Intro
C, E, Am, F, F x4
A# D
The animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.
Gm D# F
baby cries hard in an apartment complex,
A# D
As I pass in a car buried under the influence.
Gm D# F
The city's driving me out of my mind.
A# D
I've seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
Gm D# F
He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree,
A# D
And lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
Gm D# F
Next time he will not aim so high.
Gm F A#
Yeah, next time, neither will I.
A# D
G mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges.
Gm D# F
Her family is reduced to names on a shopping list.
A# D
Meanwhile, a coroner kneels, beneath a great, wooden crucifix.
Gm D# F
He knows that there are worse things than being alone.
A# D
So, I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
Gm D# F
I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
A# D
Ambition, I've found, can only lead to failure.
Gm D# F
I do not read the reviews.
Gm F A#
No, I am not singing for you.
C, E, Am, F, F x4.

A# D
I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
Gm D# F
And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
A# D
With all these wishes I make, I should buy something real,
Gm D# F
At least a telephone call home.
A# D
Well, my teachers, they built the retaining wall memory,
Gm D# F
All those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
A# D
And I got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
Gm D# F
But at least I got an 'A'.
Gm F A#
So I don't have them to blame.
A# D
I should stop pointing fingers; reserve my judgment
Gm D# F
Of all those public action figures, the cowboy president.
A# D
So loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit
Gm D# F
When they've made a mistake.
A# D
While poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen,
Gm D# F
He knows he don't have to say it, so it don't bother him.
A# D
"Honesty" "Accuracy" are really just "Popular Opinion."
Gm D# F
And the approval rating's high.
Gm F A#
And so someone's gonna die.
A# D
Well, ABC, NBC, CBS: Bullshit.
Gm D# F
They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split.
A# D
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
Gm D# F
We are still the pawns in their game.
A# D
As they take an eye for an eye until no one can see,
Gm D# F
And we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
A# D
Well, I guess that we all fit into your slogan on the fast food marquee:
Gm D# F
Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
Gm F A#
Oh, and the Blues? I got the Blues! That's me! That's me!

A# D
Well, I awoke in relief. My sheets and tubes were all tangled.
Gm D# F
Weak from whiskey and pills, in a Chicago hospital.
A# D
My father was there, in a chair by the window,
Gm D# F
staring so far away.
A# D
I tried talking, just whispered, "...so sorry...so selfish..."
Gm D# F
He stopped me and said, "Child I love you regardless
A# D
And there is nothing you could do that would ever change this.
Gm D# F
I'm not angry. It hap-pens.
Gm F A#
But you just can't do it again.
A# D
So now I try to keep up, I have been exchanging my currency.
Gm D# F
While a million objects pass through my periphery.
A# D
So now I am rubbing my eyes because they are starting to bother me.
Gm D# F
I've been staring too long at the screen.
A# D
But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility?
Gm D# F
It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest of melodies.
A# D
How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery;
Gm D# F
To love and to be loved.
Gm F A#
Let's just hope that is enough.
