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