[Verse 1]
   E           E              E            A    A
As slowly as a yogi stretches at an unsafe park

  E                 E                 D   A/C#       B
I tiptoe toward the gravity of the predicament we're in

        E             E              E             A     A
I'd  prefer leaving tomorrow sitting firmly in the dark

  E               E              D      A/C#   B
Instead of facing one more tired vision of the end
[Chorus]
       Bbdim    A          E          E
But if tha........at's the ball game

         Bbdim  G#m       A     A
If the exper...iment's complete

    B              B
And we both stand around

   E                 E
To watch it all come down

   F#m            E         A    A
At least we got a front-row seat

[Verse 2]
      E                E               E            A    A
I got good at changing subjects nearly everywhere I went

      E            E               D        A/C#  B
Until all my conversations all got too good to be truе

     E             E            E              A      A
This world can wax poetic about airborne toxic evеnts

           E                    E                 D       A/C#   B
While I'll take the time that's left me, and I'll give it all to you
[Chorus]
          Bbdim    A          E          E
'Cause if tha........at's the ball game

         Bbdim  G#m       A     A
If the exper...iment's complete

    B              B
And we both stand around

   E                 E
To watch it all come down

   F#m            E         A    A
At least we got a front-row seat
[Solo Prelim + Solo] (Guitar only, then solo over verse+chorus chord progression) [Verse 3] N.C. If it's true that it's a curse to live in interesting times
     E            E                D    A/C#     B
Then why do I get butterflies as I peek over the ledge?

E              E       E               A      A
I'll bring the popcorn, you bring some wine

     E                 E                     D      A/C#    B
Just don't pay for the whole seat if all you needed was the edge
[Chorus]
          Bbdim    A          E          E
'Cause if tha........at's the ball game

         Bbdim  G#m       A     A
If the exper...iment's complete

    B              B
And we both stand around

   E                 E
To watch it all come down

At least we got a front-row seat
[Outro]
   F#m            E         A    A
At least we got a front-row seat

   F#m            E         A    A
At least we got a front-row seat
