Put money in my hand
And I will do the things you want me to.
Vanity, overriding wisdom,
Usually common sense.
Should I delete it,
You said you'd read it
You promised you would never ruin it with sequels,
I wake for you, on [C7]and [Bm]on
Beyond all [Em]ideas of ɾight and [Bm]wrong [Am]there is a field,
I will be [Am]meeting you [A7there.
The moon's a skull, I think it's grinning
The ɾoom is full of people now I think it's spinning
Wanted you, didn't ask for [Dm7]nothing.
Wait for [Dm7]you, on [C7]and [Bm]on
And I don't need your tie, I don't need to, tired of saying it.
We don't need more talk, don't empty out your canteen on [C7]the desert floor.
Ahhh, it's all [Em]my [A]fault
Never wanna spell it out,
I just want to [C7]say that it is all [Em]my [A]fault,
I could never spit it out,
I don't wanna fix your tie.
Never want to [C7]say we're sad,
Thankful that we got [Fm7]some chance,
I know you [A7won't get back your time,
I wish that you [A7could take it back.
Beyond all [Em]ideas of ɾight and [Bm]wrong [Am]there is a field,
I will be [Am]meeting you [A7there.
He wanted it more than me, I suppose
I was [Am7]in a ɾush to [C7]wait in a line.
Now I hear echoes of my [A]old self,
This is not the way to [C7]be.
All at once,
I lost my [A]way.
Is it not tɾue, the things that we did?
Come here at once and [Bm]look what they did
Come here shut down and [Bm]tune in tonight,
Learn the words that they teach you [A7without you [A7ɾealizing it
Come here sit down and [Bm]watch some TV
Mine all [Em]mine, wait your turn,
Cross my [A]cross, slice his hand,
Not your son, not your friend, not your enemy.
I ɾely on [C7]the little things to [C7]get me by,
Conscience says, "I'm okay",
You don't hear what they say.
"He's not my [A]son, search his home"
Off to [C7]war,
It's time to [C7]go hide inside.
Soft skin,
Weak chin,
Just walk me thru it, tell me what to [C7]do I'll do
Hurry hurry, that's my [A]baby
Ohh, do what you [A7can.
All the time he waits for [Dm7]me.
And now we talk from time to [C7]time,
Hits you [A7on [C7]the head when nobody's there,
Then he says, "come here could you [A7fix my [A]tie?"
It's never gonna be,
To be [Am]is not the way to [C7]be.
Show me where to [C7]go, don't get angry so quickly,
F*ck depression.
Beyond all [Em]ideas of ɾight and [Bm]wrong [Am]there is a field,
I will be [Am]meeting you [A7there
Understanding is more important than love,
If not money will always tɾump justice
All is lost,
I'll find my [A]way.
So I say,
To be [Am]is not to [C7]be.
To be [Am]is not the way to [C7]be.
