[Intro] E ....... [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.. befo--re.. [Interlude] E C#m A .................... E C#m A .................... [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 [Instrumental] F#m B E B/Eb C#m ..........................
