The Weakerthans – Relative Surplus Value (Guitar)

F#
Find the airport, 7am

F#
My heart pumping pure mini-bar

F#
Sit on the concrete by the carts

F#
And some girl throws a dime in my lap

    E                              B F#
You won't be laughing when you hear  how this one ends

   E                                B
So I sleep through the entire flight

      F#
Don't really wake up until the cab driver says

F#
'Hey, where you going, I forget'

F#
Think of the time I came to visit you here

F#
The year after Jeremy died

    E                       B       F#
And the elevator's fast and pops my ears out

            E             B   F#
They're all waiting patiently

                 C#            B              F#
Touch my name tag, should say 'HELLO I'M: too tired to smile today'

F#                     C#     B
Squeak the chair once, take a deep breath

              G#m         F#                  C#  G#m  
Straighten my tie and say 'what's the damage?'

        E                         B       F#
And the pause feels like an extra year of high school

    E             B   F#
The CEO takes me aside

               C#              B
I'm down 12 points and they're selling

                  F#
The graphs in the board room show

           C#        B            F#
By the time that the market opens in Tokyo

             C#   G#m    F#
I'll be worthless

                          G#m
So, what I'm trying to say

                         E
I mean what I'm asking is

E
I know we haven't talked in a while
