Tom: D

Introdução:

F    F7+    F7    F    Bb    F/A    Gm    Abº7    Gm(Gm7)  
verse 1
F                                                                    Dm      Eb                            Gm(Gm7)  
Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
             Am                                                                                            F7  
And had he successively beaten back the rising tide
                                          Dm  
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
                                             Abº7              Gm  
On his watch while he was alive
F                    Abº7                              Db         Dm  
Lord, just a little more time
          F  F7+  F7            F  
Oh, in no time at all
                                        Bb    F/A    Gm  
This'll be the distant past
G7         Gm(Gm7)  
Ooh
verse 2
F                                            Dm      Eb                                    Gm(Gm7)  
So says the dying man once I'm in the box
F                                                                      Dm      Eb                              Gm(Gm7)  
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
                                             Am                                                                                            F7  
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
                                             Dm  
The homophobes, hipsters, and 1%
                                                                     Abº7              Gm  
The false feminists he'd managed to detect
F                         Abº7                                                      Db         Dm  
Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
          F  F7+  F7            F  
Oh, in no time at all
                                        Bb    F/A    C  
This'll be the distant past
Bridge
Ab                                              C                                      F                      Bb  
What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
Gm                                                      C                            F                    Bb  
The world made in his image as of yet to realize
                     Dm              Gm            C  
What a mess to leave behind
verse 3
F                                                    Dm      Eb                                 Gm(Gm7)  
Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
F                                                                              Dm              Eb                                         Gm(Gm7)  
But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss
                     Am                                                              F7  
And it occurs to him a little late in the game
                                  Dm  
We leave as clueless as we came
                                                                          Abº7                      Gm  
From rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
F                    Abº7                      Db         Dm  
We'll all be wrong someday
