[Intro]
        E                                                                     A
As your body floats down Third Street With the burn-smell factory closing up

         E                     B/D#              A                   C#m
Yes it's sad to say you will romanticize All the things you've known before

       A              C#m          A              F#m
It was not not not so great It was not not not so great

           E                                                                B
And as you take a bath in that beaten path There's a pounding at the door
[Verse]
E                    C#m                    E/B                A       
  Well It's a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity

             E                   B/D#                A                 C#m
He says "The good old days never say good-bye If you keep this in your mind:

              A            C#m                A                  F#m
You need some lo-lo-loving arms You need some lo-lo-loving arms"

E                                   A             F#m     B
And as you fall from grace the only words you say are
[Chorus]

    Put your hand inside the puppet head

Ads up in the subway are the work of someone Trying to please their boss

               E                       B/D#                     A                   C#m
And though the guy's a pig we all know what he wants Is just to please somebody else

       A                C#m          A                 F#m
If the pu-pu-puppet head    Was only bu-bu-busted in

It would be a better thing for everyone involved And we wouldn't have to cry
