Verse:
                   G             *C9
They're tearing up streets again
                   D7       D/F#
They're building a new hotel
                G           *C9
The mayor's out killing kids
              D7    D/F#
To keep taxes down
   (same pattern through all verses)
And me and my anger sit
Folding a paper bird
Letting the curtains turn
To beating wings

Chorus:
             C         *C
Wish I had a socket set
                  G       D/F#  Em
To dismantle this morning
                 C           *C
Just one pair of clean socks
               D7   D/F#
And a photo of you
   (same pattern through all choruses)

Verse:
When you get off work tonight
Meet me at the construction sight
And we'll write some notes to tape
To the heavy machines
Like we hope they treat you well
Hope you don't work too hard
We hope you get to be
Happy sometimes

Chorus:
Bring your Swiss Army Knife
And a bottle of something
And I'll bring some spray paint
And a new deck of cards

Verse:
Hey I found the safest place
To keep all our tenderness
Keep all those bad ideas
Keep all our hope
It's here in the smallest bones
The feet and the inner ear
It's such and enormous thing
To walk to listen

Chorus:
And I'd like to fall asleep
To the beat of you breathing
In a room near a truck stop
On a highway somewhere

Verse:
Well you are a radio
You are an open door
I am a faulty string
Of blue Christmas lights
You swim through freequent seas
You let that stranger in
As I'm blinking off and on
And off again

Chorus:
And we've got a lot of time
Or maybe we don't
But I'd like to think so
So let me pretend

Verse:
Well these are my favorite chords
I know you like them too
When I get a new guitar
You could have this one
And sing me a lullabye
Sing me the alphabet
Sing me a story I
Haven't heard yet
