[Verse 1]
G Em C Am A Am
Dead in the water, it's not a paid vacation
G Em
The sons and daughters of city
C Am A Am
officials attend demonstrations
G Em C
It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well
D
if the ticket sells
G Em C Am A Am
[Verse 2]
G Em C Am A Am
Out with a whimper, it's not a blaze of glory
G Em
You look down from your temple
C Am A Am
as people endeavor to make it a story
G Em
And chisel the marble words
C D
that all is lost if it's never heard
[Chorus]
C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't tell what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations
G Em C Am A Am
[Verse 3]
G Em C Am A Am
I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me
G Em
As strange as it seems,
C Am A Am
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
G Em
The ground may be moving fast
C D
but I tied my boots to a broken mast
G Em C D G
[Verse 4]
G Em
The difference is clear,
C Am A Am
you throw it in your cauldron
G Em C Am A Am
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
G Em C
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
D
and salt to taste
[Chorus]
C
But damn my luck and damn these friends
D
That keep on combing back their smiles
C
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
D
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
D
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
