Intro
C Em G
C
did you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line
or the song about a movie of a book
Em
like a stolen bouquet meant to be given away
G
to the girl that never gives you a look
C
well that's how I've been spending all my meantime
wondering if it's doing any harm
Em
resetting myself to when everything felt
G
like a book I'm holding under my arm
F C
but it's not that I want back all my innocence
F D G
just the joy of losing it again
C
the favorites get their favors
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
we got doctors that know everything about us
we can level cities by the end of the day
Em
the world is turning back into dust or maybe it's just
G
we're becoming all the god's that we've praised
C
or maybe the world is finally moving on without us
while we wait to see who's winning some debate
Em
it's like we're running a race after spinning in place
G
we're pulling left when we've been moving straight
F C
but me I think I'll keep on spinning
F D G
and smile as I hit the ground
C
the favorites get their favors
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
Dm Am
Like a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it grows
F Am G
Like a bird on the day that it's season is through, it knows
C
the favorites get their favors
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
Em G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
