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