Every church

[Verse 1]
 D     E        D A
Every church in CST
   D           E
At noon, their bells
     F#m
all play
     D         A
They must have heard
      C#m    D
when I blasphemed
     Bm                     D
And dumped the broadcast delay
 D        E        D      A    D
We should move and start anew
    E         F#m
Can we do no better?
 D      A       C#m   D    Bm
I don't know if I see you
            D
Firing up a thresher

Third avenue is a wasteland
D           E         F#m
Clenched my fists the whole
     E  A    D
 way down
       E                F#m
We all scratch the same itch
         D     E        A
And corn salad is a benefit

Just past 7:59

I would guarantee

That half the clocks
   C#m      D
 in mountain time
Bm                D
Scream concurrently
D         E
Would you like that,
  D        A        D
 cosmically?
             E         F#m
Or would you rather it later?
D       A       C#m   D
Translating your poetry
Bm           D
Temporally belabored

[Chorus 2]
D       E       F#m      E A D
Been so cold in here for days
    E           F#m
The highway is a minefield

Ground my teeth down

We all champ the same bit
     D         E     A
Corn salad is a benefit
