Lyrics

Vending Machine

Capo at 5th fret

Tempo 148/74


Em C G Am
Em C G Am

I passed out underneath of the desk of the
Publisher of Spin Magazine
It was the last night of the Modest Mouse
Camper Van Beethoven tour

Am E D
Am E D D
I said I didn’t want to live this way anymore
Walked down the alley and I knocked on the door

C G Am Em
C G D D
How do I get started
Fixing myself
He said it don’t work that way

Do you believe in god
I’m really not sure
He said we’ll find a way

Em C G Am
Em C G Am

We’ll pray to God but your higher power
Will be that flickering
vending machine

We pray to god while your higher power
Is that flickering
Vending machine

Am Em D
Am Em D D

I do the work I read the book
I volunteer each week
I focus on keeping clean my side of the street

C G Am Em
C G D D

But not that it matters
But this is a historically black
AAroom
I am accepted
I’m extended grace
This blows me away

Em C G Am
Em C G Am
Everyone but me prays to god I got this flickering
Vending machine
Everyone but me prays to god I got this flickering
Vending machine

Am Em D
Am Em D D

Everyone I ever met on Madison street
I got you back cause you had mine

C G Am Em
C G D D

And if you are living well
even if you’re not
I hope that this will find you

And Even if you feel irredeemable now
Well you should know that you’re not

Cause one good deed done
Or One moment of grace
Is greater than all the darkness in the world

cause what we don’t know
Is always greater than what we know
Including how this really works
