The Easy Mark And The Old Maid Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

ASome men collapse at the Bmracetrack

DTheir wrong and beat up, their Aeyes black

 Others wilt in caBmsinos

DRoll dice and piss away sApeedboats

 Some dissolve into Bmbar stools

DScratched off in boxes and Aplayoff pools

 I spent myself on a Bmpsychic

DI lost my way and a Afriend said she would find it

 Man, we were DwrF♯mong.Bm

 Man, we were F♯mwronEg.A

 I Dasked for the future,

EShe only sang me a Asong.

 Some men they go make their Bmown luck

DGrow fat from feeding on Alame ducks

 The easy mark and the Bmold maid

DThe invalid and the Aingrate

 Others wait for that Bmhigh sign

DSome holy hoax in the Atree-line

 Me, I'm counting my cBmanned food

DBunkered down waiting Aout our slingshot moods

 But what if I'mD wF♯mrongBm?

 What if I'mF♯m wroEngA?

 I'll Dopen my doors up

EPeople, come sweep Ame along.

Interlude

Bm, D, E, A x2

Bm D F♯m Bm C♯m

 Eyes are fixed and my Bmpalms are spread

DDissonance floats my sAhipwrecked head

 God sleeps in the GBmaza strip

DAnd man alone's left alone to Alive with it

 The coin-flip faith of the Bmoptimist

DIt's beginners luck in a Asewing kit

 What's to do when there Bmis no fix

DOn the unflinching amAbivalence?

 But you say that'sD wF♯mrongBm

 Hopeless andF♯m wroEngA

 We Dre-thread your needle,

EYou say, "God, play aAlong."
