C Am G F F D Dm I look back on all the times When I was rude or unkind C Cmaj7 To someone just trying to help me Dm So often there's no time to think I know my body I vomit into the sink C Cmaj7 And that's okay Dm I am a salary man I want cigarettes from Japan C Cmaj7 That taste like oranges Am G F G I miss our talks over coffee C Em F G Am Nothing says "home" like a basket of folded white shirts G F G C We can forgive, but we will forget Cmaj7 Ab G F F7 Even when everyone talks about it F F7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C Dm The snake sleeps I can't get home No TTC C Cmaj7 I didn't charge my cell phone last night Dm They say a man (Hey man) Should go to work (Go to work) And not come home (Not come home) Just to feel like a jerk C Cmaj7 Well, that's half true Dm I am a salary man Singing to a rock/roll band C Cmaj7 Happy happy joy joy Am G F G My failures are put out to pasture C Em F G Am I gaze through the window; there is still poetry there G F G C We can forgive but we can't forget Cmaj7 Ab G F F7 No, not when no one shuts up about it F F7 C Salarymen sleep on public benches Next to the street Dm In their new suits, shiny blue ties Polished black boots, scratchy red eyes C In the morning, crawling to the office You can hear them sing "Good morning" to their bosses Dm Oh, dead-eyed snake deep under the ground F/A Dancing in the dark, slithering around C I wanna go home Cmaj7 Let me go home C I wanna go home Let me go Ab G F F7 Nobody loves me like you do F F7 (pause) F F7 F F7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C Dm
