A5
Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet
A5
Wondering if the Third World War's started yet
A5
I told her I was pulling up and heading West
A5
She said she would have come but she was overdressed
A5
I sent a picture postcard of a Midwest bank
A5
She wrote me that she showed it to her new friend Frank
A5
Who noticed in a window on the nineteenth floor
A5
A guy my age about to prove that Man can't soar
D7 (start playing full chords, not muted)
And he would also like to know
C7
If I could just check around before I left this town
Em
For slow-mo footage of the tumbledown
A Amaj7
This may not be my best day

A5
A van pulls up and someone offers me a ride
A5
The driver lost the map and he was terrified
A5
Everybody whispering to save his pride
A5
Say, "Son, would you be kind enough to be our guide?"
A5
The driver yells, "The man in back already tried,
A5
But his memory is rusty and his vision tied."
A5
Glasses and a lubricant were by his side
A5
The Tin Man was inanimate, the Lion lied
D7 (full chords, not muted)
They did not want to see me go
C7
But I did not want to be another muskateer
Em
Plus the gas runs out before the van's in gear
A Amaj7
Please don't hit me if I do say

A5
Buster and his company look good in black
A5
Trying to find a way out of the cul-de-sac
A5
Tearing through the phone book and the almanac
A5
They all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac
A5
They finally found the number of a matador
A5
Who rode in a Beemer with a pricey whore
A5
But Buster wasn't quick enough, he locked the door
A5
And rode off saying he'd be back before the war
D7 (full chords, no muting)
By then the night was falling slow
C7
And I did not want to stick around and just look old
Em
When I saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder
(now, on the album, everything kinda stops while a single guitar
takes over for the full band. On this version, the acoustic just
keeps on chugging at full speed. Kinda changes the mood of the song)
A Amaj7
This may not be my best day
