[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][Dm][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Where did you
go [Dm]after the [C]parade[Dm]
I wandered,
[C]searching for abo[Dm]ut an hour
Then I [C]parked it on a bench
[Dm]Shifting and sulk[C]ing
Those [Dm]pesky [C]little mosquitoes
They [Dm]nearly, nearly, nearly,
nearly drained [F]me

[Verse 2]
Then a man [C]dripping with [F]vitalis
Said I looked like [C]Joe [F]Namath
He asked me did I used
[C]to be famous
And I said [F]"neighbor, I'm famously late"
[C]And[Csus4] I said "[C]neighbor,[F]
[C]I'm famously late"

[Verse 3]
[C]
Where did you go [Dm]after the [C]parade[Dm][C]
You never even [Dm]appeared to enjoy it
I [C]came out of it [Dm]with a
slight [C]experience
[Dm]Drinking [C]and how[Dm]ling at

[Verse 4]
the natives
[F]
You're a great at disap[C]pearing[F]
You left me with an ear [C]ache[F]
I spit into the [C]swan lake say[F]ing
"what a hideous re[C]view"[Csus4][C]
Saying, [F]"what a [C]hideous review"

[Verse 5]
[F]Weather, baromet[G]ric [Ab]pressure
Push me [C]to [F]the ground
My [G]stomach is [C]growling[F]
I always [G]heard this [Ab]was such
a festive [C]town
[F]But everybody over ten years
old is frown[C]ing
[F]Everybody over ten years
old [C]is frowning

[Verse 6]
[C]Where did you [Dm]go after t[C]he parade
[Dm]I didn't ex[C]pecting you to
[Dm]be bolting away
Remem[C]ber the time you took me
[Dm]To see Harold [C]and Maude
'cause I did[Dm]n't know the meani[C]ng
[Dm]Of the word catharsis

[Verse 7]
[F]
We are busy [C]weaklings[F]
Poking around [C]for reasons
We [F]are happy little [C]heathens
It's just [F]time we both [C]ad mit it
It's [F]time we both [C]admit it
