Dm                            Gm
They told me I would live forever

If I kept it clean

Dm                            Gm     E
They said I would be the chosen one

If I took one for the team

To the edge of nowhere

And I will tell on my return the way it is

with all the happy boys and girls
[Bridge]

Told me I could run the world

       E       Dm          F          A
If I kept it quiet

Dm                      Gm      E
They said I could be the man

    Dm        F        A     Dm
If I took it out of sight

     Gm      E        Dm
In a monkey suit again

        F        A           Dm
Having fun with all your friends

        Gm    E          Dm
How a casual act can pull

           F        A
All this world to pieces
[Verse 4]

Give it to the pony

And see if he sticks

Yeah the whole fucking other world

          F      A          Dm
And the way it stirs inside

         Gm           E            Dm
And the why it never burns at night?

         F           A           Dm
And the way they make the climb?

        Gm               E           Dm
And the why they never pray for time

        F      A            Dm
And the way I show surprise

        Gm            E           Dm
And the why I never close my eyes

        A
Yeah, just how it is
[Chorus]

I'll sleep when I'm dead

But until then...
N.C. I should at least be tired, I think
