Verse 1:
Dm
Time it tells livin' in my hometown
Wedding bells they begin easy
live it down baby dont talk that much
baby knows that baby don't tease me
F
In the park we could go walking
Bb
down in the dark we could go sailing
Dm
on the sea
Verse 2:
Dm
always here always on time close call.
was it love or was it just easy?
money talks when people need shoes and socks
steady boys I think that she needs me
F
I was just sippin on something sweet
Bb
I don't need political process
Pre-Chorus:
D5 Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
D5 Asus4
see I was thinking that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
But it's been getting to me all this time
A5
And they don't stop dragging me down
Chorus 1:
F C Dm Bb
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
F C Dm A
patiently correction leaves us all alone
Bb C Dm
and sometimes I'm a travelin' man but tonight
Dm C Bb C
This engines failing

Bridge:
Dm
kick the can, kick the can skip and blackjack, steal a car and ring around rosie
rock and roll, candyland, boogieman, run away and give me your sneakers
Verse 3:
Dm
Acid rain when Abel looked up at Cain
we began weeping and a wailin'
hurry high from pestilence pills and pride
It's a shame we could have gone sailing
F Bb
but Heaven knows, Heaven knows everything...tranquilize
Pre-Chorus:
D5 Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more

See I was thinkin' that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
but it's been getting to me all this time

and don't stop dragging me down

I still hear the children playing, dead beat dancers come to us and stay
F Dm
cause I don't care where you been
C Am
and I don't care what you seen
Dm Gm
we're the ones who still believe
C F
and we're looking for a page
C Dm
in that lifeless book of hope
C Am
where dream might help you cope
Dm Gm
where the bushes and the bombs
C F
uh huh tranquilize
