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