G
Well he's out of season out of sync
but lord what must his family think
Bm
and you must be getting his feathers wet.
Cm
But she always seems to be the talk
Until she drops you like a rock
G D C
You should?ve been a better friend to him.
G
Well I dusted all the bones were in my yard
I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
Bm
But still you call me from the moon
Every single afternoon
Cm
Tell me all about the astronauts you come to love
And how the earth looks from above
G D C
And how I should?ve been a better friend to you.
G C G B5
But I never seen life as a chore, a treasure for to find
Em C D7x
I?ve read the news, abused the booze, and often wondered why
G C G B5
My smile remains though I'm thinking pains the average passerby
Em
Well they?ll sink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine.
G- Bm- Cm- G- D- C
G
Well I?m sure I came to hate my skin and all the holes you?re digging in
Bm
The way you let my leg waltz through each way
Cm
by your side
G D G
well you should?ve been a better friend of mine
G
Well I saw in you a brand new bird the song of which I never heard
Bm
You know it was a melody so fine that whole world would find
Cm
And it?s a tune to give the boys the blues and turn the horses into glue
G D C
You know I should?ve been a better friend to you
G D C
Yeah I should have been a better friend to you
G C G B5
But I never seen life as a chore, a treasure for to find
Em C D7x
I?ve read the news, abused the booze, and often wondered why?
G C G B5
My smile remains though I'm thinking pains the average passerby
Em
Well they?ll sink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine.
Whoo!!
