A cat in the grass, an eaves in the eaves

When can we leave?

Pointless details just to crease up your sleeves

      C            C/B               Am               G
Yeah, make up some news and then you believe what you read

Em
Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach

Em
Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach, yeah
