Am Asus2/G Am
Dig around in the garbage
Asus2/G Am
Save up some halibut bones in a jar
Asus2/G Am
Scrape a winter's worth of salt deposits
From the rusty frame of my car
F Em Am
Ask the experts, maybe they'll know
[Verse 2]
Asus2/G Am
Call up my teacher in Cambridge
Asus2/G Am
See what he remembers
Asus2/G Am
Throw white phosphorus in the fireplace
Look for clues in the embers
F Em Am Asus2/G Am
Call the hotline, give them a phony last name
[Chorus]
Dm
Try to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
Dm G
Tryin' to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
[Verse 3]
Asus2/G Am
Time's running short
Asus2/G Am
Always seems to run shorter
Asus2/G Am
Have some supplies sent
From up just past the northern border
F Em Am Asus2/G Am
Keep a line out to the people who take the long view
[Verse 4]
Asus2/G Am
Only share my research
Asus2/G Am
With sick lab rats like me
Trapped behind the beakers
Asus2/G Am
And the Erlenmeyer flasks
Cut off from the world, I may not ever get free
F Em Am Asus2/G Am
But I may one day
[Chorus]
Dm
Tryin' to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
Dm G
Try to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
[Bridge]
Bb Dm Am
So many suffering from the same affliction
Dm
Coming up on the breakthrough
G
The clock's ticking
[Verse 5]
Am Asus2/G Am
Dig down amongst my calculations
Asus2/G Am
Check my map
Asus2/G Am
Up there on the surface
Everybody's getting ready for the bloodbath
F
Stem the tide, stem the tide
Em Am Asus2/G Am
They're calling down for reinforcements
[Chorus]
Dm
Tryin' to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
Dm G
Tryin' to find
Am Asus2/G Am
An antidote for strychnine
