D                    G      D                        G
 He wakes up in the morning, does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling,

D               G      D                     G
 Never changes a thing. The week ends the week begins, she thinks,

D                G     D                   G
 We look at each other, wondering what the other is thinking,

D                  G      D                       G                D   G
 But we never say a thing, and these crimes between us grow deeper.
[Chorus]
Bm         D      G    Bm  A
Take these chances,

Bm         D     G    Bm  A Bm      D
Place them in a box until a quieter time.

Lights down, you up and die.

D                 G          D                         G
 Goes to visit his mommy she, feeds him well, has concerns, he forgets them,

D                   G      D                   G
 And remembers being small, playing under the table and dreaming,
[Chorus]
Bm         D      G    Bm  A
Take these chances,

Bm         D     G    Bm  A Bm      D
Place them in a box until a quieter time.

     G           Bm      A
Lights down, you up and die.
[Jam] D G [Verse 3]
D                    G      D                    G
 Driving in on this highway, all these cars end up on the sidewalk.

D   N.C.       N.C.    G   D   N.C.           N.C.    G
 People in every direction. No words exchanged, no time to exchange when
[Bridge]
G5      Bm/F#  Em                 G5      Bm/F#    Em
All the little ants are marching, red and black antennae waving.

G5      Bm/F#       Em   G5      Bm/F#      Em   D   G
They all do it the same, they all do it the same way, yeah.
[Verse 4]
D                                   G
 Candyman tempting the thoughts of a sweet tooth, tortured by weight loss.

D                                         G
 Program cutting the corners, there's a loose end, loose end, cut cut.

D                                 G
 On the fence but not to offend, cut cut, cut cut.
[Chorus]
Bm         D      G    Bm  A
Take these chances,

Bm         D     G    Bm  A Bm      D
Place them in a box until a quieter time.

     G           Bm      A
Lights down, you up and die.
