[Intro 1]
[A][Am][F][C][D][Dm][A][Am][F][C][D][Dm]
[Am][F][C][D][G]
[Am][F][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
The imita[Am]tion picks you up like [F]a habit
[C]Writing in the glow
[D]of the TV's stat[G]ic
[Am]Taking out the trash [F]to the man
[C]Give the people something
they'd [D]un derstand
[G]A sti[Am]ck man flashing a fine-lined smi[F]le
smile
[C]Junk bond trader try[D]ing
to sell a [G]sucker a stock
[Am]Rich man in a poor[F] man's clothes
The [C]permanent install[D]ment of the [G]daily
dose
[Am][F][C][D][G][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
[C][D]
[G]And[Am] you tell off
[F]when you tell it like it is
[C]Your world's no [D]wider
than your [G]hatred of his
[Am]Check into a sma[F]ll reality
[C]Boring as a drug you take [D]too reg[G]ularly
The [Am]athlete's laugh, the [F]broken crutch
The [C]first true love that fol[D]ded
at [F]the slight[G]est [Am]touch
Brought down like an [F]old hotel
People [C]digging through rubble
for [D]things they can resell
[G][A]

[Verse 3]
Happy [D]hol[A]idays, sad [G]sick [Em]savior
[A]The leaving lov[Esus4]er
that [F]I s[Dm]till f[G]a vor
[A]I won't take your med[D]i ci[A]ne,
I don't [G]need a rem[Em]edy[A]
To be [E]everything [Esus4]I'm
[F]supposed to [G]be[Em]
[A]I don't want nobody else,
I can do [G]it by myself
[Em]We're mean[A]t to be to g[E]ether
[Esus4][F][Dm][Em][C][A]
[G]Oh,[Em][A][Am][G]
[F][G][Bm][G]
[Am][F][C][D]
[Dm]oh[G][Am]
[F][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[F]Now[G] I'm[Am] a policeman
dir[F]ecting traffic
Keeping [C]everything moving,
[D]everything [F]static
[G]I'm[Am] a hitchhiker you'll
re[F]cognize passing
[C]On your way to some
[D]everlast[Dm] ing[G][Am]
Better [F]sell it

[Verse 5]
while you can
[C]Bet[D]ter[G] se[Am]ll it while[F] you can
[C]Bet[D]ter[Dm] sel[G]l it[Am][F]
while you [C]can[D][F][G][Am]
Better [F]sell it while you [C]can

[Outro 1]
