intro ( and pretty much the whole song ) :
| F | Am | F | C | F – G | Am – C | F | G |

F Am
she says the joys of life are lost among the living
F C
so i guess all those souvenirs are for her health
F G
she gives me quarters for the phone
Am C F
and every time i feel alone i go broke
G
yeah i go broke

F Am
she says if you’re not here at least make sure you miss me
F C
so when i miss her i make sure to let her know
F G
it’s the least that i could do
Am C
and sure i guess i like it too
F G
i’m mr . charming without the charming

F Am
i can hear the eyebrows raise when i start singing
F C
’cause the songs i sing are all about myself
F G
you can read me like a book
Am C
i’m not as clever as i look

F
i’ve got a sneaky kind of selfish
G
that i keep upon the shelf
F
with jars of double – sided comments
G
for people who’ve done nothing wrong

F
preparing for the lights
G
and always practicing my sha – na – nas
F
i will stand right next to giants
G
and roar aside the lions

F
wondering how is it so easy
G
for leaves amid the breeze to blow
F
from hometowns all around us
G
to hometowns where nobody lives

F
just cities full of people
G
people making people
F
making people for the masses
G
people we won’t ever know

{intro x1}

F Am
she says the point of this is not to date the future
F C
so just focus on the task at hand
F G
try to break up with your pride
Am C
and start to flirt with satisfied

| F | G | F |
