[A]
[E]
[A] [E] Cause I lost my job two
[A] weeks [E] before Christmas And [A]
[E] I talked to Jesus at the sewer
[A]
And the Pope said it was [E] none of his goddamn business
[A] [E] While the rain drank champagne [A]
My Estonian archangel [E] came and got me wasted
[A] Cause [E] the sweetest kiss I ever got [A]
is the one I've never [E]
tasted
Oh [A]
but they'll [E] take their [A] bonus pay To [Abm]
[E] Molly McDonald, [B] [A] [E]
neon lady
[A]
Beauties that which [Abm] obeys is bought [B] or borrowed Cause [E]
[A]
[E] my heart's become a crooked hotel
[A]
Full [E] of rumors, [A]
but [E] it's I who pays the rent For [A]
these fingered face [E]
autotuners
And [A]
[E] I make sixteen solid half hour friendships [A]
[E] Every evening
Cause
[A] [E] your queen of hearts who's half a stone and likes to laugh [A]
alone
Is always threatening you [E] with leaving
[A] Oh but they'll [E] play [A] those token games on [Abm]
Willie Thompson
[B] And [A] [E]
give a medal to replace the [A]
son of [Abm]
Mrs.
[B] Annie Johnson
Cause [E]
[A]
[E] they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues
[A]
And I explained that I had [E] overpaid them So
[A] [E]
overdue I went to the company store
[A] And the clerk there said that [E] they had just been invaded
So
[A] [E]
I set sail in a teardrop [A]
and escaped beneath [E] the door sill
Cause
[A] [E] the smell of her perfume
[A] echoes in my [E]
head still
Cause
[A] [E]
[A]
[E]
[A]
I [E] see my people trying to drown the sun [A] In weekends of [E] whiskey sours
[A]
[E] Cause how many times can you wake up in this [A] comic book
[E] And plant flowers?
