A Comet Appears
Wincing the Night Away


Capo 2

v1
C	C/B	    C/A		C/B
One hand on this wily comet
C	C/B		C/A		C/G
Take a drink just to give me some weight
C	C/B	C/A	  C/G	      F	 	G
Some uberman I would make up, barely a vapor

They shone a chlorine light on
A host of individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off

G	     C	   G		C
Fetch us a knife, start with my eyes,
G	C		    F	          G 
Down so the lines form a grimacing smile

v2

Close your eyes to coral the virtues
Is this fooling anyone else
Never worked so long and hard to cement a failure
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shins/a_comet_appears_crd.html ]
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
But the loneliest is delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them

Into the sea, with stones on their feet
Lost to the light and the loving we need.

chorus
	Am	Em			Am
	Stencil carved since you've come
		Em		  G
	The worst part and you know it
	Am	   Em		Am
	There is a numbness
		Em		G
	In your heart and its growing



v3

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heals get the devils in line
A list of thing I could lay the blame on that give me a way out

But with each scent it is front and center
Like a dot stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on is

A pie in the sky, chock full of lies
A tool we devise to make sinking stones fly
