Intro
A C#m E
A
did you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line
or the song about a movie of a book
C#m
like a stolen bouquet meant to be given away
E
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
C#m
resetting myself to when everything felt
E
like a book I'm holding under my arm
D A
but it's not that I want back all my innocence
D B E
just the joy of losing it again
A
the favorites get their favors
C#m E
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
A
the great one's all get greater
C#m E
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
C#m
the world is turning back into dust or maybe it's just
E
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
C#m
it's like we're running a race after spinning in place
E
we're pulling left when we've been moving straight
D A
but me I think I'll keep on spinning
D B E
and smile as I hit the ground
A
the favorites get their favors
C#m E
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
A
the great one's all get greater
C#m E
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
Bm F#m
Like a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it grows
D F#m E
Like a bird on the day that it's season is through, it knows
A
the favorites get their favors
C#m E
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
A
the great one's all get greater
C#m E
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
