[Verse 1]
G Bb G There's an old man on a city bus holding a candy cane Bb G And it isn't even Christmas Bb F C He sees a note in the obituary that his last friend has died G Bb G There's an infant clinging to his overweight mother in the cold Bb G As they go to shop for cigarettes Bb F C Gm F And she spends her last dollar on a bottle of vodka for tonight
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm And I guess it struck a nerve F C Gm Like I had to squint my eyes F Gm F C You can never get out of the line of sight Bb F Gm Like a barren winter day F C Gm Or a patch of unburned green Gm F Gm D Like a tragic real dreeaam Eb F G Bb I guess it struck a nerve

G Bb G Every day I wander in negative disposition Bb G As I'm bombarded by superlatives Bb F C Realizing very well that I am not alone G Bb G Introverted, I look to tomorrow for salvation Bb G But I'm thinking altruistically Bb F C Gm F And a wave of overwhelming doubt turns me to stone
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm And I guess it struck a nerve F C Gm Sent a murmur through my heart F Gm F C We just haven't got time to crack the maze Bb F Gm Like a magic speeding clock F C Gm Or a cancer in our cells Gm F Gm D A collision in the daaark Eb F G Bb G Bb I guess it struck a neeeeeerrrrve... one, two!

Bb F Gm 'Cause I guess it struck a nerve (It struck a nerve!) F C Gm Like I had to squint my eyes F Gm F C You can never get out of the line of sight Bb F Gm Like a magic speeding clock F C Gm Or a cancer in our cells Gm F Gm D A collision in the daaark Eb F G Bb I guess it struck a nerve
