CHey,    yCou chase the dFay away,
CHey,you draw tChe blinds and blow Fyour mind away,
DmThere's a sadness Cin your eye
DmAnd there's a blanknesCs in your smile,
Verse 2:
And the people in the park say you're down,
And the strangers in the dark say you're down,
And the pissheads in the bars, say you're down, you're down
And the audiences cry that you're down,
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the boyfriends and your love say you're down, you're down

Hey, you chase the day away
Hey, you draw the blinds and blow your mind away,
There's a sadness in your lite,
There's a madness in your smile
Hey, you chase the day away
Hey, you draw the blinds and blow your mind away,
There's a sadness in your lite,
There's a madness in your smile"
