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