Tom: A
A
It started with wandering
A
contraband
A A
the poet blinked twice
A A
she can see
A A D D
the deepest impossible sea
D D
and we’re walking together
D D
singing the songs of
D D E E
some SOB stuck in a dream
E
with a dancer
E E
and a praying monster
E
don’t you know
E E A A N.C.
there’s a killer on the road?
[Verse 2]
A
Slam cut to present day
A
America
A A
there’s weirdness in the woods
A A
I’m alone
A A D D
and I can’t stop looking at my phone
D D
now we’re cheering on assassins
D D
adjusting our glasses
D D E E
pretending that a verse would set us free
E
or a bad joke
E E
or a single helix
E E E A A
it’s all the same to a ghost with a guitar
[Chorus]
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
[Verse 3]
A
we’re back in a different time
A
who knows where
A A
I’ve been here before
A A
hear those chimes
A A D D
of the brand names washed out with the tide
D D
and you’re better than ever
D D
your mood like the weather
D D E E
is overcast with a chance of regret
E
prepared piano
E
and tape loops
E E E E A A
and the rarest of b-sides have absolutely ruined my life
[Chorus]
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
[Chorus]
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
[Instrumental]
A D E A
[Chorus]
N.C. E E
folk music is insane
N.C. A A
folk music is insane
E
folk music is insane
A
folk music is insane
[Post-Chorus]
A
it’s something to behold
D
but it’s out of reach
E
and you can’t explain
N.C
you’ll never get close
A A
folk music is insane
[Post-Chorus]
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
we can’t escape forever (folk music is insane)
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E
and there’s something in the water (folk music is insane)
[Outro]
A A
I know it’s not nostalgia
E E
won’t you meet me in the parlor
D D
we can’t escape forever
E E A
and there’s something in the water
