Mrs. Carver says she’s sorry

She knows enough to worry

The price of forward thinking

You stay up all night half the time

Racking your mind
F# Db
Alone at night
F# Fm
While all the neighbors sleep tight
Verse 2

Years ago she lost her daughter

Off to a sacred order

Where they get stoned and work the earth

Clears up her head with bourbon

Cause beer is so suburban

And declasse for what it’s worth
Chorus

She drinks it down down down
F# Ab Bbm
For all of the old old days

It’s nice to get away

But what a fine day for a parade

She stays up mending curtains

Until her fingers hurt, and

She’ll never safely know when
Fm
An asteroid will kill us all
Chorus (x2)

She drinks it down down down
F# Ab Bbm
For all of the old old days
F#
She’s thinking of it now

It’s nice to get away
