Intro
C# Fm G#
C#
did you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line
or the song about a movie of a book
Fm
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
Fm
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
Fm G#
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C#
the great one's all get greater
Fm 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
Fm
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
Fm
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
Fm G#
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C#
the great one's all get greater
Fm G#
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
D#m A#m
Like a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it grows
F# A#m G#
Like a bird on the day that it's season is through, it knows
C#
the favorites get their favors
Fm G#
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C#
the great one's all get greater
Fm G#
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
