[A]
You're the man [Bm] standing in the [E] tower, taking his [D] body, and his body.
[A] Empty [Bm] clothes, little [E] plaster, and a bird's [D] nest.
[E] You [A] lost everything you [Bm] need to make a deal.
[E] That's why the [D] gym is by the field.
[A] You're the [Bm] way to save this war.
[D] Slap the [E] bird through the cupboard [A] door.
Donate it to him [G] from the [D] floor.
It's [A] just a game.
[D] It [A] carries no shame.
But he ain't done [G] nobody [D] wrong.
Here he [A] didn't come, [D] but he's [A] been around.
[C#m] Looking to see if [D] there's somebody else in [E] my life to be.
[A] Then the [Bm] barber looked at [E] me, passed out [D] to his glossy sleeve.
[A] She was [Bm] burning up the street, [E] down at the [D] Lucy's [A] Chicken Coop.
And the [Bm] poor bird [E] man, he lured out to [D] a jar of gin.
[A] That was, that [Bm] was [D] donkey's smoke.
He said he's going [E] to do him [A] all.
The voice just said he's not [G] for [D] me.
But it's just [A] a game.
[D] And it [A] carries no shame.
But he ain't done [G] nobody [D] wrong.
Here he [A] didn't come, [D] but [A] he's been around.
[C#m] Looking to see if there's [D] somebody [Bm] else in my life to [E] be.
Then they three, [C#m] and the
[F#] [Bm] cardboard wall.
[C#m] Somebody that you [Bm] don't need.
[A] But he's friendly.
[D] Yes, he's kind.
[A] I [B] keep on wondering why they want to [E] change his mind.
[A] I got a [Bm] message in the mail.
[E] Urban and [D] the snowman jail.
[A] I left the snow [Bm] with Abigail.
[E] Went on down [Bm] to fix his tail.
[A] Locked him in [Bm] a gunny [E] sack.
His hands were tied [D] behind his back.
[A] Claiming he [Bm] wasn't in court.
But they never heard his last [E] call before.
[A] The [Bm] police [A] said he'd [G] better go.
[D] He went [A] half [D]-closed [A] and slow.
But still he done [G] nobody [Bm] wrong.
[D] Just [A] didn't do wrong.
[D] But [A] he's been around.
[C#m] Looking to see if [D] there's somebody else in [E] my life to be.
Then they three.
