[C] [F]
[C] Hey, who's that stomping all over my face?
[C] Where's that silhouette [F] I'm trying to trace?
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once [C] rung?
Taking my gypsy [F] before she's begun.
[Am] To sing in the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine.
Joining in a listen and talking in rhymes.
Stopping the feeling to wait for the time.
[F] Who's saying, baby, [G] that don't mean a thing?
Cause [C] nowadays the [Dm] plants, they can't [Em] even [Am]
sing.
[F]
[Em] [F]
[C]
[C] Who's all hung up [F] on that happiness thing?
[C] Who's trying to [F] tune all the bells that he rings?
Who's in the corner, down on the floor?
[C] Who's pencil and paper [F] just counting the score?
[Am] And who's trying to act like he's [Am] just in between?
The night isn't black if you know that it's green.
But don't bother looking, you're too blind to see.
Who's coming on like he wanted to be?
[F] Who's saying, [G] baby, that don't mean a thing?
[Am] Cause [C] nowadays the plants, [Dm] they can't [Em]
[Am] even sing.
[F]
[C] [F]
[F] [Em]
[F] [C] Who's coming home [F] on old 95?
[C] And who's got the feeling [F] to keep him alive?
[C] Though [Em] having it, sharing [F] it, ain't quite the same.
[C] It ain't a [Em] gold nugget if you can't lay a claim.
[Am] And who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?
There it is, baby, don't you worry no more.
Who should be sleeping but writing a song?
Wishing and hoping he weren't so damn wrong.
[F] And who's saying, [G] baby, that don't mean a thing?
[Am] Cause [C] nowadays the plants, they [E] can't [Am] even sing.
[E] [F] And who's saying, baby, that [G] don't mean a thing?
[C] Nowadays the [Dm] plants, they
[Em] can't even
[C] sing.
[F]
[C] [Em] [N] Thank you.
