R.E.M. - Chorus And The Ring
A7 Dsus2
Hey there now young one
A7 Dsus2
You swing alone, quote the scriptures,
A7 Dsus2 A7 Dsus2
Keep them guessing which bed you crawled from
A7 Dsus2
Justify, just deny
A7
Was it fun?
Dsus2
Your time has come
A7
What have you done?
Dsus2 A7 Dsus2
What have you done?
D Em D
That's when the insults start to sting
Em D
You can't remember anything
Em
The chorus chiming
D Em
Every chorus the machine of God
A G/D A G/D A7 Dsus2
Repeat chords for remaining verses
Singin
It's the poison that it measures
Brings illuminating vision
It's the knowing with the wink
That we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which trip to dip to save its soul
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine of God
Hey
Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
Laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing
Like the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bone
Since you're always burning books
You got the chorus and the ring
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine sings
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine sings
That's when the calibration brittle
As a stick hits you
The gold ring in the time museum
Cheaper than a link
Gold ring
Gold ring
Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing
