Saturday

Amaj7              Amaj7
You walk so fast on a Saturday
Bm7
Always thought that you been running
                                          E7
From the thoughts that been running in your head

Amaj7
But how come you're looking so hard
                                  Dmaj7
For an alibi that went wrong on a Sunday
Bm7
You ask me "What's wrong?" — Not much
                                     E7
But our small talk's pretty much the same

Amaj7
And something you can't explain
                               Amaj7
Is taking complete hold of your brain

Bm7                                               E7
Mismatched words and inverse feelings of identity change

               Amaj7      A7
Can't you come over for a drink?
      D     Dm
Just once
                 Bm7
We'll talk about more than where my mom shops
            E7
Or how your dad wants a divorce

Amaj7                A7
'Cause I got so much deep shit
            D        Dm
That's been heavy on mind
        Bm7          E7
Do you, too? Is that new?

Amaj7          A7
Flesh is safer stitched than raw
       D             Dm
That's why you never strayed too far
         Bm7
From the clean-edged sidewalk
                     E7
It always promised a softer end

Than the barbed wire fence
Amaj7                     A7
But I always ran 'cause I thought an end
       D                 Dm
To the septic cycle laid somewhere ahead
        Bm7
And I'm numb to the feeling

'Cause pain has been weening me
E7
Off the joy that came as a naive boy
