Verse:
A minorAm
If you’re just asking for a reason
              FF
Reasons are everywhere you look
G+G            E minorEm
The only difference between them
A minorAm                FF
Are which you gave and which you took


Verse:
A minorAm
Every smile with some dark anticipation
                       FF
And dreams of back before it settled in their brows
G+G                   E minorEm
I don’t remember when I first began to notice
A minorAm             FF   Main Riff:
But I can’t think about it now
                  Main Riff:
I can’t think about it now


Verse:
A minorAm
The latest singer’s latest single’s got me listening
                     FF
For the pact between the writer and the star
G+G             E minorEm
This is how mythology is written
A minorAm                 FF
This is where the lawless jungles are

Verse:
A minorAm
She’s just a singer living mostly after midnight
                   FF
Pumping blood and money back into a town
G+G             E minorEm
And it all eventually betrays her
A minorAm              FF    Main Riff:
But I can’t think about it now
                Main Riff:
I can’t think about it now


Verse:
A minorAm
So I guess it makes me wonder what I’m chasing
                      FF
Like a dancer when she’s breaking in her shoes
G+G                       E minorEm
Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing
A minorAm                     FF
Displaying power we don’t know how else to use


Verse:
A minorAm
Sometimes it’s more than I could handle
                 FF
Sometimes it’s all the joy I’ve found
G+G                     E minorEm
And it’ll all end up on one side or the other
A minorAm              FF
But I can’t think about it now

Verse:
N.C.
The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks
N.C.
The narrative that naturally occurs
N.C.
The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar
N.C.
The poison that’s mistaken for a cure


Verse:
N.C.
All these backward glances putting me in danger
N.C.
Of forgetting how to turn myself around
N.C.
It’s just that time just keeps on slipping through my fingers
N.C.                Main Riff:
But I can’t think about it now
                  Main Riff:
I can’t think about it now
                  Main Riff:
I can’t think about it now
                  Main Riff:
I can’t think about it now
