Verse 1
D
Bm
G
Madame Morris and Warwick blue
A
D
On a Saturday night,
Bm
G
got nothing on you
A
D
And if the sentiment's ugly,
Bm
G
well, you know,
A
D
G
tomorrow comes soon
Asus4
D
You go window shopping
Bm
G
with a switchblade knife
A
D
Bm
While your sunburned tongue
G
never sees any light
A
D
Bm
Suspended in time,
G
A
D
G
your heart sweeps up like a broom
D
G
And the silver vodka
D
that stains your lips
G
D
Swallows you whole as your finger tips
G
Reach for the sky like you
A
were another Moses
G
Oh, tell me just once
D
why you're bitter and cold
G
Who's the person at large
D
who by now has grown old
G
D
Em
That took you for somebody else
D
And then crushed all your
G
Asus4
D
roses
G
Asus4
A
D
Bm
You know levels and tiers
G
A
of war and indignation
D
Compete for your mind
Bm
G
and roll dice for your station
A
D
And this world is as
Bm
G
if someone has told them
A
D
That this girl is finished
Bm
G
Asus4
While those
D
Bm
sugar -fed gangsters
G
A
that you call your friends
D
Bm
Would just as soon shape you into something
G
A
D
Bm
G
As to let you control your own life
A
D
Bm
G
for a lousy percentage
Asus4
G
And the wide -angle lens
D
that captures your secrets
G
D
Also exposes your beau
ty more frequently
G
Than anyone's modern
A
spoon -fed explanation
G
Oh, but tell me just once
D
why you're angry and cold
G
D
Who's a slave in your past
who by now has been sold
G
D
Em
That took you to the ballroom dance
G
D
Just to crush your carnation

Hi, your
Verse 2
D
job is a drag like
G
A
everyone else's
D
You're a southern woman
Bm
G
A
D
Bm
who shudders and bounces at the thought of coming

G

in style as a token hillbilly
A
D
Bm
Your boss is ridiculously try
G
A
ing to haunt you
D
Bm
upsetting his basic need
G
A
just to scold you
D
Bm
Don't you know you're allowed to go
G
A
D
G
tell him to screw himself silly
Asus4
D
G
And your modest invention
D
to feel defensive
G
Getting attention but the
D
cost is expensive
G
It's ap parently time you'll
A
only grow migraine colder
G
Oh, pretend that your memory
D
is a memory that's dreadful
G
Composed in a way that
D
is never forgetful
G
D
Em
Quit carrying the weight of the world
