Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
I`m looking at another day to find that I`ve got nothing to say
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
Or I`m looking for another way to process what happened on that birthday
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And right away, if you`re gonna play your part, you must drink it down
Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
But mine eyes have seen the glory of the fields of flowers and factory floors
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
And my mind`s content to lie at rest for hours behind my loved one`s doors
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And if there`s a war, another shitty war to fight for Babylon
F C F A Bb F A Bb A Bb
Then it`s the perfect storm in a tea cup, but you must drink it down
Chorus
Bm Bb F
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more
A F Bb
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door
A F Bb A Bb A Bb
Saying its time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it down?

Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
So I`m lifting up that poison cup to drink a draught of propaganda
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
Or I`m giving up that other stuff in hopes that it`ll make me madder
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you
F C F A Bb F A Bb A Bb
And right away, if you`re gonna play your part, you must drink it down
Chorus
Bm Bb F
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more
A F Bb
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door
A F Bb A Bb A Bb
Saying it`s time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it down?
Repeat Intro
Chorus
Bm Bb F
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more
A F Bb
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door
A F Bb
Saying it`s time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it
Bm Bb F
And what does it say of all the things you`ve said before
A F Bb
When you`re too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what do you save? And what does it feel like to be saved?
A F Bb A Bb A Bb
And can you ``pull 2-3-4, pull 2-3-4,`` can you drink it down?
(End on Dm)
