Em           D/F#           Csus4         G
Looking out across suburban yards to the construct of our 

                 D/F#
days through the thinning of the trees.

    Em          D/F#             Csus4
How come I only build a house of cards?

          G                      D/F#
That gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze.

Am7              Bm7           C            D
When I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss.

                Am7                Bm7          C
That's just the cool tongue of the devil with a sucker in 

    D
his midst.


[Chorus:]

G       D/F#        Em            Am7              C    D
One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.

  G           D/F#   Em       Am7                   C   D
I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.

                 Csus4           D                 G
'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl.



   Em            D/F#             Csus4
My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste.

          G                                D/F# 
It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed.

Em               D/F#          Csus4
Will this be the measure of my days?

G                            D/F#
Dinners and appointments and deadlines I can't make.

    Am7             Bm7           C            D
And when I start to see it making sense for me.

            Am7  Bm7        C        D
That's just hope springing eternally.


[Chorus]

            C                 G
Outside the summer's gone for good.

        F                  C
Dying impatiens stacked up wood.

                                G
My friends will get together to cook.

                     D                         C    D
To talk about what's happened to take a second look.


    Em               D/F#              Csus4
The master loves the servant who blind heeds him.

    G                    D/F#
The husband the obedient wife.

    Em                D/F#               Csus4
The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him.

G                         D/F#
Even if you love him even if you save his life.
