Chords

[Intro] D A Em G [Verse 1]
D
The bank sign out my window is laughing in my face

            G
'Cause it's seven in the morning and only four degrees

               Em                                 C               Em
And there's a city budget crisis, they're closing all the libraries

            G
There's no money left for nothing
So they're only plowing Broad Street [Verse 2]
         D
Picking lunch over the subway
I got four bucks to my name
            G
And it's another morning bike ride
In the fucking freezing rain
          Em
I pull a second pair of gloves on
Tying bags around my feet
     G
I'm not getting trench foot this week
[Chorus]
D                      A                    E   Em        G
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone

                       D
But I feel like it today
[Verse 3]
D
Swipe left to dodge a car door
12th and Cecil B
           G
Caught my front wheel in the trolly tracks
Slid across the street
          Em
I showed up to work all bloodied up
But still got all my teeth
      G
And lately that's what's passing as lucky

          Bm          Em
Lucky for me
[Chorus]
D                      A                    E   Em        G
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone

                       D
But I feel like it today

     D                      A
And I heard a song on the radio

           D             Em
Said that that's just the way it goes

       G               D
And I think I'm gonna break
[Bridge]
Bm                       E  Em       G            D
I keep thinking of ways to make it seem like an accident

   Bm                       E  Em       G            D
Pull the brake off my bike so if the bus runs the light well then

 Bm                    E           G            D
I've been telling myself that it can't be that serious

 A                        Bm             Em
But if I'm sounding like this I guess it is
[Chorus]
D                      A                    E   Em        G
I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone

     D                      A
And I heard a song on the radio

           D             Em
Said that that's just the way it goes

       G               D
And I think I'm gonna break
