[Verse 1]
E
I got a suspicion that the world is on a mission
             D          A         E
To show me just how little I can do
E
The good times go by fast, all the bad ones seems to last
           D             A             E
So much longer than I'd ever want them to
D                                 A
The way we deal with troubles reveals how much we know
D                                    A                             E     B7
They often make us stronger but they lay us pretty low before they do

[Verse 2]
E
Well, some say they don’t worry, help is comin' in a hurry
  D                 A          E
Celestial sirens soundin' so divine
E
Comin’ down so holy, trailin' clouds of glory
D                  A            E
Bands of angels hustlin' up behind
D                                 A
Santa Claus is comin', and the Easter bunny too
D                                    A
Tinkerbell's been runnin' late, but that ain't nothin' new
               E       B7
She takes her time


[Verse 3]
E
Well, it’s just superheroes in all sizes comin’ like the sea that rises
D              A             E
In a tide to wash away our tears
E
They never show up till we need 'em
E
Not before we’re bruised and bleedin'
         D                              E
And the nick of time is music to their ears
D                             A
Dressed in ties and tails, a sight for jaded eyes
D                                               A                              E    B7
And the whiteness of their suits sets off the blackness of the lies we never hear


[Verse 4]
E
Well, if you give 'em all your money, they'll say "thanks" and call you "honey"
            D           A                E
Tell you silver’s the way to save your soul
E
If you're empty deep inside, they'll take you for a ride
                          D               A               E
And they'll charge you double just for pointing out the hole
D                            A
Slick as Simple Simon in a coat of shining mail
D                                   A                              E      B7
With an attitude of innocence that never ever fails to leave you cold

[Verse 5]

E
Well, the next time you're in trouble when life's feelin' like a bubble
          D                 A.               E
Gettin' bigger while your mind is gettin' small
E
Skip the flash and thunder, dial up your own number
D                 A              E
See if you can answer your own call
D                                  A
The conversation's brutal, it's often pretty clear
D                                        A                                     E
It's brief and to the point and, if you stick it in your ear, you'll hear it all
E                      D  A /// D  A /// D  A  E
You'll hear it all
