Look at us in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

Look at us form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us being cruel kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block

There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

How I’ve spun my wheels
With carts before my horse
And shine on the outside springs from gloom
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
And score bourne into corn, stretching my limit

There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

C G Am F
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

C G Am F
You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

chorus:
D Bm G A
You’ve already won me over in spite of me
D Bm Bb A
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
D Bm G A
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
F C
I couldn’t help it
G
It’s all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

chorus:
You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

(harmonica solo with chorus chords)

You’re the best listened that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

chorus:
You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

Intro:

Cmaj7 D6? Cmaj7 D**
Hi yi yi— yi yi yi yi yi yi

D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
An old man turned ninety-eight
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
He won the lottery and died the next day
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
It´s a black fly in your Chardonnay
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
It´s a death row pardon two minutes too late
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
Isn´t it ironic … don´t you think

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take
F C Dsus
Who would ´ve thought … it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
” Well isn´t this nice … ”
And isn´t it ironic … don´t you think

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

Cmaj7 D6?
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D6?
When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right
Cmaj7 D6?
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
Cmaj7 D6?
You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
D**
In your face

A traffic jam when you´re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It´s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn´t it ironic … don´t you think
D /F# G(9) D/F# Em7
A little too ironic … and yeah I really do think …

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

Cmaj7 D6?
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D6? Cmaj7
Life has a funny, funny way — of helping you out

Helping you out

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you’re still alive

Chorus:
E D G A
And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I’m not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you’re still alive

And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I’m not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back
I hope you feel it…well can you feel it

And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Verse:
G
I’m broke but I’m happy, I’m sore but I’m kind
I’m short but I’m healthy, yeah I’m high but I’m grounded, I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful, baby

Chorus:
F
And what it all comes down to
C G
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
F
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
C C9 G
And the other one is givin’ a high five

Verse:
G
I feel drunk but I’m sober, I’m young and I’m underpaid
I’m dyin’ but I’m workin’, yeah
I care but I’m restless, I’m here but I’m really gone
I’m wrong and I’m sorry, baby

Chorus: (F C G F C C9 G)

And what it all comes down to
Is that ev’rything’s gonna be quite alright
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flickin’ a cigarette

Chorus: (F C G F C C9 G)

And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin’ a peace sign

G
I’m free but I’m focused, I’m green but I’m wise
I’m hard but I’m friendly, baby
I’m sad but I’m laughin’, I’m brave but I’m chickenshit
I’m sick but I’m pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
Well I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin’ a piano

And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
