Artist: Bad Books
[A](not actually played) [Bm]
Some men collapse at the racetrack
[D]Their wrong and beat up, their [A]eyes black
Others wilt in ca[Bm]sinos
[D]Roll dice and piss away s[A]peedboats
Some dissolve into [Bm]bar stools
[D]Scratched off in boxes and [A]playoff pools
I spent myself on a [Bm]psychic
[D]I lost my way and a [A]friend said she would find it
[D] -[F#m] -[Bm]
Man, we were wrong.
[F#m] -[E] -[A]
Man, we were wrong.
I [D]asked for the future,
[E]She only sang me a [A]song.
Some men they go make their [Bm]own luck
[D]Grow fat from feeding on [A]lame ducks
The easy mark and the [Bm]old maid
[D]The invalid and the [A]ingrate
Others wait for that [Bm]high sign
[D]Some holy hoax in the [A]tree-line
Me, I'm counting my c[Bm]anned food
[D]Bunkered down waiting [A]out our slingshot moods
[D] -[F#m] -[Bm]
But what if I'm wrong?
[F#m] -[E] -[A]
What if I'm wrong?
I'll [D]open my doors up
[E]People, come sweep [A]me along.
[INTERLUDE]
[Bm] , [D] , [E] , [A] x2
[Bm] , [D] , [F#m] , [Bm] , [C#m]
Eyes are fixed and my [Bm]palms are spread
[D]Dissonance floats my s[A]hipwrecked head
God sleeps in the G[Bm]aza strip
[D]And man alone's left alone to [A]live with it
The coin-flip faith of the [Bm]optimist
[D]It's beginners luck in a [A]sewing kit
What's to do when there [Bm]is no fix
[D]On the unflinching am[A]bivalence?
[D] -[F#m] -[Bm]
But you say that's wrong
[F#m] -[E] -[A]
Hopeless and wrong
We [D]re-thread your needle,
[E]You say, "God, p[A]lay along."
Some men collapse at the racetrack
[D]Their wrong and beat up, their [A]eyes black
Others wilt in ca[Bm]sinos
[D]Roll dice and piss away s[A]peedboats

[D]Scratched off in boxes and [A]playoff pools
I spent myself on a [Bm]psychic
