[Verse 1]
D                G
The cash machine is blue and green

D                         G
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee

Em                          A 
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents

D                 G
On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes
D G x2 [Bridge]
Em
I wonder why we listen to poets

A
When nobody gives a fuck

D
How hot and sorrowful

G
This machine begs for luck
[Refrain]
D7        G               Bm
   All my lies are always wishes

Em   Emmaj7       A7
   I know I would die if I could come back new
D G x2 [Verse 2]
D
I want a good life

G
With a nose for things

D
A fresh wind and bright sky

G
To enjoy my suffering

Em
A hole without a key

A
If I break my tongue

D
Speaking of tomorrow

G
How will it ever come?
[Refrain]
D7/F#     G               Bm
   All my lies are always wishes

Em   Emmaj7       A7
   I know I would die if I could come back new
[Bridge]
Em
I'm down on my hands and knees

A
Every time the doorbell rings

D
I shake like a toothache

G
When I hear myself sing
[Refrain]
D7/F#     G              Bm
   All my lies are only wishes

Em   Emmaj7       A7
   I know I would die if I could come back new
D G x2 [Outro]
D
I would like to salute

G
The ashes of American flags

D
And all the fallen leaves

G
Filling up shopping bags
