[Verse 1]
Dsus2 D
Are you having a long day
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G G6
Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way
G Dsus2 D
Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G Gb5 G
Morning bells are ringing in your ear
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 D
Is your brother on a church kick
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G G6 G
Seems like just a different kind of dopesick
Dsus2 D
Better off to teach a dog a card trick
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G Gb5 A
Than try to have a point and make it clear
[Chorus]
Bm A G F#m
You should know, compared to people on a global scale
Em F#m G A
Our kind has had it relatively easy
Bm A G F#m
And here with you there's always something to look forward to
Em F#m G
My angry heart beats relatively easy
Dsus2 D
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G
[Verse 3]
Dsus2 D
I lost a good friend,
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G G6 G
At Christmastime when folks go off the deep end
Dsus2 D
His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G Gb5
Enough to kill a man of twice his size
A Bm
Not for me to understand
A G
Remember him when he was still a proud man
A Bm
A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand
A G A
Nothing but the blue sky in his eyes
[Chorus]
Bm A G F#m
Still, compared to those a stones-throw away from you,
Em F#m G A
Our lives have both been relatively easy
Bm A G F#m
Take a year and make a break there ain't that much at stake
Em F#m G
The answers could be relatively easy

[Bridge]
Em F#m G
Watch that lucky man walk to work again
D A Asus4
He may not have a friend left in the world
Em F#m G
See him walking home again to sleep alone
D A Asus4
I step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl
[Verse 4]
Dsus2 D
I broke the law boys,
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G Gb5
shooting out the windows of my loft, boys
Dsus2 D
When they picked me up, I made a big noise
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 G Gb5 A
Everything to blame except my mind
[Chorus]
Bm A G F#m
I should say, I keep your picture with me every day
Em F#m G A
The evenings now are relatively easy
Bm A G F#m
And here with you there's always something to look forward to
Em F#m G
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
Em F#m G G
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
