Intro
Fm D# G# x2
Fm D# G#
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
C# C#m G#
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Fm D# G#
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
C# D7 D#
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
C Fm D# G#
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
C# G# D# C
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Fm G# C# G#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
C# Fm C7 C#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Fm G# C# G#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
C# Fm D# C#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A#7/D C#-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
Fm D# G# x2
Fm D# G#
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
C# C#m G#
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Fm D# G#
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
C# D7 D#
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
C Fm D# G#
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
C# G# D# C
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Fm G# C# G#
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
C# Fm C7 C#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Fm G# C# G#
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
C# Fm D# C#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A#7/D C#
And when he comes baby
A#7/D C#-Fm
When he comes baby
G#
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
C Fm C Fm D# G# D# G#
C Fm
I know it's harder
C Fm
To just surrender
C Fm
When your white flag, mister,
C Fm
Is spoiled by murder
D# G# D# C Fm G# Dm-G-C
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Fm D# G#
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
C# C#m G#
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Fm D# G#
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
C# D7 D#
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
C Fm D# G#
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
C# G# D# C
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Fm G# C# G#
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
C# Fm C C#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Fm G# C# G#
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
C# Fm D# C#
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A#7/D C#
And when he comes baby
Fm G# C#
Yeah when he comes baby
A#m D#
And when he comes baby
C Fm
He won't knock
