=======================================================

Em              C
Rumbling joker hides a lot
Em              G            Am
Rumbling joker lies a lot to you
Em            C
Leads a calibrated life
Em             G        Am
Never does it rudely, foolishly
Bm      C
Cool inside
       Em
May we always cry
        Bm
May we drink them dry
        Am               Em
May we wake up small and pale
Asking very good questions
     Bm
Justifying an existence
       Am            Em
In the belly of the whale

Em             C
Rum professor gathers wounds
Em             G                   Am
Hidden in the frozen dunes by the highway
Em             C
And a sour arrangement cries
Em              G
Dead before the ink dries
     Am
I'm not surprised
 Bm        C
Bruised inside
       Em
May we always cry
        Bm
May we drink them dry
        Am               Em
May we wake up small and pale
Asking very good questions
     Bm
Justifying an existence
       Am            Em
In the belly of the whale
