Intro
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm A#
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
F A Dm
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
Dm A#
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
F A
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
Dm A#
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
F A Dm
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
A#
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
F A7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
Dm A#
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
F A
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Dm A#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
F A Dm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Dm A# Dm A# Am Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm A#
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
F A Dm
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
Dm A#
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
F A
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
Dm A#
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
F A Dm
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Dm A#
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
F A7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
Dm A#
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
F A
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Dm A#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
F A Dm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Dm A# F A#
[Verse 3]
A
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Dm A#
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
F A7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
Dm A#
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
F A Dm
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
End on Am
