[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Bm][Em]
[D][Em]
When life [Bm]gives you [Em]lemons Rub

[Verse 1]
them in the open [A]wound
[D]s of your enemies
[Em]To e[Bm]ach o[Em]f us [D]accord[Em]ing
to the [D]amount that we can bleed
To each according to [Em]his greed[Bm][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
You [Em]used to believe that with [D]age you
would become less un[Em]happy[D][Bm][Em]
[D]When you had real reasons
to be [Em]sad[Bm][Em]
[D]When you were younger,
your suffering was inconsol[Em]able[Bm][Em]
[D]'Cause it seemed unfounded
and uncontrol[Em]lable[Bm][Em][D]
But tonight [G]I'm going to

[Verse 3]
cut off all my [Am]hair
[D]And wipe my bank account [Em]clean[A]
Void all the contracts
[Em]I'd vowed [A]to keep
[G]Let's run away together, you and [Am]me
And by [D]to morrow morning
let's [Em]live [A]free
[G]Stumps at the

[Verse 4]
lakefront, like
[Am]beasts at the water hole
It's [D]our own personal dust [Em]bowl
[G]We [Em]rise, each [G]morning,
as far [Am]as I can tell
Searching [G]for water
[Em]from a deeper well
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[A]How are [Em]you at love, a[D]rt, and crime?
Three for three, if you ask [Em]me[D][Em]
[D]It's a living wage
Being St. Sebastian of the [Em]short
[Bm]stage[D][Em][D]
I'll take [G]upon myself the sling
[C]s & arrows [Am]aimed at other singers
[Em]If you'll be high-[D] bidder,
[Em]I'll be a bell- ring[D]er
[Em]You be c[Bm]ome- hithe[D]r,
[Em]I'll be a ditch- [D]digger
[Em]You be long- limbe[D]r,
[Em]I'll be a [D]tale- spinner
[Em]Trickster & swindler[D]
[Em]Scri[D]bbler & sc[Em]riv'ner
[D]Shimmering silver [A]& high- gauge
June and Johnny [Em]for the modern [D]age
[G]Tonight I'm going

[Verse 6]
to cut off
all my [D]hair[Am]
And [A]wipe [Em]my bank [G]account
[Em]clean[Asus4][Em][A]
Break all the promises I [Em]vowed [A]to keep
[G]Close your eyes and floor it,
[Am]man, no guarantee
[D]We'll see our way clear
[Em]to live [G]free

[Verse 7]
Stumps at the lakefront, like beast
[Am]s at the water hole
It's our own [D]person[Em]al dust [A]bowl
[G]We rise, each morning,
as far [Am]as I can tell
Searching for wa[D]ter from a deep
[Em]er well

[Interlude 1]

[Em][D]

[Verse 8]
[C]Suck in your gut, [Em]blow out [D]your voice
[C]Go home, as if you've got the [Em]choice
[C]Take a shot and smooth your shi[Em]rt
Whatever [C]you do, don't get [Em]hurt
These [E]are high [A]seas
[D]Pull [C]yourself together, [Em]man, and live [D]free

[Verse 9]
I believe [Bm]it,
[Em]and [D]I've found it to be true
You can stay [A]one step ahead of
the [Em]problems that oppress [D]you
I [Bm]believe [Em]it, and [Bm]I've[D] found
it to be true
[A]You can stay one step ahead of your
problem[Em]s[Bm][Em][A][D]
I believe [Em]it, and I've f[D]ound it to be true
[A]I can outrun any one of you[Em].
