I wonder why we listen to poets, when nobody gives a fuck

Verse 3:
D G
I want a good life, with a nose for things

A fresh wind and bright sky, to enjoy my suffering

A hole without a key, if I break my tongue

Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?

Em A Bm
I'm down on my hands and knees, Every time the doorbell rings

I shake like a toothache, When I hear myself sing

D G
I would like to salute, the ashes of American flags
D G
And all the fallen leaves, filling up shopping bags
The rest is just some finger picking emphasising the open D. I just play around
with it.
The cash machine is blue and green
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
We want a good life with a nose for things
The fresh wind and bright sky to enjoy my suffering
A hole without a key if I break my tongue
Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
I'm down on my hands and knees
Every time a doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache
When I hear myself sing
All my lies are only wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
I would like to salute
The ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves
Filling up shopping bags
