Verse 
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
I`m looking at another day to find that I`ve got nothing to say 

Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
Or I`m looking for another way to process what happened on that birthday 

F C F A Bb F A Bb 
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you 

F C F A Bb F A Bb 
And right away, if you`re gonna play your part, you must drink it down 


Verse 
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
But mine eyes have seen the glory of the fields of flowers and factory floors 

Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
And my mind`s content to lie at rest for hours behind my loved one`s doors 

F C F A Bb F A Bb 
And if there`s a war, another shitty war to fight for Babylon 

F C F A Bb F A Bb A Bb 
Then it`s the perfect storm in a tea cup, but you must drink it down 


Chorus 
Bm Bb F 
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more 

A F Bb 
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more? 

Bm Bb F 
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door 

A F Bb A Bb A Bb 
Saying its time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it down?

Verse 
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
So I`m lifting up that poison cup to drink a draught of propaganda 

Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb 
Or I`m giving up that other stuff in hopes that it`ll make me madder 

F C F A Bb F A Bb 
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you 

F C F A Bb F A Bb A Bb 
And right away, if you`re gonna play your part, you must drink it down 


Chorus 
Bm Bb F 
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more 

A F Bb 
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more? 

Bm Bb F 
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door 

A F Bb A Bb A Bb 
Saying it`s time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it down? 

Repeat Intro 


Chorus 
Bm Bb F 
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more 

A F Bb 
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more? 

Bm Bb F 
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door 

A F Bb 
Saying it`s time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it 

Bm Bb F 
And what does it say of all the things you`ve said before 

A F Bb 
When you`re too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more? 

Bm Bb F 
And what do you save? And what does it feel like to be saved? 

A F Bb A Bb A Bb 
And can you ``pull 2-3-4, pull 2-3-4,`` can you drink it down?
