[Verse 1]
     G                    F
Keep passing open windows
                           Em   D# D
We’re all screwed down for life
    G                     F
And Lily, honey, mark that page
Am               Em              G     D
‘Cause your ending will never be right
    G             F
And Franny lost a fight tonight
           Em              Am          D
And sorrow floats with the king of mice
    G                  F
The castle is changing keys
        Em            C    D#   D
And the sluggard leads the orchestra

[Chorus]
    Em
I’m ready to pack it in
    C
I’m ready to go home
             B
Wherever the blind are leading the blind
        Em
Through those familiar doors
              C
I’d rather be dancing in the ballroom
     B
Than waiting for the rain
   Am
My father was a hero
   B
My mother is a saint
                C
He’s a state of Maine
                G
He’s a state of rage
       Bm                 Am    Em
He’s a state of shock and loneliness
             C
A little bit dumb a little bit smart
             D                    Em
A little bit old and a little bit hard
               C
Can’t teach an old man new tricks
               D                    Em
There are some things that can’t be fixed

[Verse 2]
         G                  Em             A#
It was a terrible Halloween stuck in spiderwebs
             G                  F            Em     A#
Watching the lions tear all the innocents to shreds
G                     F
I’ve got that nervous itch
C                                G                F
And all the incest you’ve got to get obsessed and stay obsessed
         C
when was life so fucking serious

[Chorus]
Em
Ready to pack it in
    C
We’re ready to go home
             B
Wherever the blind are leading the blind
        Em
Through those familiar doors
              C
I’d rather be dancing in the ballroom
     B
Than waiting for the rain
   Am
My father is a failure
   B
My mother has no name
                C
He’s a state of Maine
                G
He’s a state of rage
       Bm                 Am    Em
He’s a state of shock and loneliness
             C
A little bit dumb a little bit smart
             D                    Em
A little bit old and a little bit hard
               C
Can’t teach an old man new tricks
               D                    Em
There are some things that can’t be fixed
be fixed

C       B                            Em
Mon and Deglin did just short of the Swiss
                              Am        Em
In the sidecar, Earl you will always be missed
                Am                 Em
Please remember all of our fishing trips
          B                      Em
I call to mind your silly little tricks

[Chorus]
                C
He’s a state of pain
                G
He’s a state of rage
       Bm                 Am    Em
He’s a state of shock and loneliness
             C
A little bit dumb a little bit smart
             D                    Em
A little bit old and a little bit hard
               C
Can’t teach an old man new tricks

There are some things that can’t be fixed

A little bit old and a little bit hard
