[C][G]
[C]All you kids get out the back door
I've [F]never seen her this bad

the window
And broke 'em all [G]over her clean floor

[Verse 2]
It's [C]Saturday [G]at the [C]mansion
[F]The oldest boy walks with
a slouch
The young ones are wild in
[C]back of the house
And she [G]gave up and went back
to [C]sleep on the couch

[Verse 7]
So I'm wearing my footsteps
into this floor
[F]One day I won't live here
anymore
Someone will wonder who
lived here be[C]fore
And went [G]on their way
I live [C]too many

[Verse 8]
miles from the ocean
And [F]I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with a
[C]black cup of coffee
And I [G]talk to [C]the mother of God
[F]Something as simple as boys

[Verse 9]
and girls
[C]Gets tos[G]sed all around and
then lost in the [Am]world
[F]Something as hard as a prayer
on your back
Can wait a [G]long time for an answer
[Am]Can wait a long time for an answer
