[Intro]

G D
[Verse 1]
D Oh yes so hear me roar, I'm a dusty lion D They will heed the call for a quarter mile G A D Whoa, tis the season, yea to roam, for a mate G D Oh and my doorbell's sure to ring, if I just sit and wait
[Verse 2]
D Oh yea well, they've come to play, on these legs like iron G It'll give em more fun than their favorite prize, down at the fair D Oh, what's it worth any more? G You get the keys to my city D Whoa, and directions to my door
[Verse 3]
G D Oh but look on the rooftops, ya the cold just keeps coming oh G D Maybe I'll go fake it, just a little bit more Bm G D Ya well surely the weather doesn't peep through my sweater Bm G D Or sting the eyes of those who I adore
[Interlude]
D G D
[Verse 4]
D Yeah watch me go down that old tar trail D Let the hair grow long on my mane and tail G D Til you can't see my eyes or my ears G And you don't know whether I've been missing for days D Or I've been missin' for days or I been missin' for fuckin' years I been missin' for fuckin' years
[Verse 5]
Bm G D Cuz under the moonlight the weak become weary Bm G D Somethin' a lurkin' might spot them and then Bm G D Back to their home they will hastily scurry G D Just to find the pranksters have let themselves in G Sayin' knock knock knock D Is anybody home D Sayin' knock knock knock knock knock knock A D Is anybody home
[Verse 6]
G D But out on the rooftops the cold just keeps coming G D Maybe I'll fake it a little bit more G D Surely the weather doesn't peep through my sweater G D Or sting the eyes of those who I adore
[Verse 7]
D Cuz the mightly old king of the bridge I be D From my bed of rope everything I see G Times a changin' D No food for the gulls G The beach house misses you sincerely D It complains you never call
[Verse 8]
G D But sadly the world has grown fat on my shoulders Bm G D All we need is a break from time to time Bm G D Surely the weather doesn't get much better Bm G D I hope this ain't the time of my life Bm G D Yeah surely the weather doesn't get much better Bm G D I hope this ain't the time of my life Bm G D Yeah surely the weather doesn't get much better Bm G D I hope this ain't the time of my life
