CThis (x32010@1)ain't no love song
              EmThis (022000@1)ain't no organized and scripted happenstance
              FThis (133211@1)ain't no ordinary radio summons straining for amends
         C (x32010@1) B/G (31333x@1)         Am (x02210@1)    B/GIt (31333x@1)ain't this and it ain't that

            F (133211@1)     CIt's (x32010@1)just a song

CThis (x32010@1)ain't Kansas and this ain't May
              EmThis (022000@1)ain't the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
              FThis (133211@1)ain't no cheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
              C (x32010@1)   C/B (x2555x@1)   Am (x02210@1)C/BIt's (x2555x@1)what you want or so you say
C (x32010@1)                                           GIf (320003@1)you need something more then I'll be on my way
          F (133211@1)       CIt's (x32010@1)just song

FSo (133211@1)here's your posies and here's my train
Am (x02210@1)                                    Amsus2
Well I hope that we live long enough to see a better day

CBut (x32010@1)this ain't forever there's no such thing
EmThis (022000@1)ain't no frantic rag a-waiving for attention to my dreams
FThis (133211@1)ain't political masturbation masquerading as a theme
C (x32010@1)           B/G (31333x@1)        Am (x02210@1) B/GAin't (31333x@1)no psychology blowjob for a scream
C (x32010@1)                                               GIt (320003@1)could be you or it could be me
            F (133211@1)     CBut (x32010@1)it's just a song

FSo (133211@1)here's your hook and here's my line
Am (x02210@1)                               Amsus2                 G (320003@1)     FI (133211@1)apologize I couldn't give enough to you with rhymes

Am (x02210@1)                                    Amsus2
But I promise though these words may not resound
C (x32010@1)                                     GI'll (320003@1)always be here even if my heart is wrong
F (133211@1)              CWith (x32010@1)just a song

Bridge

CWe (x32010@1)are strangers
EmAnd (022000@1)there ain't no better place that we can go
              FThis (133211@1)ain't no sensational and cataclysmic century show
C (x32010@1)           C/B (x2555x@1)        Am (x02210@1) C/BNo (x2555x@1)high-tech prophecy of doom or hope

            F (133211@1)     CWith (x32010@1)just a song

FSo (133211@1)here's the hook and here's the line
Am (x02210@1)                                    Amsus2           G (320003@1)     FThere (133211@1)ain't nothing at the end but it's sinking all the time
Am (x02210@1)                            Amsus2
This can't be the only way back down
C (x32010@1)                                          GBut (320003@1)it's the only way I've got to reach the ground
            F (133211@1)        CWith (x32010@1)just a song
