Bm D7
Let's pour some gasoline on all the
G7 F#7 Bm
things we can't ignore anymore
D7 G7
'Til the oxygen is thinner than the
F#7 Bm D7
line that you draw 'cross your jaw every
G7 F#7 Bm
time I crack a joke. Don't ya know?
D7
It is killing me to
G7 F#7 Bm
watch this thing get the better of you
D7 G7
It is driving me insane the way the
F#7 Bm D7
cage has sunk into your head
G7
You're not dead
F#7
You got a heartbeat in you.
Em A C F#7
Bm D7
Gather up your gumption,
G7 F#7 Bm
get your guts unglued, and go, go, go
D7 G7 F#7
On and on until they drop out of you
Bm D7
Anything, just begin anew
G7 F#7 Bm
So, you got a screw or two loose, boo hoo.
D7
It is killing me to
G7 F#7 Bm
watch this thing get the better of you
D7 G7
It is driving me insane the way you
F#7 Bm
claim to be okay but quit
D7 G7
playing the game, started staying the same
F#7
You got nothin' to say
Em A C F#7
Bm D7
So, you're tired. Well, we're all tired
G7 F#7 Bm
We're weary to the bones, same as you
D7
Bless your rest instead of festering
G7 F#7 Bm
Better yet: go put it to some use
D7 G7 F#7 Bm
Work to do. Gotta start and gotta see it through
D7
It is killing me to
G7 F#7 Bm
watch this thing get the better of you
D7 G7 F#7
It is driving me insane the way you can find
Bm A7 E7 F#7
complaint with a saint or the sainthood, holier than thou
Bm A7 E7 F#7
Grief with the thief and the gambler, the rich and their riches
Bm A7 E7 F#7
Hate for the haughty; no hope for the humble
Bm A7 E7 F#7
Not so kind a word as can't be muttered or mumbled
Bm A7 E7 F#7
No word to encourage when my knees start to buckle
Bm A7 E7 F#7
Can't you give me a sign that it's worth all of this trouble
Bm A# G G#
to look you in the eye in the mirror every day?
