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