When you’ve forgotten your coat
G                                                        Bm
When you make the same deals for a hundred years

Like a coming of age I am learning how to say
            Cm              G              C    D
All the failures I’m dragging behind
                 Em             D/F#   G           /B     C      /B
And I find freedom to speak, freedom to release

Don’t blame the preacher for the lovers in your bed
G                                        Bm
When you find out that the world is round
        Cm            G
Everything is rearranged
                 C     G/B     Am   G
You gotta hold up the mirror now

If we just hold up the mirror now and share in the blame
