Tom: D
D
I'm a Jack of all trades and a bastard son
D
A burnt out slave and a master of none
G D
A cog on a wheel in a dog and pony show
D
But if I won the lottery I'd be taken seriously
G D G D
With the keys to the kingdom and a stock portfolio
[Chorus]
D A Em Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
D A Em A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
D A
The master makes the rules
Em Bm
And the master plays the fools
D A F#m Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
A Bm
Silent harmony
[Verse 2]
D
Look at the Jones, they ain't sad at all
D
They love the wage, they hate us all
G D
They dance to the rhythm of a dark and distant drone
D
I can't keep up with the Jones no more
D
I can't make rent when I had it before
G
Now a big wolf is at the door
D G D
Looking for blood from a stone
[Chorus]
D A Em Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
D A Em A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
D A
The master makes the rules
Em Bm
And the master plays the fools
D A F#m Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
A Bm
Silent harmony
[Solo]
G Em Bm A

D
[Verse 3]
D
Should I grow old before I die
D
Just another John Doe in debt to his eyes
G D
Choking on the barrel of a gun run down my throat
D
Held by the master's invisible hands
D
"More, more, more!" the master commands
G D G D
"Call in the lawyers, piss on the ants," I quote. No joke
[Chorus]
D A Em Bm
No I don't know why I wait for pigs to fly
D A Em A
A normal day for them is a miracle for me
D A
The master makes the rules
Em Bm
And the master plays the fools
D A F#m Bm
An ordinary voice in a silent harmony
A Bm
Silent harmony
[Outro]
