.......
[Verse 1]
E A
Hope'll set your eyes agleam
E B
Like four feet dangling in the stream
E A
But the Kingdom of God, it's a pressure machine
E B
Every step, gotta keep it clean
E A
A mattress on a hardwood floor
E B
Who could ever ask for more?
E A
I'll get up and cut the grass
E B
Ain't nothing wrong with working class
[Chorus]
F#m B E B/Eb C#m F#m B E B/Eb C#m
I,...... I don't remember the last time you...... asked how I was
F#m B E B/Eb C#m
Don't you feel the time slipping away?.....
F#m B
It ain't funny at all.....
E B/Eb C#m
It's gonna break your heart one day
[Verse 2]
E A
Keep the debt cloud off the kids
E B
Only sunshine on their lids
E A
Jiminy Cricket and Power Wheels
E B
And memories of Happy Meals
E A
Sometimes I look at the stars
E B
And think about how small we are
E A
Sweating it out in the pressure machine
E B
Good till the last drop
[Chorus]
F#m B E B/Eb C#m
Why ....don't you say little things?
F#m B E B/Eb C#m
....Butterflies don't just dance on a string
F#m B E B/Eb C#m
....It feels like you clipped all their wings
F#m B E B/Eb C#m
And every year goes by faster than the one before..
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E A
We've had that treadmill now for months
E B
I think she might've used it once
E A
If I shut my mouth and keep the peace
E B
She'll cook my eggs in bacon grease
E A
Life'll grow you a big red rose
E B
Then rip it from beneath your nose
E A
Run it through the pressure machine
E B
And spit you out a name tag memory
