Verse 1

C#          Bbm
Mrs. Carver says she's sorry
C#        Bbm
She knows enough to worry
Fm
But what does she know about crime?
C#           Bbm
Believes the town is sinking
C#           Bbm
The price of forward thinking
Fm
You stay up all night half the time
F#           C#
Racking your mind
F#       C#
Alone at night
F#                      Fm
While all the neighbors sleep tight

Verse 2

C#            Bbm
Years ago she lost her daughter
C#       Bbm
Off to a sacred order
Fm
Where they get stoned and work the earth
C#            Bbm
Clears up her head with bourbon
C#            Bbm
Cause beer is so suburban
Fm
And declasse for what it's worth

Chorus

F#            Ab        Bbm
She drinks it down down down
F#             Ab      Bbm
For all of the old old days
F#
She's thinking of it now
     Bbm
It's nice to get away
           C#               F#    Fm
But what a fine day for a parade

Verse 3

C#           Bbm
She stays up mending curtains
C#        Bbm
Until her fingers hurt, and
Fm
You can get so bored of it all
C#         Bbm
No one can say for certain
C#           Bbm
She'll never safely know when
Fm
An asteroid will kill us all

Chorus         (x2)

F#            Ab        Bbm
She drinks it down down down
F#             Ab      Bbm
For all of the old old days
F#
She's thinking of it now
     Bbm
It's nice to get away
           C#               F#    Ab
But what a fine day for a parade         (repeat and fade)
