G5     C5      D5       G5
Trash day in Beverly Hills,
                   C5                 D5            G5
All the sad little mommas with their happy little pills,
                    C5                 D5             G5
That flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools,
                  C5                D5           G5
While the Mexican nannies take the children to school.
        A5                D5
There's so much to be and nothing to do,
    C5           D5           G5    C5 D5 G5
How did it ever end up that way.


G5     C5      D5                G5
Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee,
           C5            D5          G5
No-one can smell this religion but me.
            C5             D5               G5
I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men,
                      C5             D5             G5
That drink, smoke and fuck like the world's gonna end.
    A5                         D5
And Sunday will come and we'll all just pretend
        C5            D5             G5    C5 D5 G5
That it never really happened that way,
                   C5 D5 G5
happened that way,
                   C5 D5 G5
happened that way,
                   C5 D5 G5
happened that way.

      C5                 G5
I can tell a lie by the way that you walk,
          C5                           G5
and I can hear the confessions in the way you talk,
    C5                           G5        D5      E5
and all the little actions that give yourself away,
             A5                        C5                   (riff)
So lie still don't talk, don't breathe, I'll be over soon.


G5     C5      D5        G5
Trash day in Atlanta GA,
                   C5                D5           G5
I can hear the sanitary trucks from two miles away.
               C5               D5           G5
I've said everything that this town has to say,
                        C5                D5           G5
Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away.
A5                   D5
Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade,
      C5              D5           G5    C5 D5 G5
But I wish it didn't happen that way,
                 C5 D5 G5
happen that way,
                 C5 D5 G5
happen that way,
                 C5 D5 G5
happen that way.
