  Mrs Carver says she's sorry,    she knows enough to worry

| Fm
     But what does she know about crime?


| C#              Bbm             | C#              Bbm
     Believes the town is sinking:     the price of forward-thinking

| Fm
     You stay up half the night all the time,


| F#         C#   | F#      C#
Racking your mind, alone at night

    | F#                 Fm
While all the neighbours sleep tight

  Years ago she lost her daughter,    off to a sacred order 

| Fm
     Where they get stoned and work the earth

| C#               Bbm              | C#               Bbm
     Clears up her head with bourbon,   'cause beer is so suburban

| Fm
     And declassé, for what it's worth

| F#            G#  | Bbm    | F#         G#     | Bbm
  She drinks it down, down for all of the old, old days

| F#                              | Bbm
     She's thinking of it now, it's nice to get away

         | C#             | F#  | Fm
But what a fine day for a parade

| C#           Bbm             | C#           Bbm
  She stays up mending curtains     until her fingers hurt and

| Fm
     You can get so bored of it all

| C#            Bbm            | C#              Bbm
     No one can say for certain,    she'll never safely know when

| Fm
     An asteroid will kill us all
