[Verse 1]

G        C/G      G     D7
All the reeling, city voices
G         C/G        G               D7
Burn you up, but tonight I wish that we could join them,
G          C/G    G           D7
Snap the wishbone! Smash the lightbulbs
G         C/G         G           D7
When you kiss me I'll be the man I always was

[Verse 2]

G             C/G         G              D7                G
You say I'll find a job - that's right, laughin' like you do,
G              C/G           G                    D7             Em
Chewin' your fingers to the bone, spittin' your nails into the pool

[Chorus]

          Am           Em
Till the garbage men go by
          Am           Em
Till the garbage men go by
          D7
All the playboys dance
           D7
On the blacktop
                  G
Like a swarm of flies

  C/G G D7

[Bridge]

G       C/G     G      D7
Up and down and in and out
G           C/G    G     D7
The wind is in the magazines
G       C/G  G          D7
Up and down round and round
G            C/G   G     D7
The rainbows in the gasoline

[Chorus]

Em        Am           Em
Till the garbage men go by
          Am           Em
Till the garbage men go by
           D7
All the emerald shards on
          D7                      G
On the blacktop like stars in the sunshine

[Outro]

G C/G G D7
Like stars in the sunshine!
G C/G G D7
Like stars in the sunshine!
