[E] [C] [A]
Up every morning with the crack of [F#] dawn, [G] nights as short as the days are long, [D] life turn out
to be another [Em] magazine.
[D] [C] [A] I'm living with a stranger [F#] now, [G] a girl I knew got away somehow, [D] she went out with too big to [Em] gasoline.
I wanna go back, you [D] know what [C] I mean.
[A] When the word was [Am] Thunderbird [G] and the price was 40 [D] twice, drinking wine and all I knew [E] was wrong.
[D] [C] [A] I would love for now to be a passing thing, [G] different bird of a different wing, [D] some damn
fool put a dollar twenty [E]-nine on a jug of [D] [C] Thunderbird wine.
I [A] don't know if I'm gonna make it, [G] I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it,
[D] everything's hung up in the [E] yesterday.

[C] [A] Society is just slavery [G] and security isn't killing me, [D] I worked hard for it but I'd give
it all [Em] away if I could go back to yesterday.
