Chords with lyrics

F* - 055433

Intro : C majorC

C majorC    G+G
You were up to your necklace in drunk friends and wreckage
     C majorC
when the New Year
G+G
Stepped out of the past through the rose colored glass
C majorC
and dropped you off here
FF                        C majorC          FF
With a broken kazoo, a faded marijuana tattoo, and confetti in your hair
F*                            C majorC
Now you're Jesus' age, \but you've only been betrayed by the calendar

G+G
Your mother remarried

after your father was buried
     C majorC
in this sailor's suit
G+G
Now she sells real estate,

he floats in his grave,
   C majorC
and neither has much to say to you
    FF
So you follow a cloud
                 C majorC
to a Betsy Ross shroud and see the wind try to rip it in two
F*
But it don't make you feel any better

when you're under the weather
           C majorC
and it's hanging over you

FF
It's fading, It's fading
C majorC             FF
So what are you going to do now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
             FF
But you're thinking of throwing in the towel
C majorC    FF       D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on

C majorC

G+G
Mystery is bandaged

with routine, Plaster-of-Paris,
C majorC
and mosquito net
G+G
While paint thinner blades
                   C majorC
strip the windshield of salt cake and sunset
FF
Someone once said

the humble would stumbled
C majorC                 FF
onto something long forgotten and ravaged,
F*
But your dreams soak the pillow
     C majorC
just as a thimble of rain feeds the cactus

G+G
So drain your bruises,

cut your scapegoats loose
      C majorC
and confess ignorance
G+G
Pull a metaphor out of a river
            C majorC
or a door and add your fingerprints
FF
You could always go west

just like the rest
C majorC              FF
and bury your head into the hot sand
F*
Or you could dust your broom
               C majorC
and dissolve the moon on your eyelids


FF
It's fading, It's fading
C majorC             FF
So what are you going to do now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
             FF
But you're thinking of throwing in the towel
C majorC    FF       D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on

Enjoy.
