Cdid you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line
or the song about a movie of a book
Emlike a stolen bouquet meant to be given away
Gto the girl that never gives you a look
Cwell that's how I've been spending all my meantime
wondering if it's doing any harm
Emresetting myself to when everything felt
Glike a book I'm holding under my arm
Fbut it's not that I want back all my innocCence
Fjust the joy of loDsing it agaGin
Cthe favorites get their favors
and this stranger's getting stranger evEmerydayG  
Cthe great one's all get greater
and this stranger's getting stranger eEmverydayG  
Cwe got doctors that know everything about us
we can level cities by the end of the day
Emthe world is turning back into dust or maybe it's just
Gwe're becoming all the god's that we've praised
Cor maybe the world is finally moving on without us
while we wait to see who's winning some debate
Emit's like we're running a race after spinning in place
Gwe're pulling left when we've been moving straight
Fbut me I think I'll keep on spinnCing
Fand smile as I hDit the groundG  
Cthe favorites get their favors
and this stranger's getting stranger evEmerydayG  
Cthe great one's all get greater
and this stranger's getting stranger eEmverydayG  
DmLike a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it groAmws
FLike a bird on the day that it's seasoAmn is through, it knGows
Cthe favorites get their favors
and this stranger's getting stranger evEmerydayG  
Cthe great one's all get greater
and this stranger's getting stranger eEmverydayG

did you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line

or the song about a movie of a book

like a stolen bouquet meant to be given away

to the girl that never gives you a look

well that's how I've been spending all my meantime

wondering if it's doing any harm

resetting myself to when everything felt

like a book I'm holding under my arm

F C

but it's not that I want back all my innocence

F D G

just the joy of losing it again

the favorites get their favors

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

the great one's all get greater

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

we got doctors that know everything about us

we can level cities by the end of the day

the world is turning back into dust or maybe it's just

we're becoming all the god's that we've praised

or maybe the world is finally moving on without us

while we wait to see who's winning some debate

it's like we're running a race after spinning in place

we're pulling left when we've been moving straight

F C

but me I think I'll keep on spinning

F D G

and smile as I hit the ground

the favorites get their favors

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

the great one's all get greater

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

Dm Am

Like a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it grows

Like a bird on the day that it's season is through, it knows

the favorites get their favors

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

the great one's all get greater

Em G

and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
