Intro:
Em Em C D
Em (mute)

Em Em C D
the reception's gotten fuzzy
Em Em C D
the delicate balance has shifted
C Em
put on your gloves and your black pumps
C B1
let's pretend the fog is lifted

now you see me
now you don't
now you say you love me
pretty soon you won't

Em C
if we get our full three score and ten
A B2
we won't pass this way again
Em D
so kiss me with your mouth open
C B1
turn the tires toward the street
Em
and stay sweet

all the chickens come on home to roost
plump bodies blotting out the sky
you know it breaks my heart in half in half
when i see them try to fly

cause you just can't do
things your body wasn't meant to
hike up your fishnets
i know you

if we live to see the other side of this
i will remember your kiss
so do it with your mouth open
and take your foot of the break
for christ's sake!
