C
did you hear the one about a joke without a punch-line

or the song about a movie of a book
Em
like a stolen bouquet meant to be given away
G
to the girl that never gives you a look

C
well that's how I've been spending all my meantime

wondering if it's doing any harm
Em
resetting myself to when everything felt
G
like a book I'm holding under my arm

F                                         C
but it's not that I want back all my innocence
F                 D          G
just the joy of losing it again

C
the favorites get their favors
                                       Em    G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
                                      Em     G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

C
we got doctors that know everything about us

we can level cities by the end of the day
Em
the world is turning back into dust or maybe it's just
G
we're becoming all the god's that we've praised

C
or maybe the world is finally moving on without us

while we wait to see who's winning some debate
Em
it's like we're running a race after spinning in place
G
we're pulling left when we've been moving straight

F                                C
but me I think I'll keep on spinning
F               D            G
and smile as I hit the ground

C
the favorites get their favors
                                       Em    G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
                                      Em     G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday

Dm                                                 Am
Like a tree that doesn't look for it's root, it grows
F                                     Am                 G
Like a bird on the day that it's season is through, it knows

C
the favorites get their favors
                                       Em    G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
C
the great one's all get greater
                                      Em     G
and this stranger's getting stranger everyday
