    Gmaj7     Gmaj9           D         Dsus2
The monster exposed himself from underground
Gmaj7       Gmaj9       D               Dsus2
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Gmaj7       Gmaj9        F#m
Hoping the patrons just don't hear a sound

Heart, court and harmony just ain't the same
My black and their green playing some games
I've got all these pictures, I just need the frames

Chorus:
D                                F#m
These are the things that you'll never do
Bm                      E7
Feeding the wife on the phone
    Gmaj7          Gmaj9
And there you are, all on your
D  Dsus2 Gmaj7 Gmaj9 D Dsus2
own

Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
I'd like to help them, I've already said

Chorus:
These are the things that you'll never do
Running away from your home
And there you are, all on your own
