Intro 1
(A minor) (C major) (E minor)
Verse 1
I listened (E minor) to a lecture
of nonsense until dawn
By a pla (B minor) giary poet with
dark glasses on
He said, (A minor) "How did you ever
dream up that song
The one (B minor) where the baby (B major) dies?"

Verse 2
I said, "I'll tell you the secret,
which one's your good ear?
Yeah, people (B minor) are made up of water and fear
If there (A minor) weren't women present
we wouldn't be here
So (Asus4) let's (B minor) make like
(B major) we're friends" (E minor)
Verse 3
(E minor)
And the pot turned to powder
and soured the mood
And the people (B minor) I'd come with
were gone from the room
So I (A minor) asked like a child,
"May I be excused?"
(B minor) And disobeyed (B major) them all
(E minor)
Verse 4
Into that late-night latrine, latrine,
rain soaking through my shoes
I tried walk (B minor) ing backwards
to get less confused
(A minor) Working off the theory I could never prove
That it (B minor) was life itself (B major) (E minor) to blame
Verse 5
(A minor) And time ruined the world (E minor)
Like (A minor) a failed revolution (E minor)
(A minor) A tumor we could not remove (E minor)
An old (C major) friend, a constant,
(B minor) the (E minor) blues
Interlude 1
(E minor) (A minor) (B flat major) (E minor) (A minor) (B flat major) (E minor)
Verse 6
Now my (E minor) days are distractions,
sit wringing my hands
Solitaire, crosswords and films on demand
(B major) When you (A minor) turn from a cartoon
back (C major) into a man
You start to (B minor) smell that (B major) human smell (E minor)
Verse 7
(E minor) So I sleep with the fan on
(B minor) to drown (B major) out the street (E minor)
(B minor) And the noise rising up from
the (D major) bar un (B minor) derneath
(E minor) (B minor) But for (A minor) that inconvenience
all my drinks are free
(D major) So I (B minor) guess it's just (B major) as well (E minor)
Verse 8
Why do I (E minor) envy the ending
right from the start
Just (B minor) get it together to take it apart
(A minor) Watching the horse as it
follows the cart
I sweep (B minor) up my (E minor) broken (B major) spell (E minor)
Verse 9
And I felt (A minor) something changing the world (E minor)
Like a new (A minor) constitu (E minor) tion
A thief (A minor) I would have to pursue (E minor)
At all times, (C major) at all costs, (B minor) the truth
Outro 1

(B flat major) (B minor) (G major) (C major) (A major) (E minor)
