[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G][Am][G][D][Em][C]
[G][Am][G]
[D]Dead in [Em]the water

[Verse 1]
[C]It's not a paid vac[Am]ation[G]
The sons [D]and [Em]daughters
Of city [D]offi[C]cials attend
[G]demonstr[Am]ations[G]
It's [D]hardly [Em]a sink or swim
When [C]all is well if [D]the ticket

[Interlude 1]
sells
[G][D][Em][C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
Out with a whim[Em]per
[C]It's not a bla[G]ze of glo[Am]ry
[G]You look down from you[Em]r temple
As people [D]en [C]deavor to make
[G]it a s[Am]tory[G]
And [D]chisel [Em]a marble word
But [C]all is lost if it's [D]never heard
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
But [C]I've got someone
to make reports
[D]That tell me how my money's spent
To [C]book my stays and draw my blinds
So [D]I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratu[C]lation[G] s
[D][Em]

[G]
[D]I'll keep your dream

[Verse 4]
[Em]s
[C]You pay atten[G]tion for[Am] me[G]
[D]As strange as [Em]it seems
I'd rather [G]dis[C]solve than [G]have
you [Am]ignore [G]me
[D]The ground may be mov[Em]ing fast
But [C]I tied my boots to [D]a broken

[Interlude 3]
mast
[G][D][Em][C][D][G]
The dif[D]ference is clear

[Verse 5]
[Em]
[C]You throw it in [Bm]your[G] cauldron[Am][G]
[D]Rust and ven[Em]eer
Dusk [D]and [C]dawn,
[Am]Steinways and Bald[G]wins
[D]You start with a sim[Em]ple stock
Of [C]all the waste, [D]and salt to taste
[G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
But [C]damn my luck,
and damn these friends
That [D]keep on combing back their smiles
I [C]save my grace with half-assed guilt
[D]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[Dm]Spre[D]ad my arms and soak up congr[G]atulations[D]
