Gallons

[Bm], [D], [A], [G] through the entire song except part at end, where it is just [G], [Bm], [A]. Goes
back to [Bm], [D], [A], [G] at very end.

Well the s[Bm]pells and incan[D]tations
Of the daw[A]n              [G]
Get bro[Bm]ken by the beat[D]
Of the s[A]treet-sweeper's dru[G]m

And the way, the way is dark
The way is long
In this rotten metropolis
Our common apocalypse
Of storm-drains and neon

When the [Bm]one
That you dr[D]eam of
Is g[A]one           [G]

Fifteen gallons of poison
That you've poured in
To the breach

That's been left behind
From your open heart
Wine bottle surgeries

And all the pretty, young lovers
Are overflowing in the gutters
And unfolding for one another
Like there's something that you don't know

Like this one here
With her lipstick smeared
And her lukewarm thighs
But that's better than none

When the one
That you dream of
Is gone

Ah the wast[G]e-lakes, the drink

And it all starts to swim
[Bm]Fifteen gallons of po[A]ison
The gro[G]und cracks open

And the city falls in
[Bm]Fifteen gallons of p[A]oison

[Bm]     [D]    [A]    [G]
