[Verse 1]
A
I am the economist
   D
My worst fears all came true
     F#
Dear all the snakes that i have met
  E
I wave white flags to you
           A
And it's a long long way to the foot of your bed
            D                                      F#
It's been a long hard day and i can't ever get you alone
       E
yeah I know

And if I go away, can I ever go back, can I ever turn back? No.
New knives that I can't escape cause I ain't living in the black
I ain't living in the black

      I know...........I could never make it alone

[Verse 2]
    A
The faucets leak, the floorboards squeak
     D
I've found my place to live
F#
Woke up riding shotgun
          E
Felt that daylight creeping in
            A
It's been a long hard day take me out to the back
          D                                        F#
I think i lost my way but honey you got the map, i know
       E
That I don't

[Bridge]
F#              A                   E
I just wanna be good at something i like
            E*
Something i might wake up for
F#                          A
Cause i've been sleeping so long
             E               E*
I'm up on a stage or minimum wage
              D
Scream myself hoarse

And if I go away well I won't wait, no I can't wait
Turn around and you'll get replaced
No I won't wait forever, no I won't

And if I go away well I won't wait, no I can't wait
Turn around and you'll get replaced
No I won't wait forever, no I won't

And if I go away, can I ever go back, can Iever turn back? no
New knives that I can't escape cause I ain't living in the black
I ain't living in the black, I know
I could never make it alone.
