_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You gotta get down to the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
downtown.
_ _ _ _ That's too short.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Come on. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't wanna work in a building downtown.
No, I don't wanna work in a building downtown.
[C] I don't know [Em] what I'm gonna do
[G] cause the planes keep crashing on me two by two.
[D] Don't wanna work in a building downtown.
[C] No, I don't wanna see [Em] it when the plane's hit the [G] ground. _ _ _
Don't wanna work in a building downtown.
Don't wanna work in a building downtown.
[C]
Walking the cars and kneeling on the ground.
[G] Voices when they scream, no, they make no [D] sound.
Won't see me standing here [C] trusting
the troublemaker's right [Em] on the back of the [G] bus.
Thank God I'm a good Christian man.
And boy, I know you understand
[C] that you gotta work [Em] hard and you gotta get [G] paid.
Little 17, but she don't have to wait.
[D]
She can sing like a bird in a [C] cage.
Oh, hello, you can see her when she's up on that [G] stage.
Know that I'm a God-fearing man.
Know that I'm a God-fearing [C] man.
Well, you just gotta know if the party open.
[G] See my daughter stare by your right.
[D]
Know the open door [Em] swallows the pain of the [C] lanterns
and you are the [G] last.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Now I'm _ [G] overcome _ _ [C] _
by the light [G] of day.
_ _ [C] _
Lips are near [G] but my heart's far [C] away.
Tell me what I'm [G] to say. _ _
[C] I'll be your [G] mouthpiece to the light of a bridge
that burns as I drive from the city with the money
that I [C] earned to the [Em] dark of a starless sky.
[G] Now I'm standing to nothing and I'm asking [C] why.
[D] Lord, you make a star [C] so the world can see
[Em] who you really [G] are.
Little girl, you're old enough to understand.
You've always been a stranger in this [C] great land.
And then you're gonna [Em] come where you want to [G] see.
You better just stay close and hold on to [D] me.
Now, little mockingbird, don't [C] sing.
I'm sure them daddy won't [Em] buy no diamond [G] ring.
Dear God, would you send me a child?
God, [A] would you send me a child?
I'm gonna put it up on the TV
[G] so the world can see what the true world means.
[D] Lord, would you send me a [E] child?
Just how I know if I'm [G] wasting my time. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Now I'm worn [G] _
_ by [C] _ the light [G]
of day.
[C] _ The lips are near [G] but my heart is far [C] away.
Now the world [G]
is one.
[A] Well, how come [E] nothing takes [G] two?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] Oh, you're such a sensitive child.
No, you're such a sensitive child.
No, you're tired, but it's all right.
Just need you to sing for me tonight.
Gonna have your day in the sun.
You know God loves the sensitive ones.
Oh, my birdie cake.
Oh, my birdie [C] cake.
Would you look it up for me up on my [G] stage?
Show the man that you're all here [D] is.
Now ain't no time for [C] fear.
But if you don't take [Em] it, it'll [G] disappear.
Oh, my birdie cake.
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing.
[C] Would you look it up on my stage for me, honey?
[G] Show the man it's not about the money.
[D]
I'll hold the mirror, look through the world,
[C] through the gate and see the self inside my little girl.
[G] Do you know why I'm fucking your age?
Any idea why I'm fucking boys?
I [C] was walking down town, but the mirror [G] moved away.
I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away.
[D] Ruby, cute, I'm Ruby, nonstop, [C] tell me,
Lord, am I the only man to cry? _
