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

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

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