[C]
[Gb]
[A] [Am] [E]
[A]
[E] Cause I lost my job [A] two weeks before [E] Christmas And
[A] [E]
I talked to Jesus at the sewer
[A] And the Pope said it was none of [E] his goddamn business
[A]
While [E] the rain drank champagne [A] My Estonian archangel [E] came and got me wasted
[A]
Cause [E] the 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] MacDonald
[E] Neon lady, [A] beauties that which obeys [Abm]
is [Gb] bought or [B] borrowed
[B] [E]
[A]
[E] Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel [A] full [E] of rumors
But
[A]
[E] it's I who pays the rent
[A] for these fingered face [E] autotuners
[A]
And [E] I make sixteen solid half hour friendships [A]
every evening
[A]
Cause [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 token games on [Abm]
Willie Thompson
[B] And
[E] give a medal to replace the [A] son of
[Abm]
Mrs.
Annie [B] Johnson
Cause
[E]
[A]
[E] they told me everybody's gotta pay their dues
And I explained that I had [E] overpaid them
So
[A]
[E] overdue I went to the company store
[A] And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
[A] [E] So I set sail in a teardrop [A] and escaped beneath the door [E] sill
Cause [E] the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
[A]
[E]
[A]
[E]
[A]
Cause [E] I see my people trying to drown the sun
[A] In weekends of whiskey [E] sours
[A]
[E] Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
[A]
[E] And plant flowers?
