[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
A truck parked this [D]morning-
outside the grocery store
Friends face the future- they're
wearing summer clothes

Great cosmic [D]forces- like
falling dominoes
I love talking funny- it's the only

[Interlude 1]
song I know
[D][Dm][D]

[Verse 3]
Sweet smart and [D]sexy- the
day my life began
Burnt out and damaged- I

[Verse 4]
dragged my body home
[D]
This slice is [G]runny- [D]it's
dripping down my clothes
Flies stick to [G]honey- [D]it's

the only game they know
[D]
Poor [Dm]Boy- [D]I walk into the

Poor [Dm]Boy- [D]I'm sittin at the table with

a knife and spoon
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

They trust market forces- it's

[Verse 7]
the only song they know
[D]
So come and [C]rock my soul-
where sin and sorry [D]lie
White horses [C]carry [D]me-
un[C]to the other [D]side

Poor Boy- I'm livin in a country
where my thoughts are cold
Poor [Dm]Boy- I'm waitin [D]for the harvest of the seeds I sow

[C][D][Dm][D][Dm][D][C][D]
A [C]flower in

[Verse 9]
the night- with
thoughts of days [D]gone by
I've got to [C]ring that bell-
and I'll be sat[D]isfied

[Verse 10]
[D]
Poor Boy- I'm [C]wearin sil[D]ver slippers
and a long white [Dm]gown[D]
Poor [Dm]boy- I picture [D]in my mind the
[Dm]day the walls [D]come down
[C]

[Verse 11]
[Dm]
Poor [C]Boy- [D]I'm livin in a country
[Dm]where I'm never [D]free[C]
[D]Poor Boy- I'm [D]writing down
the names of all the [Dm]things I [D]see-

[Outro 1]
