Escalators chords

If i l[D]ay down

On an escalator
Would you step on m[G]e [Gm]
Just a r[D]ug
Tired of hugs and relax[G]ation
[A7]I've given u[D]p
On my autobiogr[G]aphy
Cold coffee and a pi[D]llow
D[G]ays that feel s[D]low
A[G]re en[A7]ough for [D]me

If i g[D]ave in
To the corporate t[G]actics
Would you [A]say that i[G] [G/F#] [Em]
Jeopard[D]ized
All that i [D/C#]once be[Bm]lieved in [Bm/A] [G]
[A]Has[A/B] come unt[D]ied
Teddy "I ca[D/C#]nnot speak sof[G]ty"
Cold coffee and a pi[D]llow
Da[G]ys that feel sl[D]ow
[A7]Are enough for[D] me

Do you e[D]ver think about the future
What holds those i[G]nvisible sutures together
Is the doctor i[D]n
Whatever happened to spontaneity [D]

That's my deity
And i'm in charge of m[G]e
Let's see how far we can w[A]alk with our e[D]yes closed
Each step raises the b[G]ar of uncertainty
But fortunatel[D]y
Our feet are wheels that ride the m[G]aze
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays

Let's t[D]ake the escalator up
We've been living in a c[G]up that's china-made
I drank the k[D]ool aid
N.C.
I paid too much for

And more is just a bore
Of plastic happine[G]ss
Let's get rid [A]of the rest of this
T[D]wist yourself to hear the truth
Your la[G]undry list is so uncouth
Of th[D]ings been checked off

Forgotten or left off
And a[G]ll the lights you never turned off
And i'[D]m the man who pays [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays

[D] If i If i If i If i If i If i If i l[G]ay down
[D] If i If i If i If i If i If i If i l[G]ay down
[D] Would you pick me up Would you pick me u[G]p or
Would you s[A]tep on [D]me [D/C#] [D/B] [D/A] [G] [A]
We're o[D]ut of toilet paper again
All this talk about the e[G]nd is eating me up
Would you please shut [D]up
N.C.
We've had enough

Of the apocalypse
And its making me sick and i cann[G]ot predict
The ending of my f[D]avorite show
Or was it a book in s[G]low motion
Like Captain Cook on the I[D]ndian Ocean
Eaten alive and gr[G]eat history lies in you and I
And [D]I think that's ok [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays [G]
That is my life my h[A]ours my d[D]ays [G] [D]
