Dm, C (repeat) 


Dm   C               Dm 
Go down to wait all night 
        C               Dm 
She's bound to run him out 
     C                     G 
The rest of the nothing of any how 
             Dm 
To each his own 
Dm   C                Dm 
The garden is sorting out 
     C                  Dm 
She curls her lips on a bar 
    C                         G 
I don't know if you're dead or not 
             Dm 
If you're anyone 

     C                   Dm 
Come on and get the minimum 
   C                     Dm 
Before you open up your eyes 
     C                  G        
It's all being served in your hands 
             Dm 
Your addled eyes 
     C                   Dm 
Come on and get to open yours 
    C                   Dm 
Collected at the borderlines 
      C             G 
They want to get up in your hair 


       Dm              C 
Cause they know, so do I 
     Dm                   C 
The high road is hard to find 
   Dm                 C 
A detour in your new life 
     Dm                           C 
Tell all of your friends getting warm 


Dm   C                Dm 
The dogs who ran all night 
     C                Dm 
The son who hoped it would 
   C                   G  
Break from the warfare in your house 
             Dm 
To each his own 
     C                  Dm 
The soldier is bailing out 
     C                   Dm 
And curled his lips on a bar 
    C                     G 
And I don't know if the dead can talk 
      Dm 
To anyone 

     C                   Dm 
Come on and get the minimum 
   C                     Dm 
Before you open up your eyes 
     C                  G        
It's all being served in your hands 
              Dm 
Are you one of us 
     C                   Dm 
Come on and get to open yours 
    C                   Dm 
Collected at the borderlines 
      C             G 
They want to get up in your hair 


       Dm              C 
Cause they know, so do I 
     Dm                   C 
The high road is hard to find 
   Dm                 C 
A detour in your new life 
     Dm                           C 
Tell all of your friends getting warm 


C                             Am 
It's too late to change your mind 
      Dm               G 
You let laws be your guide
