Each day it's a little more [Gm] scary Holding on in a way we just [Cm] barely
Moms and dads are rationed [Eb] in their cash [F] Or the [Dm] councilor could arm [Gm] against us
I [Eb] love going [F] all [Dm] the way [Gm] [Cm] To heaven [F] someone gave [Bb] me

Hey, when I know I wasn't ever, ever [Cm] happy Show me my best memories

[Bb] Stuck in thousands, just dreaming and [Gm] drifting Unofficially [Eb] lifted, only happy till the age of [F] ten
It's still a gift, but we can't go back [Eb] To those two, [F] two southern [Dm] men
[Gm] It's [C] just a dream we [F] all have [Bb] in vain
Mariner, the dirt train, [Gm] and all folks who oppose the apocalypse
[Cm] From Academy [F] Awards to pink slips
[Bb] A show in my cabaret with no F4 [Gm] years Now I'm standing in the rain making the shadow pee [Cm] appearance
They say, who's that shadow sneaking up behind the [F] pier?
He was rushed and he was rattled, now he's finally in the [Bb] clear
A refugee from the right way [Gm] With his white tuxedo and sad face
[Cm] A music group that your dad [F] plays Sing his songs in the autumn [Bb] days
He's a luthier in the Granite State [Gm] Now he doesn't even write, he just whips
