Em           D/F#           Csus         G
Looking out across suburban yards to the construct of our 
                 D/F#
days through the thinning of the trees.
    Em          D/F#             Csus
How come I only build a house of cards?
          G                      D/F#
That gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze.
Am7              Bm7           C            D
When I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss.
                Am7                Bm7          C
That's just the cool tongue of the devil with a sucker in 
    D
his midst.

[Chorus:]
G       D/F#        Em            Am7              C    D
One day I'll change you'll be the first one that I call.
  G           D/F#   Em       Am7                   C   D
I owe you an apology too many thanks and that's not all.
                 Csus           D                 G
'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl.


   Em            D/F#             Csus
My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste.
          G                                D/F# 
It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed.
Em               D/F#          Csus
Will this be the measure of my days?
G                            D/F#
Dinners and appointments and deadlines I can't make.
    Am7             Bm7           C            D
And when I start to see it making sense for me.
            Am7  Bm7        C        D
That's just hope springing eternally.

[Chorus]
            C                 G
Outside the summer's gone for good.
        F                  C
Dying impatiens stacked up wood.
                                G
My friends will get together to cook.
                     D                         C    D
To talk about what's happened to take a second look.


    Em               D/F#              Csus
The master loves the servant who blind heeds him.
    G                    D/F#
The husband the obedient wife.
    Em                D/F#               Csus
The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him.
G                         D/F#
Even if you love him even if you save his life.
