[Verse 1]
Dm9                             
   Four of us were having dinner
Cmaj9

Dm9                               
   And I threw down the paper with
        Cmaj9
 a curse
                  Dm9          
And my wife said   "Complaining 
                          Em9
doesn't get it, you got to do 
something,
         Fm9                    Gm9
or you can bet it will get worse”
Dm9                               
   And my friend said   "You've 
         Cmaj9
been watching
Dm9              Cmaj9
   T.V.   too   much

Fm9*           Em9*      Dm9*   
    And  all  that     hippie   
     Fm9                         
     hopefulness is just a crutch
Gm9 Fm9* Gm9

            Dm9                   
But if thinking that way helps you
Cmaj9

    Dm9                    Cmaj9
To make it through the night
     Dm9         Em9          
Then who am I   to say   what's 
                  Gm9 Fm9* Gm9
wrong and right?"

[Chorus]
  Fm9             Gm9       
But I think  we're passing    
   Am9                  Bm9
through here kind of fast
Fm9                 Em9          
Did you think   these tracks   in
                 Am9      Gm9* Am9
 the dust would last?
 Gm9*

 Fm9            Gm9             
I think    we're passing    
Am9                     Bm9
through here kind of   fast
Fm9                   Em9        
Did you think  these tracks    in
                   Dm9
 the dust would last?

[Verse 2]
Dm9                               
"So you think we all should just 
    Cmaj9
sit here
     Dm9                       Cmaj9
Maybe have another glass of wine
  Dm9                           
While the world goes to hell,  which
Em9
 you know damn well
 Fm9                          
it's going to do just down the 
     Gm9
line?"
         Dm9                   
And his lady said "I dunno,  how can
Cmaj9
 you be so sure
  Dm9                          
I mean, some things seem to get 
   Cmaj9
better
Fm9*       Em9*     Dm9*   
The hero  still    saves the   
     Em9
damsel in distress
Gm9                        Fm9* Gm9
The villan doesn't get her"
            Dm9                
And I said "Where have you been 
    Cmaj9
living?
                  Dm9              
I mean they're selling death in the
            Em9
 streets, cheap
  Fm9           Em9               
And the lying   politicians    are
Fm9                          Gm9
 rolling in the profits they reap"
   Dm9                Cmaj9
And my friend said  "He's right 
honey,
   Dm9                         
but I think it's always been that 
Cmaj9
way"
   Dm9                    Em9     
And he smiled kind of patiently   
        Fm9                   Gm9
  and I knew he was going to say

[Chorus]
  Fm9             Gm9       
But I think  we're passing    
   Am9                  Bm9
through here kind of fast
Fm9               Em9            
Did you think   these tracks   in
               Am9      Gm9* Am9 
 the dust would last?
Gm9*

 Fm9            Gm9             
I think    we're passing    
Am9                     Bm9
through here kind of   fast
Fm9                   Em9        
Did you think  these tracks    in
                   Dm9
 the dust would last?
