7] real t[D6sus2]ired, [Dsus4] head kind of ligh[D5]t

[Dmaj7]i found telegraph road, [D6sus2] [Dsus4] i'd only seen the name on envel[D5]opes

[Dmaj7]found the parking lo[Dsus4]t [D6sus2] and turned [D5]right

[Bm]i fe[G]lt all the details carv[D5]ing out space in my head

[Bm]trop[G]icanas on the walkway n[D5]eon red

[Bm]betw[G]een the pain and the pi[D5]lls trying to hold it at bay

[Bm]stan[G]ds a traveler going som[Asus4]ewhere far away

an[Em]d i am an airplane [G]tumbling wing over wing

try to [D5]listen to my instruments they don't[A] say anything [G]

people[C] screaming when the engine[D]s quit

i hope we'r[Asus4]e all in crash position when [G]we hit

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Dmaj7] [D6sus2] [Dsus4] [D5]
[Dmaj7] [D6sus2] [Dsus4] [D5]
[Dmaj7] [D6sus2] [Dsus4] [D5]
[Dmaj7] [D6sus2] [Dsus4] [D5]

[Dmaj7] and then came to your b[D6sus2]edside

[Dsus4] and as it turns out

[D5]i'm not ready

[Dmaj7] and as t[D6sus2]hough

[Dsus4] you were speaking through a thick [D5]haze

[Dmaj7] you said hello to [D6sus2]me [Dsus4] [D5]

[Bm]we [G]all stood the[D5]re around you

[Bm]hap[G]py to hear yo[D5]u speak

[Bm]the[G] last of some[D5]thing bright burning

[Bm]still[G] burning

beyond the canc[Asus4]er and the chemotherapy

and you wer[Em]e a presence full o[G]f light upon this earth

and i a[D5]m a witness to your life and to its[A] worth [G]

it's t[C]hree days later when i get[D] the call

and there's[Asus4] nobody around to break my fa[G]ll
