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