Intro
F#m E A x2
F#m E A
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
D Dm A
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
F#m E A
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
D D#7 E
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
C# F#m E A
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
D A E C#
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
F#m A D A
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
D F#m C#7 D
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
F#m A D A
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
D F#m E D
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
B7/D# D-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
F#m E A x2
F#m E A
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
D Dm A
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
F#m E A
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
D D#7 E
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
C# F#m E A
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
D A E C#
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
F#m A D A
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
D F#m C#7 D
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
F#m A D A
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
D F#m E D
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
B7/D# D
And when he comes baby
B7/D# D-Fm
When he comes baby
A
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
C# F#m C# F#m E A E A
C# F#m
I know it's harder
C# F#m
To just surrender
C# F#m
When your white flag, mister,
C# F#m
Is spoiled by murder
E A E C# F#m A Dm-G-C#
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
F#m E A
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
D Dm A
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
F#m E A
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
D D#7 E
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
C# F#m E A
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
D A E C#
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
F#m A D A
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
D F#m C# D
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
F#m A D A
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
D F#m E D
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
B7/D# D
And when he comes baby
F#m A D
Yeah when he comes baby
Bm E
And when he comes baby
C# F#m
He won't knock
