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