[Verse 1]
DYou'd be surprised if you D/Blooked through the eyes of a D/Ano---Ava
EmNot recognizing the Gmolehills on top of the Bm/F#starBsus/F# Bm/F# Bsus/F#
DCheerful and D/C#swollen he D/Bwaves from his D/Aseat in a RoEver
That is his Gmcar
[Verse 2]
You wouldn't Ddoubt him to shake the most D/Bpowerful hands of imD/AportaAnce
Emchanging the world as we Gknow it by leaving his Bm/F#inkBsus/F# Bm/F# Bsus/F#
To Djudge from the D/C#fence 'round his D/Bhouse he must D/Alove all his Echildren
That's what you Gmthink
[Chorus]
But there's Dno time to think
Have a Apill and a shrink
Just don't G/Bshow G/Aus Ghow G/Eyou Dsweat
Making love to your Akids
is the last love that G/Byou G/Awill Gev-G/Eer Dget
You're a Avanishing image of G/Bwhat G/AI Gthought G/EI Aknew
But it goes to sF#how
That the Bm/F#man AI Eknow -Gm
[Verse 3]
Is kissing that Dcheck that he had lifted D/Bup for her fortyfirst D/Abirth - Aday
EmLove is when someone you Gtrust cuts a smile in your Bm/F#faceBsus/F# Bm/F# Bsus/F#
DBoy had a D/C#dog and poor D/Bgirl had a D/Astroke like an Eearthquake
Now dog is a biGmrd
[Chorus]
But there's Dno time to think
Have a Apill and a shrink
Just don't G/Bshow G/Aus Ghow G/Eyou Dsweat
Making love to your Akids
is the last love that G/Byou G/Awill Gev-G/Eer Dget
You're a vanishing Aimage of G/Bwhat G/AI Gthought G/EI Aknew
But it comes to F#show
That the Bm/F#man AI Eknow
Has a Bm/F#fa----Ading Eglow
In a Bm/F#white AlampEshade -Gm
[Outro Verse 1]
DTell me lampshade the D/C#truth did you D/Gcover his D/Bsoul
Did you D/Bbprotect all the horrible
D/AI shall tear you D/Bbapart so that everyone D/Bknows
What he's been D/CcarryD/C#ing aDround
[Outro Verse 2]
DTell me lampshade what iD/C#s it you are tD/Grying to hD/Bide
Under your D/Bbstinky old corduroy
D/AI shall rip and be shD/Bbattered by the shrapnel D/Bof light
That I've been D/Cchoking on D/C#alwaysD
[Outro Verse 3]
DThere is a dog barking cD/C#lose within thD/Ge range of D/Bmy ear
Sounds like he D/Bbwants to escape the chain
D/AHe would probably D/Bbbite me to death if he D/Bcould
But the D/Cchain lets me D/C#spit in his Dface
[Outro Verse 4]
DLike the dog has a D/C#chain clinging tD/Gight to it's D/Bneck
This man is D/Bbtied to his secrecy (solo starts here)
D/AI would like to have D/Bbkilled him off in this last D/Bverse
But instD/Cead I removed D/C#his lampshadDe
