[Verse 1]
G C
That ivory tower's looking tattered and tired 'round the eyes
G
Ain't getting much sleep at night
G C
My daddy told me, "politicians never learn the golden rule.
G
Do unto others, as you'd have them do to you."
[Chorus]
D
But you go 'round and around it
C
You go over and under
G
I go through
[Verse 2]
G C
Food on the table, running car, and tuck my kids in at night
G
The American Dream in real life, yeah
G C
My mom's an Angel, cigarette smoke like a halo 'round her hair
G
Sun is shining right behind her standing there
[Chorus]
D
You go 'round and around it
C
You go over and under
G
I go through
D
You go 'round and around it
C
You go over and under
G
I go through
[Bridge]
G
You break my legs, then make me walk
G
You seal my lips, then demand I talk
C G
You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew
G
Yeah, you do
[Chorus]
D
You go 'round and around it
C
You go over and under
G
I go through
G
Oh, through, oh
G C G D C G
[Verse 3]
G C
My kid, he asked me, "daddy, when you coming home to me from work?"
G
If I'm being honest, man, that hurt
[Chorus]
D
So I go 'round and around it
C
I go over and under
G
He goes through
[Bridge]
G
You break my legs, then make me walk
G
You seal my lips, and demand I talk
C G
You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew
G
Yeah, you do
[Chorus]
D
You go 'round and around it
C
You go over and under
G
I go through

I go 'round and around it
C
I go over and under
G
She goes through

We go 'round and around it
C
We go over and under
G
We go through
