Intro: Am 

verse 1 

Am                               F             C 
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit 
                                            E              Am 
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips 
Am                              F 
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish 
C                                        E 
As they swim off to the sunset so freely 

(Oh there they go, there there they go) 

         Am                                F 
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz 
C                                     E                Am 
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag 
                            F 
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave 
   C                                   E7 
To conclusions of the book we are both reading 

(Somewhere between the spines) 

         Am                          F 
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink 
             C                                 E 
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think 
      Am                  F 
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones 
     C                              E            Am 
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones

verse 2 

Am                               F 
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws 
C                                E                     Am 
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw 
Am                                    F 
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods 
       C                            E 
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox 

(Saying what's he got, well what's he got) 

    Am                                    F 
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade 
   C                                   E              Am 
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades 
Am                                   F 
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played 
       C                               E7 
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots 

(Oh my, my, my, my) 


Am                          F 
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink 
             C                                 E 
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think 
      Am                  F 
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones 
     C                              E            Am 
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones

verse 3 

E 
(Oh my, my, my, my) 

Am                    F 
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied 
            C                                      E7 
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised 
          Am                       F 
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road 
          C                                E              Am 
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads 

End on Am
