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