Em (022000@1)         D/F# (200232@1)         csus         GLooking (320003@1)out across suburban yards to the construct of our 

                 D/F#days (200232@1)through the thinning of the trees.

    Em (022000@1)        D/F# (200232@1)           csus
How come I only build a house of cards?

          G (320003@1)                    D/F#That (200232@1)gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze.

Am7 (x02010@1)            Bm7 (x20202@1)         c (x3101x@1)          DWhen (xx0232@1)I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss.

                Am7 (x02010@1)              Bm7 (x20202@1)        cThat's (x3101x@1)just the cool tongue of the devil with a sucker in 

    Dhis (xx0232@1)midst.


[Chorus:]

G (320003@1)     D/F# (200232@1)      Em (022000@1)          Am7 (x02010@1)            c (x3101x@1)  DOne (xx0232@1)day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.

  G (320003@1)         D/F# (200232@1) Em (022000@1)     Am7 (x02010@1)                 c (x3101x@1) DI (xx0232@1)owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.

                 csus           D (xx0232@1)               G'Cause (320003@1)I've been running long before I learned to crawl.



   Em (022000@1)          D/F# (200232@1)           csus
My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste.

          G (320003@1)                              D/F# (200232@1)It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed.

Em (022000@1)             D/F# (200232@1)        csus
Will this be the measure of my days?

G (320003@1)                          D/F#Dinners (200232@1)and appointments and deadlines I can't make.

    Am7 (x02010@1)           Bm7 (x20202@1)         c (x3101x@1)          DAnd (xx0232@1)when I start to see it making sense for me.

            Am7 (x02010@1)Bm7 (x20202@1)      c (x3101x@1)      DThat's (xx0232@1)just hope springing eternally.


[Chorus]

            c (x3101x@1)               GOutside (320003@1)the summer's gone for good.

        F (133211@1)                cDying (x3101x@1)impatiens stacked up wood.

                                GMy (320003@1)friends will get together to cook.

                     D (xx0232@1)                       c (x3101x@1)  DTo (xx0232@1)talk about what's happened to take a second look.


    Em (022000@1)             D/F# (200232@1)            csus
The master loves the servant who blind heeds him.

    G (320003@1)                  D/F#The (200232@1)husband the obedient wife.

    Em (022000@1)              D/F# (200232@1)             csus
The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him.

G (320003@1)                       D/F#Even (200232@1)if you love him even if you save his life.
