Intro
Bm A D x2
Bm A D
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
G Gm D
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Bm A D
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
G G#7 A
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
F# Bm A D
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
G D A F#
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Bm D G D
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
G Bm F#7 G
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Bm D G D
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
G Bm A G
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
E7/G# G-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
Bm A D x2
Bm A D
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
G Gm D
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Bm A D
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
G G#7 A
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
F# Bm A D
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
G D A F#
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Bm D G D
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
G Bm F#7 G
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Bm D G D
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
G Bm A G
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
E7/G# G
And when he comes baby
E7/G# G-Fm
When he comes baby
D
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
F# Bm F# Bm A D A D
F# Bm
I know it's harder
F# Bm
To just surrender
F# Bm
When your white flag, mister,
F# Bm
Is spoiled by murder
A D A F# Bm D Dm-G-F#
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Bm A D
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
G Gm D
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Bm A D
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
G G#7 A
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
F# Bm A D
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
G D A F#
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Bm D G D
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
G Bm F# G
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Bm D G D
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
G Bm A G
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
E7/G# G
And when he comes baby
Bm D G
Yeah when he comes baby
Em A
And when he comes baby
F# Bm
He won't knock
