Intro
Gm F A# x2
Gm F A#
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
D# D#m A#
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Gm F A#
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
D# E7 F
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
D Gm F A#
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
D# A# F D
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Gm A# D# A#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
D# Gm D7 D#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Gm A# D# A#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
D# Gm F D#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
C7/E D#-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
Gm F A# x2
Gm F A#
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
D# D#m A#
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Gm F A#
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
D# E7 F
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
D Gm F A#
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
D# A# F D
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Gm A# D# A#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
D# Gm D7 D#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Gm A# D# A#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
D# Gm F D#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
C7/E D#
And when he comes baby
C7/E D#-Fm
When he comes baby
A#
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
D Gm D Gm F A# F A#
D Gm
I know it's harder
D Gm
To just surrender
D Gm
When your white flag, mister,
D Gm
Is spoiled by murder
F A# F D Gm A# Dm-G-D
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Gm F A#
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
D# D#m A#
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Gm F A#
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
D# E7 F
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
D Gm F A#
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
D# A# F D
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Gm A# D# A#
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
D# Gm D D#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Gm A# D# A#
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
D# Gm F D#
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
C7/E D#
And when he comes baby
Gm A# D#
Yeah when he comes baby
Cm F
And when he comes baby
D Gm
He won't knock
