Soapbox

C#sus2 G# And ain't it lovely when you're falling off your soapbox? Fm The way time stops? Cm All their jaws drop? C#sus2 As you drift down. G# And ain't it lovely when you lay down on the concrete? Fm Don't it taste sweet? Cm The blood on your teeth? C#sus2 Drips on the ground. F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#5 C# If you know you're headed for slaughter F# G# C# If you know where you've been F# G# C# C#sus4 C# C#5 C# Oh, you will be changed like iron by water F# F#5 F# G# This is the end, just the end C#sus2 The end of an age G# And ain't it lovely when you feel humiliation? Fm And the desolation? Cm Then that elation? C#sus2 Knowing you're free. G# And ain't it lovely when the medicine you're needing Fm All your begging and pleading Cm It's slowly receding. C#sus2 Now you're free.
