There's a hole in your pocket, so you cannot find the change

Cavern of your mind, you say your pattern
       A augmentedA                D MajorD
You pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
BB             Bb majorBb
 "What was scripted, the day before it happened?"

We all give applause when people look and pause
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
But on the way out and get your back in
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
See, everything in life ain't silver and gold

You know, we could do so much better than this
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Swimmin' in pools of momentary bliss
     A augmentedA             D MajorD
