Duck and Cover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Someone's in the backyard
banging on the door
Daddy's gone away,
he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on
a stranger's floor
Mom[C]ma's thinking family dinners
weren't too much [D]to ask for

[Verse 2]
[A]Everybody here's got
[Em]a story to tell
[G]Everybody's been through
[D]their own hell
There's [A]nothing too special
about [G]getting hurt
But getting over it, that takes the work
[D]

[Verse 3]
One [C]way or the other we'll all
need each other
[D]Nothing's gonna turn out the
way you thought it would
Friends and lovers,
don't you duck and cover
'Cause [C]everything comes [D]out
the [G]way it should
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Blessed are the humble,
blessed are the meek
Blessed are the hungry,
blessed are the weak
Blessed are the ones on the other side
[C]And blessed are we [G]just for being alive
[D]

[Verse 5]
One [A]day I stopped wanting any[Em]thing at all
The [G]heavens opened up like a [D]waterfall
No [A]use in worrying about [G]when it ends
Just for now be thankful for what I get
[D]

[Verse 6]
One [C]way or another a
man's gonna suffer
[D]Makes no difference the way you wanted it
But friends and lovers,
don't you duck and cover
'Cause [C]everything [Em]comes [D]out the
[G]way it should in [D]the end

[Verse 7]
[D][G][D]
[A]Seems like life is [Em]a palindrome
[G]Cry when you die, [D]cry when you're born
[A]In between it's all about
the [G]ups and downs
Add them all together,
[Em]they'll can[G]cel each [D]other out

[Verse 8]
[D]
One [C]way or another, [D]one way or another
You won't [C]get what you wanted,
but you'll get enough [D]for sure
One [C]way or another,
the winter [G]pays for the summer
Won't [C]get what you wanted,
but what you [D]got'll be good

[Verse 9]
[D]
Someone's in the backyard
banging on the door
Daddy's gone away,
he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on
a stranger's floor
Momma's thinking happy endings
weren't too much to ask for
