Call Yourself

 
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 
 

 
E 
Well, some say they dont 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 
 

 
E 
Well, its 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 were 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 
 

 
E 
Well, if you give 'em all your money, they'll say "thanks" and call you "honey" 
            D           A                E 
Tell you silvers 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 
 

 
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
