[Intro 1]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]
[F]

[Verse 1]
[F]I've [G]really
[F]got to [G]clean up my room
You [F]know it's been so [G]long
[F]since I'v[G]e seen my [F]floor
It's getting [G]kind [F]of scary [G]in fact I suspect
[F]That when I finally clear awa[G]y I
won't know [F]her anymore

[Verse 2]
How [G]we'll have grown so far apart
From [F]those [G]early days
with a fresh new start
[F]So in [G]the end it won't matter at [F]all
So why should [G]I bother with
the rise and the fall?
So [F]I quietly [G]lay back down
and watch [F]TV
[G]

[Verse 3]
[F]
But [G]these are the things
we tell [C]ourselves[G][F]
[G]Oh, eventual stories
designed to [C]amuse[G]
It's a game we play
and we play it [C]well[G][F]
[G]In fact we're so damn good
that we try to [C]lose[G][F]
[G]So

[Verse 4]
we can keep hiding
So we can sur[F]vive
And keep [G]on believing
Someday we'll go [F]outside and drive
[G]Gonna go out[F]side [G]an [F]d drive

[Verse 5]
I have re[G]solved not to leave my [F]house
Till my floor [G]comes back
and my room [F]is clean
So I'm [G]really kind of glad that
my TV's here
While I concoct my plan to fulfill [C]my dream
[F]Now

[Verse 6]
[G]won't that be wonderful
when I'll [C]finally [F]be done
I [G]just can't wait for it then I'll
start to have fun
It's getting hard lately to concentrate
All my appointments canceled
'cause [F]I'm horribly late
You know I think [C]I need a pris[F]on,
in order [G]to dream of being free
[D]But

[Verse 7]
[G]these are things
we tell [C]ourselves[G][F]
[G]Oh, eventual stories designed
to [C]amuse[G][F]
[G]It's a game we play
and we play it [C]well[G][F]
[G]In fact we're so damn good
that we try [C]to lose[G]

[Verse 8]
So [G]we can keep hiding
[C]So we can surviv[F]e
And keep on [G]believing
Someday we'll go outside [Dm]and drive

[Verse 9]
[F]Now weeks have [G]gone by
and my room's not done
[F]In fact I could say[G] that it's
gotten much [F]worse
Old Chinese [G]food and ravioli cans
[F]Amongst the crumpled let[G]ters
[C]the mood's quite perver[F]se

[Verse 10]
But I [F]got a new [G]TV with [C]a remote control
[F]Sty[G]rofoam and instructions fill that h[F]ole[G]
[F]Where I once cleared a path
[G]where I once blazed a trail
To [F]the bath[G]room, but I [C]fear that a nail
[F]Is buried the[C]re now and[G] I s[C]tep ver[G]y rar[F]ely
[G]Try[C] not to [G]get out of bed[F]
[G][F][G]

[Verse 11]
[F]You know tomorrow I'l[G]l get
up and I'll walk out my door
[F]And life will ret[G]urn to the way that it was
[F]But I think I'm get[G]ting sick
I'd better give it a [F]day
It [G]must not get a foothold,
but it usually [F]does

[Verse 12]
So I'll [F]sit [G]right here till I'm old and [F]gray
I [G]need my rest after all I'm
wasting [F]away
And I just saw [G]a cockroach
crawl out of [F]my sneaker
[G]I think he's biding his time till

[Verse 13]
I get somewhat weaker
[G]
[F]Thing[G]s could still work out for
me as [F]long as I'm not [G]dead
As long as I'm not, as long as I'm,
[F]I'm [C]not [G]dea[F]d,
I'm, I'm [G]not
[Dm]I'm not [F]dead, [G]no I'm not[F] dead,
[G]no I'm, I'm[F] not dea[C]d, I'm[G] not dead
[F]But

[Verse 14]
[G]these are the things
we tell [C]ourselves[G][F]
[G]Oh, eventual stories designed
to [C]amuse[G]
It's a game we play
and we play it [C]well[G][F]
[G]In fact we're so damn good that
we try to [C]lose[G][F]
[G]So we

[Verse 15]
[C]can keep hiding
So we can sur[F]vive
And keep [C]on believ[G]ing
Someday we'll go out
[F]side [G]an d drive
We're gonna [C]go out[G]side and drive

[Verse 16]
I'm still [C]alive, yeah
[F]Is it raining or is it sunny?
I [F]wonder if it's light out[G]side
What's [F]it like outside?
Is it sunny [F]or is it rainy?

[Outro 1]
I wonder if it's raining
