G Looking out across suburban yards to the construct of our D/F# days through the thinning of the trees. csus How come I only build a house of cards? D/F# That gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze. D When I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss. c That's just the cool tongue of the devil with a sucker in D his midst. [Chorus:] D One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call. D I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all. G 'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl. csus My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste. D/F# It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed. csus Will this be the measure of my days? D/F# Dinners and appointments and deadlines I can't make. D And when I start to see it making sense for me. D That's just hope springing eternally. [Chorus] G Outside the summer's gone for good. c Dying impatiens stacked up wood. G My friends will get together to cook. D To talk about what's happened to take a second look. csus The master loves the servant who blind heeds him. D/F# The husband the obedient wife. csus The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him. D/F# Even if you love him even if you save his life.
