I think I'll go home and mull this over
D2 A2 G2
Before I cram it down my throat
Bm A G Em
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
D2 A2 G2
Has broken up into bits in my moat
Em D2 Em D2 Dsus4 D2
Lift the mattress off the floor
Em D2 A2 G2
Walk the cramps off, go meander in the cold
Em D2 Em D2
Hail to your dark skin, hiding the fact you're dead again
Em D2 A2 G2
Underneath the powerlines seeking shade
G2
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
(Verse 2)

All these squawking birds won't quit

Building nothing lay ing bricks

Here are the chords as James plays them (I watched him when I saw him live and I believe
I got it right).
Basically, the 2 chords are the open versions of the bar chords that are played in the song.

I think i'll go home and mull this over
Before i cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat.
Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on.
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
One day i'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.
This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.
