Riot Gear by Regina Spektor

C5
Wake up

C5
Put on my riot gear

C5                      F5   
But in the study of my house

F5                         G5               
I've got a smoking jacket passed to me from Grand Daddy

      C5              G5    
It's made of bow and arrow meat

G5
Do do do do do do

G5
Do do do do do do


C5
Come home

C5
Take off my riot gear

C5           
Put on my smoke jacket

C5          F5                            G5
But in the library of my house I have a laugh

G5                          C5
Medieval jokes are just as funny now

        G5
If you've got a degree


C5              G5
Heaven help the ones who know

C5          G5         F5
What makes the world go slow

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock


(rest of the song is the same chord patterns)

The night comes
Time to go on the town
And in my best
Sashimi dress
And marble arch supporting shoes
I am a vision in my horse-drawn tank

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Stay out
Drinking into the night
And they are saying those same things
And I'm like "Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee"
'Til half-past three
And then it's time for me to go

Heaven help the ones who know
What makes the world go slow
What makes the world go slow

Come home
Take off my tuna dress
Put on my collard greens
And in my sleep
What dreams may come
Before I'm woken by alarms
Put on my riot gear
