[D] [Em]
The reception's [C] gotten fuzzy, [D] [Em]
delicate balance [C] has shifted.
[D] [C]
Put on your gloves and [Em] your black pumps, [C]
let's pretend the fog [B] has lifted.
[Em]
Now you see me, [D] [Em]
now you don't, [D] [C]
now you say [Em] you love me.
[C]
Pretty soon [B] you won't if [Em] we get our full three score [C] and ten.
[A]
We won't pass this way [B] again, so kiss me with your [Em] mouth open.
[D] [Em]
Turn the tires toward [B] the street and stay [Em] sweet.

[C] [D] [Em]
All the chickens come [C] on home to [D] roost.
[Em]
Plump bodies blotting out the sky.
[D] [C]
You know it breaks my heart [Em] in half, in half.
[C]
When I see them trying [B] to fly, cuz you just [Em] can't do,
[C] [D] [Em]
things your body wasn't meant to.
[D] [C]
Hike up [Em] your fishnets.
[C]
I [B] know you, if [Em] we live to see the other side [C] of this.
[A]
I will remember your [B] kiss, so do it with your [E] mouth open.
[D] [C]
And take your foot off [B] of the brake, for [E] Christ's sake.
