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