[Verse 1]
G
We all woke up that morning
Am                  C
Claw marks on our little faces
G                        Em
The dull thud from the treetops
C                 D7
The echo in the hollow places
C                  G
Rose up high and lonely
C                     G
Wringing my hands, grinding my teeth
Em                  G
All the triumph overhead
          C  D           G
All the disaster underneath


[Verse 2]
G
Spat out my morning prayers
Am                     C
Desperate pleas and vicious lies
G                               Em
Felt the sunlight through the grating
C              D7
Covered up my eyes
C                 G
Woke up feeling awful
C                             G
Shook my head to drive the ghosts way
Em                  G
This is just a flesh wound
C                         D
And it will clear up any day
            C                            G
But the present i got planned for you pricks
C                      D7
Is gonna be a little harder to fix


[Refrain]
G         C
Thank god
           G    C
For small favors
    G  D7 G
In high doses


[Verse 3]
G
Heard the voices through the air vents
Am                   C
Listen to them squeal
G                               Em
The great big world is out there
C                          D7
The hidden one beneath my heel
C                            G
Called up my sister in Reseda
C                         G
Left a message at the tone
Em                              G
All the points where contact fails us
            C  D               G
All of the dead spots in the zone


[Verse 4]
G
And the acid in my throat
Am            C
Every time i try to talk
G                                 Em
The songs that keep me up at night
C                  D7
Standing on that solid rock
         C                     G
Rose up high and dry and lonely
 C                           G
Stumbled coming out the gate
Em                 G
This is just a paper cut
C                       D
And it will scab over just you wait
         C                               G
But the cuts that i'll shortly being dealing out
C                                 D7
Are gonna give you something to cry about


[Refrain]
G        C
Thank god
         G       C
For small favors
     G D7 G
In high doses
