[G#m] [A] [G] [E] [C]
[G] [A] [D]
[G] [E] [C]
[G] [D]
I [Em] don't care to say what [C] I fail to [G] recognize [D] Every [Em] single day, from [C] the poker to [G] the prize
[D]
Running [Em] on a spring field, I [C] worked for the [G] capital air
In [D] the back, I found [Em] a woman there who said
[C]
She had a mind [G] to make [D] me a messenger man
[G] [A] [D] [Am]
If my [G] father [Am] took [G] his life for a national [D] land
[G] I [Am] don't care, I'm not about to stick my [G] grave With a paper man [D] stuck in a glass
Never [Am] ever, I [Em] can take the [D] pillowcases off the yellow [G] pillars
[D] Make a property line [G] from [Am] the dead
In the living room, the living room, [G] the morning papers
[D] Made the most out of nothing at all
[G] [E] [Em] [C]
[G] [D]

[G] [D]
So [E] we took the room [G] with the [C] view of [G] the runaway
[D] I [Em] took off my clothes and [C] she [G] took it for a holiday
[D]
I [Em] was taking for all [C] the things that I never [G] had [D] before
Running [Em] on a spring field, she [D] left [C] me with a note [G] saying
Bobby [D] don't look [G] back
[A] [Bm] [Am]
And if [Bm] my wife [Em] took [Am] a bicycle [G] ride with a knife in her [D] hand
I [G] saw [Am] it coming, all [A] the shattered [Am] flies run at [G] once
With a drum in [D] or a train, oh I'm running [Am] from it
Wait a minute, wait a minute, [G] give [D] a minute, [G] maybe I [D] can explain the apple [Am] shape
Wait [D] a minute, [Am] wait a minute, [Em] give [G] a minute, Bobby [D] got a shattered fly caught in his hair
[G] [Em] It's [A] a [C] sad
[G] [D]
[Em] song, [C] I'm sad, [G] [D]
I'm sad, [Em] I'm [C]
[G] [A] [D] sad
[Em] It's a sad [Am] [G] song, [D] I'm sad
