[Verse 1]

G   G/F#    Em Em7  C          
Dead in the water,  it's not a 
C/B     Am  Asus2 Am
paid vacation
G   G/F#     Em           
The sons and daughters of city 
Em7    C        C/B        Am   
officials attend demonstrations
   Asus2 Am

G    G/F#     Em      Em7       
It's hardly a sink or swim when 
C                  D            
all is well if the ticket sells

[Verse 2]

G G/F#     Em    Em7 C         
Out with a whimper,  it's not a
C/B       Am   Asus2 Am
 blaze of glory
G        G/F#           Em       
You look down from your temple as
 Em7    C           C/B       Am 
 people endeavor to make it a 
  Asus2 Am
story
G   G/F#       Em     Em7       
And chisel the marble words that
 C                   D           
 all is lost if it's never heard

[Chorus]

C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't tell what's really there
D7
And all I need's a great big 
congratulations


[Break] x2:

[Verse 3]

G    G/F#      Em  Em7 C       
I'll keep your dreams, you pay 
C/B       Am    Asus2 Am
attention for me
G   G/F#         Em         Em7
As strange as it seems, I'd 
       C          C/B      Am     
rather dissolve than have you 
 Asus2 Am
ignore me
G   G/F#          Em     Em7   
The ground may be moving fast 
     C                  D         
but I tied my boots to a broken 
  Dsus4
mast

[Verse 4]
G   G/F#          Em Em7 C    
The difference is clear, you 
        C/B       Am     Asus2 Am
throw it in your cauldron
G  G/F#  Em      Em7       C  
Rust and veneer, dusk and 
       C/B      Am     Asus2 Am
dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
G   G/F#         Em     Em7     
You start with a simple stock of
 C                 D            
 all the waste and salt to taste

[Chorus]

C
But damn my luck and damn these 
friends
D
That keep on combing back their 
smiles
C
I save my grace with half-assed 
guilt
D
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
D7
Spread my arms and soak up 
congratulations
