TUNING:  D   A   C   F   G    Cor   E   B   D   G   A  D  
Em7 F#m7  Em7 F#m7
Em7Four of us were having diF#m7nner
And I tEm7hrew down the paper with a cF#m7urse
And my wife said "CEm7omplaining doesn't F#m7get it
                                                   GAaddD  GAaddD
You got to do something or you can bet it will get worse"
And my friend said "YEm7ou've been waF#m7tching Em7T.V. too mF#m7uch
      Bm7AaddD  G   F#m7                         GAaddD  GAaddD
And all that hippie hopefullness is just a crutch
But if tEm7hinking that way hF#m7elps you
To mEm7ake it through the nF#m7ight
               Em7                   F#m7AaddD    GAaddD
Then who am I to say what's wrong and right?"
                  GAaddD                     Bm7  C#m7  
But I think we're passing through here kind of fast
                    GAaddD                      Bm7AaddD  Bm7AaddD
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?
               GAaddD                    Bm7  C#m7  
I think we're passing through here kind of fast
                    GAaddD                    Bm7  
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?
"So you think we should just sit here
And have another glass of wine
While the world goes to hell
Which you know damn well it's going to do just down the line?"
And his lady said "I dunno, how can you be so sure
I mean, some things seem to get better
The hero still saves the damsel in distress
The villan doesn't get her"
And I said "Where have you been living?
I mean they're selling death in the streets, cheap
And the lying politicians are rolling in the profits they reap"
He said "He's right honey, but I think it's always been that way"
And he smiled kind of patiently and I knew he was going to say
I think we're passing through here kind of fast
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?
I think we're passing through here kind of fast
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?
              GAaddD     Bm7(N.C.)          E6+9
I think we're passing through here kind of fast
