Intro: D# 
 
D# 
I, I always believed in futures, 

I hope for better in November. 

Try the same booth, same lucky numbers. 

It could be a cold night for a lifetime.

Hey now, you can't keep singing endlessly, 
    D#5          D# 
My darling, how long until this sun burns me?  
 
Chorus: 
G# 
Say hello to good times, 
 D#           D#5      D# 
Trade up all the fast lines  
    G#                                               D# 
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets 
  D#5    D# 
Completely. 
 
 
D# 
I, I always could count on futures, 

And things would look up, they'd look up. 

Why, so hard to find a balance 

Between living decent and the cold and real. 
 
Hey now, what is it you think you see?  

My darling, now's the time to disagree. 
 
{Repeat Chorus}

My darling, what matters is what hasn't been.

My darling, believe your votes can mean something.
