'Cause

Intro: E C F# Am E

        E               A
Cause I lost my job
                 E              A
Two weeks before Christmas.
      E                            
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
     A

And the Pope said it was none of his
    E                       A
 God-damned business.

          E                     A
While the rain drank champagne
                        E          
My Estonian Archangel came and got 
             A
me wasted.
          E                        
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got
     A

                        E          
Is the one I've never tasted.

Neon ladies,    beauty is that

Is bought or borrowed.

         E                       
Cause my heart's become a crooked 
       A               E       A
hotel         full of rumours.
         E                      A
But it's I who pays the rent
For these fingered-face 
        E       A
out-of-tuners.
        E                    
And I make 16 solid half hour 
           A               E       A
friendships       every evening.
           E
Cause your queen of hearts, who is 
half a stone
                    A              
And likes to laugh alone, is always
                      E       A
 threatening you with leaving

            E                A    
Oh but they play those token games
      G#m

                B
On Willy Thompson.
E                                  
And give a medal to replace the son

                B
Of Mrs. Annie Johnson

           E                       
Cause they told me everybody's got 
                     A
to pay their dues
                                E  
And I explained that I had overpaid
                     A
 them.
        E                        
So overdued I went to the company 
       A
store
And the clerk there said that they 
              E              A
had just been invaded.
        E                   A     
So I set sail in a teardrop     
                      E         A
and escaped beneath the doorsill.
          E                     A 
Cause the smell of her perfume    
                      E       A
      echoes in my head still.

        E                      
Cause I see my people trying to 
                 A
drown the sun
                        E       A
In weekends of whiskey sours.
          E                        
Cause how many times can you wake 
                     A
up in this comic book
          E             A
And plant flowers?
