Gmaj7  Gmaj9  D  Dsus2
(Intro)

    Gmaj7     Gmaj9         D         Dsus2
The monster exposed himself from underground
Gmaj7       Gmaj9      D               Dsus2
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Gmaj7      Gmaj9        F#m
Hoping the patrons just don't hear a sound

Gmaj7            Gmaj9   D              Dsus2
Heart, court and harmony just ain't the same
Gmaj7        Gmaj9       D            Dsus2
My black and their green playing some games
     Gmaj7         Gmaj9      F#m
I've got all these pictures I just need the frames

D                                F#m
These are the things that you'll never do
Bm                      E7
Feeding the wife on the phone
    Gmaj7          Gmaj9       D   Dsus2  Gmaj7  Gmaj9  D  Dsus2
And there you are, all on your own

Gmaj7           Gmaj9          D           Dsus2
Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
   Gmaj7         Gmaj9         D             Dsus2
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
Gmaj7       Gmaj9           F#m
I'd like to help them; I've already said

D                                F#m
These are the things that you'll never do
Bm                     E7
Running away from your home
    Gmaj7          Gmaj9       D   Dsus2
And there you are, all on your own
Gmaj7  Gmaj9  D  Dsus2  Gmaj7  Gmaj9  D
Mm,           mm.       Mm,           mm.
