[Verse 1]
D                G                  D                         G
The cash machine is blue and green, for a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
Em                         A                       D                     G
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents, on Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes
 
[Verse 2]
D  G         D  G
..................
Em                              A                         D                     G
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck, how hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck
 
[Chorus 1]
D7/F#     G              Bm    Em             A7                          D  G   D  G
All my lies are always wishes, I know I would die if I could come back new
 
[Verse 3]
D                  G                        D                            G
I want a good life with a nose for things, a fresh wind and bright sky, to enjoy my suffering
Em                    A                     D                     G
A hole without a key if I break my tongue, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?
 
[Chorus 2]
D7/F#     G              Bm    Em             A7                          D  G   D  G
All my lies are always wishes, I know I would die if I could come back new
 
[Verse 4]
D  G         D  G
..................
Em                             A                              D                         G
I'm down on my hands and knees every time the doorbell rings, I shake like a toothache when I hear myself sing
 
[Chorus 3]
D7/F#    G              Bm    Em             A7                          D  G   D  G
All my lies are always wishes, I know I would die if I could come back new
 
[Verse 5]
D                          G                        D                         G
I would like to salute the ashes of American flags, and all the fallen leaves filling up shopping bags...
