Intro
A#m G# C# x2
A#m G# C#
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
F# F#m C#
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
A#m G# C#
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
F# G7 G#
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
F A#m G# C#
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
F# C# G# F
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
A#m C# F# C#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F# A#m F7 F#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A#m C# F# C#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
F# A#m G# F#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D#7/G F#-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
A#m G# C# x2
A#m G# C#
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
F# F#m C#
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
A#m G# C#
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
F# G7 G#
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
F A#m G# C#
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
F# C# G# F
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
A#m C# F# C#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
F# A#m F7 F#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A#m C# F# C#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
F# A#m G# F#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D#7/G F#
And when he comes baby
D#7/G F#-Fm
When he comes baby
C#
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
F A#m F A#m G# C# G# C#
F A#m
I know it's harder
F A#m
To just surrender
F A#m
When your white flag, mister,
F A#m
Is spoiled by murder
G# C# G# F A#m C# Dm-G-F
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
A#m G# C#
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
F# F#m C#
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
A#m G# C#
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
F# G7 G#
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
F A#m G# C#
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
F# C# G# F
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
A#m C# F# C#
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
F# A#m F F#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
A#m C# F# C#
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
F# A#m G# F#
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
D#7/G F#
And when he comes baby
A#m C# F#
Yeah when he comes baby
D#m G#
And when he comes baby
F A#m
He won't knock
