Am7 Dmaj7
This one is faster than the one you've got
F E
This one will save you space

You better snatch them up while they are hot
F E
Before they get replaced

Can't turn your cheek to what's going on

Am7 Dmaj7
I walk around this institution of shame
F E

If I collect more than I truly need
F E
What will it amount to in the end?

Something tells me I'm on the right track
Esus E
But not for long

But not for long
G/D
Not for long
