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