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
