I know it's not even out yet, but this song is amazing
so I had to tab it. Good job to whoever figured out
these lyrics.
These are the chords I refer to in the tab:
G F#/G Em D C B/C Am G7 C7

The verse is just a simple chord progression:
*Note: The chords are pretty much above the exact syllables
of each lyric.
Verse 1:
G F#/G Em D
Dead in the water
C B/C Am
It's not a paid vacation
G F#/G Em D C
The sons and daughters of city officials
B/C Am
Attend demonstrations
G F#/G Em D
It's hardly a sink or swim
C B/C Am
When all is well if the ticket sells
Break 1:
G F#/G Em D C B/C Am Am
Verse 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mgmt/congratulations_crd.html ]
G F#/G Em D
Out with a wimper
C B/C Am
It's not a blaze of glory
G F#/G Em
You look down from your temple
D C B/C Am
As people endeavor to make it a story
G F#/G Em D
And chisel a marble word
C B/C Am
But all is lost if it's never heard
Break 2:
G C7 G G7
Chorus:
C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't see what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations
G F#/G Em D C B/C Am Am
Just repeat for the rest of the song:
Verse 3:
I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
Break 1
Verse 4:
The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste
Break 2
Chorus 2:
But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Word.
