Verse 1:
E
I got a suspicion that the world is on a mission
D A E
To show me just how little I can do
E
The good times go by fast, all the bad ones seems to last
D A E
So much longer than I'd ever want them to
D A
The way we deal with troubles reveals how much we know
D A E B7
They often make us stronger but they lay us pretty low before they do
Verse 2:
E
Well, some say they dont worry, help is comin' in a hurry
D A E
Celestial sirens soundin' so divine
E
Comin down so holy, trailin' clouds of glory
D A E
Bands of angels hustlin' up behind
D A
Santa Claus is comin', and the Easter bunny too
D A
Tinkerbell's been runnin' late, but that ain't nothin' new
E B7
She takes her time
Verse 3:
E
Well, its just superheroes in all sizes comin like the sea that rises
D A E
In a tide to wash away our tears
E
They never show up till we need 'em
E
Not before were bruised and bleedin'
D E
And the nick of time is music to their ears

Dressed in ties and tails, a sight for jaded eyes
D A
And the whiteness of their suits sets off the blackness of the lies we never
E B7
hear

E
If you're empty deep inside, they'll take you for a ride
D A E
And they'll charge you double just for pointing out the hole
D A
Slick as Simple Simon in a coat of shining mail
D A E B7
With an attitude of innocence that never ever fails to leave you cold
[V5]
E
Well, the next time you're in trouble when life's feelin' like a bubble
D E
A.
Gettin' bigger while your mind is gettin' small
E
Skip the flash and thunder, dial up your own number
D A E
See if you can answer your own call
D A
The conversation's brutal, it's often pretty clear
D A E
It's brief and to the point and, if you stick it in your ear, you'll hear it all
E D A D A D A E
/// ///
You'll hear it all
