intro: G D Em C
      (G Am C D D7)

G
Not that you want to be
D
Out of curiosity
Em                     C
Just a corsage of the world
G                     Am
I was in love with a girl
C                         D    D7
I would the violence foresee

G
All that it ought to be
D
Blessed by generosity
Em                            C
Sure to put your heart in a whirl
G                        Am
Stop to pick up a dollar bill
C                         D      D7
As the blood drips at the mill

G
Have you got fried chicken
D
  You ate it up so fast
Em                          C
Laid down its life just for you
G                       Am
Now you have nothing to do
C                  D     D7
Just a television tube

G
Oh for goodness sake
D
 And the love you make
Em                      C
Skipping stones at the lake
G                       Am
You have a half baked idea
    C                        D      D7
To think we'd be so glad to see ya

G
Lost in your lonely room
D
  How they grow up and bloom
Em                        C
  Young girls in the magazine
G                           Am
How they took part in your doom
C                     D     D7
Baby step out of the room

G
Hunger and lust for life
D
  She was like any housewife
Em                           C
  Darning the socks with concern
G                   Am
Glad you ever were born
C                      D     D7
Just to get up in the morn

G
While all the while you work
D
  Surrounded by amateurs
Em                          C
  Craving and love showing fame
G                         Am
Thinking your hope was refrained
C                 D     D7
In the emotional pain

G
Nothing to do but cry
D
  As you dry your eyes
Em                       C
Watching the soap opera die
G                             Am
Longing for the freedom of success
           C                     D      D7
When we're all just a temporary guest

G
Living in such a mess
D
  I'll bring you back again
Em                             C
To the flight you used to have been
G                     Am
How could you really win
C                            D     D7
Pledging your resistance to sin?

    G
Applied in the twilight
D
  Anything to make it right
Em                                C
  When there's nothing left but nothing
G             Am
But an empty song
C                       D     D7
Why did it have to go wrong

G
How it all works out
D
  Something about it so
Em                          C
  Thinking that love is a crime
G                     Am
You were a friend of mine
C                           D    D7
Standing there with missed time

G
You're gonna make a joke
D
  That is sure too follow
Em               C
Happy to be that way
  G                     Am
Tomorrow is a brand new day
C                    D    D7
What do you have to say?
    (G D Em C) (G Am C D D7) (G)
Nothing
