The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us! Tab por Sufjan Stevens

E                     C#m
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
  A                       F#m                     
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
E                       C#m
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
  A                         F#m
I see my own breath on the face of the door

E       C#m
Oh I am not quite sleeping
A       F#m
Oh I am fast in bed
E                        C#m
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
A                     F#m
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched

E                   C#m
North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
A                     F#m
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
E                        C#m
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
A                   F#m
He runs washing his face in his hands

E        C#m
Oh how I meant to tease him
A        F#m
Oh how I meant no harm
E                         C#m
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
A                     F#m
I see the wasp on the length of my arm

[Instrumental Interlude]

E        C#m      A        F#m            E
Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelujah!
E       C#m          A       F#m           E 
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelujah!
E        C#m        A           F#m         E
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
E    C#m         A        F#m            E
trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)

E                C#m
We were in love. We were in love.
A
Palisades! Palisades!
F#m
I can wait. I can wait.

E       C#m      A         F#m           E
Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
E  C#m      A        F#m           E
To us your ghost is born. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)

E       C#m                         A
I can't explain the state that I'm in
                F#m                    E
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
         C#m                  A
Into the car, from the back seat
       F#m                E
Oh admiration in falling asleep
          C#m                A
All of my powers, day after day
      F#m                         E
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
            C#m                  A
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
       F#m                        E
I can tell you, the telling gets old
         C#m                 A
Terrible sting and terrible storm
      F#m                       E
I can tell you the day we were born
             C#m           A
My friend is gone, he ran away
      F#m                        E
I can tell you, I love him each day
               C#m                    A
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
      F#m                       E
I can tell you I love him each day
         C#m              A
Terrible sting, terrible storm
      F#m         ...E
I can tell you...
