And did you hear about Courtney, she covers her body
Bb           Dm           C      Bb
To hide the bruises, even in the summer
                   F          Bb         F
And you know that David, well he don't mean it

And maybe when light forms and nothing matters
    Bb           Dm       C    Bb
We're bits of stardust and energy
                 F           Bb     F
And baby in the madness with cosmic genius
     Bb        Dm              C     F
From mass destruction, come blissful peace

But none of the answers are for free
    C              Dm        C       Bb              F
And God don't mind she'll take her time to crucify us
