Intro
Em
[Verse 1]
Em C
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
G B Em
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
Em C
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
G B
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
Em C
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
G B Em
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
C
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
G B7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
Em C
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
G B
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Em C
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
G B Em
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Em C Em C Bm Em
[Verse 2]
Em C
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
G B Em
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
Em C
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
G B
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
Em C
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
G B Em
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Em C
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
G B7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
Em C
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
G B
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Em C
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
G B Em
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Em C G C
[Verse 3]
B
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Em C
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
G B7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
Em C
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
G B Em
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
