Intro
B D# G#m E F# x4
G#m F# B
[Verse 1]
B D#
The animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.
G#m E F#
baby cries hard in an apartment complex,
B D#
As I pass in a car buried under the influence.
G#m E
The city's driving me out of my mind.
B D#
I 've seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
G#m E F#
He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree,
B D#
And lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
G#m E
Next time he will not aim so high.
G#m F# B
Yeah, next time, neither will I.
[Verse 2]
B D#
G# mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges.
G#m E F#
Her family is reduced to names on a shopping list.
B D#
Meanwhile, a coroner kneels, beneath a great, wooden crucifix.
G#m E
He know that there are worse things than being alone.
B D#
So, I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
G#m E F#
I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
B D#
Ambition, I've found, can only lead to failure.
G#m E
I do not read the reviews.
G#m F# B
No, I am not singing for you.
[Interlude]

G#m F# B
[Verse 3]
B D#
I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
G#m E F#
And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
B D#
With all these wishes I make, I should buy something real,
G#m E
At least a telephone call home.
B D#
Well, my teachers, they built the retaining wall memory,
G#m E F#
All those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
B D#
And I got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
G#m E
But as least I got an 'A'.
G#m F# B
So I don't have them to blame.
[Verse 4]
B D#
I should stop pointing fingers; reserve my judgment
G#m E F#
Of all those public action figures, the cowboy president.
B D#
So loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit
G#m E
When they've made a mistake.
B D#
While poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen,
G#m E F#
He knows he don't have to say it, so it don't bother him.
B D#
"Honesty" "Accuracy" are really just "Popular Opinion."
G#m E
And the approval rating's high.
G#m F# B
And so someone's gonna die.
[Verse 5]
B D#
Well, G#BC NBC CBS: Bullshit.
G#m E F#
They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split.
B D#
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
G#m E
We are still the pawns in their game.
B D#
As they take an eye for an eye until no one can see,
G#m E F#
And we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
B D#
Well, I guess that we all fit into your slogan on the fast food marquee:
G#m E
Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
G#m F# B
Oh, and the Blues? I got the Blues! That's me! That's me!
[Interlude]

G#m F# B
[Verse 6]
B D#
Well, I awoke in relief. My sheets and tubes were all tangled.
G#m E F#
Weak from whiskey and pills,in a Chicago hospital.
B D#
My father was there, in a chair by the window,
G#m E
staring so far away.
B D#
I tried talking, just whispered, "...so sorry...so selfish..."
G#m E F#
He stopped me and said, "Child I love you regardless
B D#
And there is nothing you could do that would ever change this.
G#m E
I'm not angry. It happens.
G#m F# B
But you just can't do it again.
[Verse 7]
B D#
So now I try to keep up, I have been exchanging my currency.
G#m E F#
While a million objects pass through my periphery.
B D#
So now I am rubbing my eyes because they are starting to bother me.
G#m E
I've been staring too long at the screen.
B D#
But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility?
G#m E F#
It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody.
B D#
How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery;
G#m E
To love and be loved.
G#m F# B
Let's just hope that is enough.
