Bm C G G# Bm Sylvia knows a little hideaway Bm C G G/F# Em Scrawling out prose she couldn't give away Em C Csus2 Am A life spent all indoors Am C Well, isn't that what doors are for? G Em Down on the knuckle C Down on the knuckle Am Oh, the weather's dreary C G G# Bm Here down on the knuckle

Bm C G G# Bm Your relatives write their cheery monologues Bm C G G/F# Em Hoping you might find your only analog C Csus2 Am So make another list Am C Of the mandatory things you've missed G Em Down on the knuckle C Down on the knuckle Am Oh, aren't we lucky C G G# Bm Stuck here on the knuckle

Bm C G G# Bm The pillory's full for the holidays Bm C G G/F# Em And it's achingly dull to watch the paint peel away Em C Csus2 Am So I'll keep hid with mine Am C And I'm sure that we'll make out just fine G Em Down on the knuckle C Down on the knuckle Am I'm finally riding C G Em Shiny, on the knuckle
[Outro]
C Down on the knuckle Am Oh, aren't we lucky C G Stuck here on the knuckle
