[Intro] A A A A A7
[Verse] D F#m Bm Bm7 Don't sell me anything G D Your one time offer, so uncalled for A You call it piece of mind D F#m Bm Bm7 Cause I can see your house from here G D A Now all the leaves have fallen, dear D F#m Bm Bm7 I can see you're just a little privateer G A D Dmaj7add4 As your confession draws more near
[Interlude] Bm F# Time and again Bm F# I find I'm listless, or rather, fistless Bm A D Dmaj7add4 In time, oh, that's what I find Bm F# So carry me to Mecca Bm F# With what you may divine Bm G Take me with you, take me with you A Don't leave me behind
[Verse] D F#m Bm Bm7 Oh 'cause I, I don't want your life insurance G D A Home, auto, health, flood, and fire insurance D F#m Bm Bm7 Oh, just make, please make this basic inference G D A And speak of me in the present tense D F#m Bm Bm7 Oh cause I, I can see your ship from here G D A Now the weather, so bright and clear D F#m Bm Bm7 I can see you're just a little profiteer G A D Dmaj7add4 Bm Bm7 As your confession draws more near G A D Dmaj7add4 Bm Bm7 As your confession draws more near G A D As your confession draws more near
