Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [G]Some men collapse at the[Am] racetrack [G]Their wrong and beat up, their eyes black Others wilt in [Am]casinos Roll dice and [G]piss away speedboats Some dissolve into [Am]bar stools Scratched [G]off in boxes and playoff pools I spent myself on [C]a psych[Am]ic [G]I lost my way and a friend said she would find it Man, we [C]were [D]wrong. Man, we [Em]were [G]wrong. I [C]asked for the future, [Adim]She only sang me a s[G]ong. [Verse 2] [G]Some men they go make their [Am]own luck [C]Gro[G]w fat from feeding on lame ducks The easy mark and the [Am]old [Bm]maid The invalid and the in[G]grate Others wait for that [A]high [Am]sign Some [G]holy [Bm]hoax in [G]the tree- line Me, I'm counting my [Am]canned food [Bm]Bunkered down [G]waiting out our slingshot moods But what if [C]I'm [D]wrong? What if [Em]I'm [G]wrong? [C]I'll open my doors up [Adim]People, come sweep me along. [Interlude 1] [G][Em][A][C][G][Em] [A][C][G][Em][A][C][G] [Em][A][Am][C][Cm][D] [Verse 3] Eyes are fixed and [Am]my palms are spread [C]Dissonance floats my ship[G]wrecked head God sleeps in the Ga[Am]za strip [Bm]And man alone's left alone to live with [G]it The coin- flip faith of the op[Am]timist [D]It's be[Bm]ginners [D]luck in a sew[G]ing kit What's to do when there [Am]is no fix [D]On [Bm]the u[D]nflinching a[G]mbivalence? [Verse 4] But you say [C]that's [D]wrong Hopeless an[Em]d wro[G]ng We [C]re- thread your needle, You [Adim]say, "God, play along." [Outro 1] [G][C][G][A][Gdim] [G][C][G][C#dim][Gdim][G][C#dim] [Gdim][G]
