Oh.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ We started drinking the Kool-Aid. _
_ [C] _ We were taking the bait. _
_ [D] _ We were talking the big talk.
_ _ [G] Never playing it safe. _
[E] _ _ _ Looking good as Jane Fonda.
_ _ [C] _ On a Vietnam tank.
_ _ [D] You can't get something for nothing.
Gotta [G] _ _ energize your base.
But she was [C] young enough.
She was blonde enough.
She was about that [G] perfect tan.
[C] Had _ millions of _ admirers.
But not one single [D] friend.
_ [G] But it's a little uncanny.
_ _ [C] _ What she managed to do.
_ [D] Became a symbol for a [C] pain she never [G] knew. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ You know Ronnie Reagan.
_ _ [C] He was a showman. _ _
He [D] _ got himself in the [A] movies.
_ [G] Yeah he impressed everyone.
_ _ _ He thought child by fire.
_ [C] _ Was America's fate.
_ [Em] _ _ [D] He made a joke with the poor people.
And [G] that made him a saint.
But he [C] was tan enough.
He was rich enough.
He was handsome like John [G] Wayne.
_ And there was no one at the country club.
Who had a better look than him.
Didn't feel the [D] same.
_ [G] But it's a little uncanny.
_ _ [C] What he managed to do.

_ _ [C] _ I miss Oliver Sacks.
[Em] _ _ [D] _ I miss poor Robin Williams.
_ [G] _ I miss Sylvia Plath.
_ _ _ Every morning's a desert.
_ _ [C] _ Every night is a flood.
I miss the old man.
_ [D] They say a party can kill you.
Well [C] sometimes I wish it [G] would.
But I'll be strong enough.
I'll be man enough.
I'll keep myself [G] in check.
[C] Cause all my friends who
Flew to town said
That's [D] what they _ [D]
said.
But [G] it's a _ little uncanny.
_ _ [C] _ What they managed to do.
Got [D] me admitting the things [A] I knew
Were [G] never true. _ _ _ _ _
