[E]
[A]
[E] Because I lost my job [A] two weeks before [E] Christmas, [A]
[E] and I talked to Jesus at the sewer, [A]
and the
Pope said it was none [E] of his goddamn business.
[A]
[E] While the rain drank champagne, [A]
my Estonian archangel [E] came and got me wasted,
[A] because
the [E] sweetest kiss I ever got [A]
is the one I've never [E]
tasted.
[A]
Oh but they'll [E] take their [A] bonus pay to [Ab]
[E] Molly [B] McDonald, [A] [E]
neon lady, [A]
beauties that which obeys
[Abm]
[Gb] is ball or [B]
borrow.
[E]
[A]
Because [E] my heart's become a crooked hotel, [A]
[E] full of rumors, [A]
but [E] it's I who pays the rent,
[A]
for these fingered face [E] are the tuners, [A]
and I [E] make sixteen solid half hour [A] friendships
[E] every evening.
[A]
Because [E] your queen of hearts who's half a stone and likes to laugh [A]
alone, is always
threatening you [E] with leaving.
[A]
Oh but they'll [E] play those [A] token games on [Abm]
Willie Thompson,
[B] [A] [E]
and give a medal to replace the
[A] son of [Abm]
[B] Mrs.
Annie Johnson.
[E]
[A]
[E] Because they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues, [A]
and I explained that I had [E] overpaid
them,
[A] [E] so overdue I went to the company store,
[A] and the clerk there said that [E] they had just been invaded.
[A] [E] So I set sail in a teardrop, [A]
and escaped beneath [E] the door sill,
[A] [E] cause the smell of her perfume,
echoes in my head still.
[A] [E]
[A]
[A]
Cause I [E] see my people trying to drown the sun, [A] in weekends of [E] whiskey sours,
[A]
[E] cause how
many times can you wake up in this comic [A] book,
[E] and plant flowers.
