Verse 1:
A minorAm
Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
A minorAm
I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read
E minorEm                          A minorAm
I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
E minorEm                                     A minorAm
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too

Verse 2:
A minorAm
Tennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wire
A minorAm
I've got a little money, I could get a little higher
E minorEm
I was alright awhile but you know how it goes
E minorEm                          A minorAm
Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose


Verse 3:
A minorAm
I never did like the people where I was employed
A minorAm
They was always out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid

Now I'm workin' for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime
E minorEm                            A minorAm
If what we're here to do is learn to forgive each other, I'm gon' need a little more time

It's too soon to tell what's goin' to happen to you when you die

Verse 4:
A minorAm
It's too soon to tell what we'll ever avenge
A minorAm
They say that living well is the best revenge
   E minorEm                  A minorAm
I say, "Bullshit, the best revenge is revenge"
E minorEm                  A minorAm
This isn't over, we're going to meet again

You got a better kinda secret, better wait 'til I'm asleep

And if you're so God almighty well then what's with all this mystery?

Yes, I would love trust you, buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from me

In bright red letters hangin' off of the door

I'm walkin' down the hill without my fortune read
