D                G
The cash machine is blue and green
D                         G
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
Em                          A
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
D                 G
On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes

D G D G


Em
I wonder why we listen to poets
A
When nobody gives a fuck
D
How hot and sorrowful
G
This machine begs for luck

F#m    G               Bm
All my lies are always wishes
Em             A
I know I would die if I could come back new

D G D G


D
I want a good life
G
With a nose for things
D
A fresh wind and bright sky
G
To enjoy my suffering

Em
A hole without a key
A
If I break my tongue
D
Speaking of tomorrow
G
How will it ever come?

F#m    G               Bm
All my lies are always wishes
Em             A
I know I would die if I could come back new

Em
I'm down on my hands and knees
A
Every time the doorbell rings
D
I shake like a toothache
G
When I hear myself sing

F#m    G             Bm
All my lies are only wishes
Em             A
I know I would die if I could come back new

D
I would like to salute
G
The ashes of American flags
D
And all the fallen leaves
G
Filling up shopping bags
