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