Verse 1:
G Em
Dead in the water
C D
It's not a paid vacation
G Em C
The sons and daughters of city officials
D
Attend demonstrations
G Em
It's hardly a sink or swim
C D
When all is well if the ticket sells
Break 1
G Em D C Am Am
Verse 2:
G Em
Out with a wimper
C D
It's not a blaze of glory
G Em
You look down from your temple
C D
As people endeavor to make it a story
G Em
And chisel a marble word
C D
But all is lost if it's never heard
Break 2:
G C7 G G7
Chorus:
C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't see what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations
G Em C D Am Am
Just repeat for the rest of the song
Verse 3:
I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
Break 1
Verse 4:
The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste
Break 2
Chorus 2:
But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
