The Point Of It All

C         G     F                           C           G                F
Oh what a noble distinguished collection of fine little friends you have made
C           G      F                          C          G             F
hitting the tables without you again no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait
C                G         F                      C      G          F
June makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
C           G           F
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
          C              G                F
but she's safe she wears shades she wears shades
F                              G               C                F
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
F                           G
and you're aces for coming along
            C               F
you're almost human after all
F                                        G
and you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends
        C    G       F
doesn't mean they'll call
D                        F
they made the comment in jest
D              F          D       F                        C    G    F
but you've got the needle I guess that's the point of it all

C         G     F                           C           G                F
maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
C         G     F                           C           G                F
we propped you right up in a chair on a deck with a beautiful view of the sea
C                  G        F                         C          G             F
but a couple weeks later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
C                  G            F                       C               G         F
you had magically moved to the closet eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been

F                              G               C              F
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
F                           G
and you're aces for coming along
            C               F
you're almost human after all
F                                     G                      C    G   F
why on earth would I keep you propped up in here when you so love the fall
D                        F
patterns laid out on the bed
D
with dozens of colors of thread
D                   F      D                 F               C  G  F
but you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end

C              G               F                   C           G        F
it's better to waste your day watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
C                    G         F                      C         G            F
than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
C                  G             F                         C          G             F
but while you were sleeping some men came around, said they had some dimensions to take
C            G              F                      C           G            F
I'm not sure what they were talking about but they sure made a mess of your face

F                              G               C              F
but still no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
F                              G               C              F
and you're aces for playing along you're almost human even now
F                                     G                      C    G   F
and just cause they call themselves experts it doesn't mean sweet fuck all
D                            F             D                   F
oh they've got the permanent press and the homes with a stable address
D               F              D           F           D              F
and they've got excitement and life by the fistful but you've got the meaning
D                  F              C  G  F
I guess that's the point of it all
