Intro
G#m
[Verse 1]
G#m E
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
B D# G#m
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
G#m E
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
B D#
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
G#m E
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
B D# G#m
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
E
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
B D#7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
G#m E
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
B D#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
G#m E
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
B D# G#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
G#m E G#m E D#m G#m
[Verse 2]
G#m E
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
B D# G#m
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
G#m E
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
B D#
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
G#m E
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
B D# G#m
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
G#m E
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
B D#7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
G#m E
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
B D#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
G#m E
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
B D# G#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
G#m E B E
[Verse 3]
D#
(Oh my, my, my, my)
G#m E
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
B D#7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
G#m E
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
B D# G#m
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
