	        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
