Intro
Em D G x2
Em D G
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
C Cm G
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Em D G
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
C C#7 D
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
B Em D G
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
C G D B
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Em G C G
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
C Em B7 C
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Em G C G
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
C Em D C
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A7/C# C-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
Em D G x2
Em D G
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
C Cm G
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Em D G
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
C C#7 D
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
B Em D G
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
C G D B
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Em G C G
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
C Em B7 C
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Em G C G
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
C Em D C
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A7/C# C
And when he comes baby
A7/C# C-Fm
When he comes baby
G
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
B Em B Em D G D G
B Em
I know it's harder
B Em
To just surrender
B Em
When your white flag, mister,
B Em
Is spoiled by murder
D G D B Em G Dm-G-B
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Em D G
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
C Cm G
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Em D G
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
C C#7 D
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
B Em D G
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
C G D B
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Em G C G
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
C Em B C
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Em G C G
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
C Em D C
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
A7/C# C
And when he comes baby
Em G C
Yeah when he comes baby
Am D
And when he comes baby
B Em
He won't knock
