    G58 blocks aB5way would put you at the C5water towers from my place,
What's the G5difference when you B5calculate,
By C5crunching numbers with cC5runched up eyelids?
G5Twenty-six hundred B5miles is 45 C5hours.
I tried to G5count the space in a B5million yellow dashed C5lines, and my gas tank's just empty.
   G5I don't have the B5balls, or the where-with-C5all, or the cash to fill it
G5again,
So I guess it's B5best I stick around the C5house.
(G5)       (B5)                (C5)
Measure my days and metered my years in fear and muscle tension,
(G5)             (B5)                 (C5)
    Meals and the beds that I slept in.

Tried to give a few decent gifts and scribbled a few things off the list,
       (B5)                       C5  
But it still goes something like this.
    G5Clean your deC5sk,
Write your B5ex,
Do the dC5ishes and your taxes,
    D5Throw the shit you don't need C5away,
    G5Call the aC5irline 'bout the fast food sB5cam,
Write to C5Adam,
Tape for D5Craig,
Throw the beer bottles and the cans C5away,
Underline G5work.
