Key:
D G F Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
D G C and it nailed to my forehead again
D G to keep this boat afloat
F there are things you can't afford to know
D G C so I save all my breath for the sails
Bm C D But you'll find those lingering voices
Em D are just your ego's attepmt to make it all
G A clean and nice and make a moron out of you
Bm C D walking a bridge with weakening cables
Em D G huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
A and its a lot to put us through
G Bm bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
D G F Most ideas turn into dust as there are few in which we all can trust
D G C haven't you noticed i've been shedding all of mine?
Continues after the ad
D so lets abandon that track
G F and leave our fathers fighting in a sack
D G C cause we're way too wise-assed for that
Bm C D You might find some fools at your doorstep
Em D G hustling the latest changes to the book thats the strangest
A in an attempt to multipy
Bm C D marionettes on weakening cables
Em D G huddled up with fear and hate because they know their fate
A and its a lot to put them through
G A Em bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
D Em We've taken on a climb
D A Em and its long enough to put the best of them on our backs
D Em walking up a slide
D and there are those we know who'd have us
A Em five miles off the track G A N.C. Woo! Harmonica Solo

G A clean and nice and make a moron out of you

A and its a lot to put us through
