The Convalescent

Em
Em Am  x2

[Verse 1]
Em
My bedroom wall recalls whats in my head
Am
A collage constructed and constantly fed
Em
Goya mixes Picasso but it's hardly Spain
Am
Look through the window - pissing down with rain

[Pre-Chorus]
F       E           Am           D
Lovely labradors outnumber musicians
F           E                    Am           D
Bonny and Clyde have made their good intentions
F           E                 Am
Pity poor Payne Stewart in a death bubble
D
But what a swing and so much bottle

[Chorus]
C
So I convalesce
C7
And I ease the stress
F                        Fm
Cos DNA means does not accept
Ab
So I convalesce
C
And I ease the stress
C7                          Am    D
Cos DNA means does not accept

[Verse 2]
Em
Kleenex kitchen towels and Teletext TV
Am
My favourite inventions of the 20th Century
Em
Haile Gebrselassie looks so sweet and young
Am
Eyes quickly shift to Jack Kevorkian

[Pre-Chorus]
F      E             Am             D
Uneven and tidal all with exit policies
F           E           Am        D
Followed by anti-ballistic migraines
F         E            Am
And Brian Warner has a tasty little ass
D
Scared of cash machines and the mardi-gras

[Chorus]
C
So I convalesce
C7
And I ease the stress
F                        Fm
Cos DNA means does not accept
Ab
So I convalesce
C
And I ease the stress
C7                          Am    D
Cos DNA means does not accept

[Verse 3]
Em
Alberto Juantorena unique in his field
Am
These are the things that, that make you feel
Em
Klaus Kinski with love of Werner Herzog
Am
Scream until the war is over
Am
Scream until the war is over

[Pre-Chorus]
F          E      Am         D
Srebrenica cousin of Treblinka
F        E             Am              D
Scream until the war is over, war is over
F             E              Am
And Dante's Inferno slides into dysmorphia
D
So scream until the war is over

[Chorus]
C
So I convalesce
C7
And I ease the stress
F                         Fm
Cos DNA means does not accept
Ab
So I rehabilitate
C
And get my body straight
C7                               Am    D
Cos nothing fits like it used to fit

[Outro]
Em Am
(repeat until fade]
