D     A             G
  You do the combat math
D A             G
  I'm the war artist
D           A               G
  You can't take your shots back
                     A
I have to watch them miss
D     A          G
  The basketball rim
D       A            G
  Shook like a tambourine
D          A       G
  Not an unlikely event
               A
In a game that means nothing
     A
In a game that means nothing

[Chorus 1]
G            A
Makeshift we are
     Bm
Lead never leaves your system no matter who you are
G            A
Makeshift we are
                   D   A G
As makeshift as we are

[Interlude]
D A G

[Verse 2]
D A                G
  You're a complex dune
D                A       G
  I'm a cloud of octopus ink
D            A      G
  You're an elusive tune
                              A
I'm more ice sculpture than I think
D            A       G
  You're the neutral tribe
D               A         G
  And I got the wrong openness
D                A               G
  Here's where I slowly close my eyes
                  A
And say, "I'm too drunk for this"
      A
Yeah, I'm too drunk for this

[Chorus 2]
G            A
Makeshift we are
 Bm
"Weaklings Make Trouble" you played on your guitar
G            A
Makeshift we are
             Bm
As makeshift as we are

[Bridge]
F#m    Em      Bm      A
    We are, we are, we are

[Verse 3]
D     A         G
  The loneliest buoys
D    A             G
  On dolphin property
D           A          G
  You're as quiet as a fish
                    A
I only sing for the whole sea
D             A             G
  From memory metal tension springs
D         A                G
  We were gunsmoke and the truth
D                  A                 G
  Let's shake some snow off of these shoulders
                                 A
Let's shake some snow off of the roof
                 A
Let's shake some snow off of the roof

[Chorus 3]
G            A
Makeshift we are
  Bm
Occurring to each other under the setups of the stars
G            A
Makeshift we are
    Bm
We imagined us here and here we are
G            A
Makeshift we are
Bm
Through half-squinted eyes, becoming a mirage
G            A
Makeshift we are
G    A  G    A D
  We are, we are
