Cm Ab
The imitation picks you up like a habit
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Writing in the glow of the tv static
Cm Ab
Taking out the trash to the man
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Give the people something they understand
Cm Ab
A stick-man flashing a fine-line smile
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Junk bond trader trying to sell a sucker a style
Cm Ab
Rich man in a poor man's clothes
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
The permanent installment of the daily dose
Cm Ab Eb
And you tell me off when you tell it like it is
Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Your world's no wider than your hated of his
Cm Ab
Checking into a small reality
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Boring as a drug you take too regularly
Cm Ab
The athlete's laugh; the broken crutch
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
The first true love that folded at the slightest touch
Cm Ab
Brought down like an old hotel
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
People digging through the rubble for things they can resell

C Bb
"happy holidays," said sick saviour
C Eb/Ab Bb/D Bb
The leaving lover I still favour
C
I won't take your medicine
Bb
I don't need a remedy
C Eb/Ab Bb/D Bb
To be everything I'm supposed to be
C
I don't want nobody else
Bb
I can do it by myself
C Eb Bb/D Bb
We're meant to be together
C Bb Cm
ah, ahh, ahhh

Cm Ab
Now I'm a policeman directing traffic
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Keeping everything moving, everything static

I'm the hitchhiker you'll recognize passing
Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
On your way to some everlasting...

Cm Ab Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Better sell it while you can
Cm Ab Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Better sell it while you can
Cm Ab Eb Fsus4 F Ab Bb
Better sell it while you can

Better sell it while you can
