[Verse 1]
D G D
A muffled battle cry across the kitchen table
D G D
A baffling contretemps that shakes the day unstable
D G
Confessions from the cab a habit that I got from dad
D7 G
The flurry of departure in a cyclone of cologne
Bb
Would often devastate the gate and hedge
D
And set our tiny teeth on edge
Bb
I see it in me now and pledge
D
To knock it on the head that's what I'll do
D (hold)
[Verse 2]

A muffled battle cry across the kitchen table
D G D * * * *
Bridges up portcullis down and round the Tower of Babel
D G
I'm babbling in my dreams of blue berserkers coming at me
D7
Eyes and tongues and rusty knives
G
And God almighty laughing at me
Bb
From a fat boy fishing chair
D
I wake to find you laughing there
Bb
It's nice to know how much you care
D D D D D
Decided I should spend my life with you
[Chorus]
D D G G A6 A6
We protect our little fictions
D D
Like it's all we are
D D G G A6 A6
Little wilderness mementos
D D
But there's only you and me here
G G A6 A6 D D
Fire breathing
G G A6 A6
Hold tight
D D A6 A6 Bm Bm A6 A6 D D
Waiting for the original miracle

I'm trying to focus on the issues of the day please
D G D * * * *
Your paper's upside down The radio's in Chinese
D G
These little tremors that are ripping through our rituals
D7
That friction up the interaction
G
Emanate from quite the greatest
Bb
Thing that ever happened to
D
A pair of boozy bowerbirds
Bb
Like me and you In other words
D D D D D
The alligator pear inside of you
[Chorus]
D D G G A6 A6
We protect our little fictions
D D
When we bow to fear

Little wilderness mementos

But there's only you and me here

Fire breathing

Hold tight
