Verse 1

Db          Bbm
Mrs. Carver says she's sorry
Db        Bbm
She knows enough to worry
Fm
But what does she know about crime?
Db           Bbm
Believes the town is sinking
Db           Bbm
The price of forward thinking
Fm
You stay up all night half the time
F#           Db
Racking your mind
F#       Db
Alone at night
F#                      Fm
While all the neighbors sleep tight

Verse 2

Db            Bbm
Years ago she lost her daughter
Db       Bbm
Off to a sacred order
Fm
Where they get stoned and work the earth
Db            Bbm
Clears up her head with bourbon
Db            Bbm
Cause beer is so suburban
Fm
And declasse for what it's worth

Chorus

F#            Ab        Bbm
She drinks it down down down
F#             Ab      Bbm
For all of the old old days
F#
She's thinking of it now
     Bbm
It's nice to get away
           Db               F#    Fm
But what a fine day for a parade

Verse 3

Db           Bbm
She stays up mending curtains
Db        Bbm
Until her fingers hurt, and
Fm
You can get so bored of it all
Db         Bbm
No one can say for certain
Db           Bbm
She'll never safely know when
Fm
An asteroid will kill us all

Chorus         (x2)

F#            Ab        Bbm
She drinks it down down down
F#             Ab      Bbm
For all of the old old days
F#
She's thinking of it now
     Bbm
It's nice to get away
           Db               F#    Ab
