Intro
Dm C F x2
Dm C F
I've been biting down my tongue all through the afternoon
A# A#m F
But now there's fractures in the glass around the snake pit
Dm C F
Cos while you gave your monologues about aiming for the moon
A# B7 C
I found some obvious flaws in your spaceship
A Dm C F
And though I hate to blow the foghorn, the point is moot
A# F C A
There's a thin man approaching in a suit and leather boots
Dm F A# F
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
A# Dm A7 A#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Dm F A# F
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
A# Dm C A#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
G7/B A#-Fm Am....
And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]
Dm C F x2
Dm C F
Giggling along on your Sunday dream
A# A#m F
Since when did you start acting like you owned us?
Dm C F
Cause you change your disquisitions by the hour, it seems
A# B7 C
And your parading around is makin' me nauseous
A Dm C F
You better drown your desperation in a Molotov
A# F C A
But you can't supplicate the scratching at your back door because
Dm F A# F
For all the times he warned ya and you didn't stop
A# Dm A7 A#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Dm F A# F
Babe, you're next in line or had you forgot?
A# Dm C A#
That he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
G7/B A#
And when he comes baby
G7/B A#-Fm
When he comes baby
F
He won't knock
[Bridge Intro]
A Dm A Dm C F C F
A Dm
I know it's harder
A Dm
To just surrender
A Dm
When your white flag, mister,
A Dm
Is spoiled by murder
C F C A Dm F Dm-G-A
But you threw them all to hell and if I was you I'd run and hide
Dm C F
But you're still slumbering away on your minute hand
A# A#m F
Swilling martinis like you're not locked inside the doghouse
Dm C F
And though you decorate your days with a fair and equitable grace
A# B7 C
You're simply swine in a suit playing honest
A Dm C F
But that thin man's approaching in his heavy leather boots
A# F C A
And he's waiting on the moment when he gets a hold of you
Dm F A# F
You can kick and scream and you can wail all you want
A# Dm A A#
You're gonna be taken out for all it is ya got
Dm F A# F
Babe, you're next in line for the chopping block
A# Dm C A#
And he's memorized the numbers right above your letterbox
G7/B A#
And when he comes baby
Dm F A#
Yeah when he comes baby
Gm C
And when he comes baby
A Dm
He won't knock
