Intro
Gm
[Verse 1]
Gm D#
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
A# D Gm
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
Gm D#
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
A# D
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
Gm D#
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
A# D Gm
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
D#
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
A# D7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
Gm D#
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
A# D
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Gm D#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
A# D Gm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Gm D# Gm D# Dm Gm
[Verse 2]
Gm D#
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
A# D Gm
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
Gm D#
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
A# D
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
Gm D#
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
A# D Gm
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Gm D#
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
A# D7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
Gm D#
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
A# D
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Gm D#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
A# D Gm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Gm D# A# D#
[Verse 3]
D
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Gm D#
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
A# D7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
Gm D#
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
A# D Gm
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
