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