Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Capo 3
Intro - A minorAm G+G C majorC x2
A minorAm G+G C majorC
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
FF F minorFm C majorC
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
FF F#7F#7 G+G
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
E MajorE A minorAm G+G C majorC
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
FF C majorC G+G E MajorE
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
FF A minorAm E MajorE FF
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
FF A minorAm G+G FF
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D MajorD F-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
....Instrumental - A minorAm G+G C majorC x2
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
FF F minorFm C majorC
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
FF F#7F#7 G+G
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
E MajorE A minorAm G+G C majorC
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
FF C majorC G+G E MajorE
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
FF A minorAm E MajorE FF
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
FF A minorAm G+G FF
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D MajorD FF
And when he comes baby
D MajorD F-Fm
When he comes baby
C majorC
He won't knock
Bridge Intro - E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
E MajorE A minorAm
I know it's harder
E MajorE A minorAm
To just surrender
E MajorE A minorAm
When your white flag, mister,
E MajorE A minorAm
Is spoiled by murder
G+G C majorC G+G E MajorE A minorAm C majorC Dm-G-E
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
A minorAm G+G C majorC
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
FF F minorFm C majorC
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
A minorAm G+G C majorC
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
FF F#7F#7 G+G
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
E MajorE A minorAm G+G C majorC
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
FF C majorC G+G E MajorE
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
FF A minorAm E MajorE FF
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
FF A minorAm G+G FF
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D MajorD FF
And when he comes baby
D MajorD F-Fm
Yeah when he comes baby
A minorAm
He won't knock
