E Aadd9 As your body floats down Third Street With the burn-smell factory closing up E B/D# A C#m Yes it's sad to say you will romanticize All the things you've known before A C#m A F#m It was not not not so great It was not not not so great E B And as you take a bath in that beaten path There's a pounding at the door E C#m E/B A Well It's a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity E B/D# A C#m He says "The good old days never say good-bye If you keep this in your mind: A C#m A F#m You need some lo-lo-loving arms You need some lo-lo-loving arms" E A F#m F#m -> B And as you fall from grace the only words you say are E E/G# E/C# E/B Put your hand inside the puppet head E/G# E/A E/F# E/B Put your hand inside the puppet head D F#m Put your hand inside Put your hand inside E E/D# C#m A Put your hand inside the puppet head E C#m E/B Aadd9 Ads up in the subway are the work of someone Trying to please their boss E B/D# A C#m And though the guy's a pig we all know what he wants Is just to please somebody else A C#m A F#m If the pu-pu-puppet head Was only bu-bu-busted in E A F#m F#m -> B It would be a better thing for everyone involved And we wouldn't have to cry Chorus Memo to myself: do the dumb things I gotta do Touch the puppet head B B -> C -> B Quit my E C#m E/B Aadd9 job down at the carwash Didn't have to write no-one a good-bye note E That said, "The check's in the mail, and B/D# A C#m I'll see you in church, and don't you ever change" A C#m A F#m If the pu-pu-puppet head Was only bu-bu-busted in E A F#m F#m -> B I'll see you after school Chorus 2x
