A [G]little girl is standing at your [D]door on Halloween
The [Em]face of expectation and of [A]trust in everything;

[Em]Dusting off his hands he's feeling [A]proud of what he's done

[CHORUS]
The [Bm]geocentric days are gone and [Em]Earth is still a sphere

[VERSE 2]
The [G]trees turn into buildings and the [D]weeks turn into months
It's[Em] one thing or another or it's [A]everything at once;
There's [G]two sides to each story, yes and [D]sometimes many more
And [Em]four bananas make a bunch and [A]two times ten's a score

[BRIDGE]
If we [G6]weren't in so much trouble I would [D]say that things were fine
And [F#m]smile as I went walking and just [Em]wave on down the line;
If there [A]weren't so many problems I would [Bm]say that it's okay
And [Em]smile as I went walking and just [Bm]wave on down the way

[VERSE 3]
[G]Mothers hate war more in general [D]than Joint Chiefs of Staff
[Em]Battleground statistics don't add [A]up in schoolhouse math;
The [G]male of this here species lives for [D]eighty years or so
[Em]Starts to see the mess he's made and [A]then it's time to go

[VERSE 4]
It's [G]often said that life is strange, but, [D]hey, compared to what?
I [Em]asked this question years ago, it's [A]still worth asking, but
It [G]all seems stranger now, I think, but [D]that could be just me
And [Em]I've no all-time gauge of strange for [A]objectivity
