[G] [D] He wakes up in the [G] morning, [D] does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling, never [G] changes a thing.
[D] The week ends, the week begins, she thinks.
We talk at each [A] other, wondering what [G] the other is thinking.
[D] He would never [G] say a thing, [D] these crimes [G] between us go [D] deeper.
[G] [D] Take his [G] chance and [D] place them in [G] a box until [Bm] they quiet [D] for time.
Next [G] time he'll swap them [D] out,
[G] [D] goes to visit [G] his mommy.
[D] He treats them well, has concerns, he forgets them, [F#m] and remembers being small.
Laying [G] under that table and [Bm] dreaming, [D] take these [G] chances, [D] place them in [G] the box [Bm] until they're empty.
Why [D] if the time [G] lights down, you up [D] and die?
[G] [A] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[Em] [D]
On this highway, all these cars end up [G] on the [D] sidewalk.
People [C#] in every [G] direction, [D] no words exchanged, no time to exchange.
When all the little [Em] lambs are marched in, [F#m] red and black, [E] ranting and [B] wailing,
[G] they [D] all do [F#] it the same.
[G] They [F#m] all do it [Em] the same.
[D]
[D] Got a man down the town, saying,
My [G] love's all right, I'm a sweet [D] dude, talk to nobody else.
Program a cop, saying,
My car's a Zim, Zim,
All my friends get lost around [G] town.
[Bm] [D] Dreaming, still [G] inside, [Bm] place them in [G] the box [E] until [B] they're empty.
Why if the time [G] lights down, you up and [D] die?
