verse

C   (4 bars)
C				 F
There was a grown man dying from fright
     Am                         D
So surprised at the things he’d say
          C                   F
When your trying this fantasy life
       A5               D
Runnin’ round on feet of clay

chorus

C           FM7          C       FM7
Makin’ it except for a perpetual debt that
A5          G         C  F
Couldn’t be stripped away
    C        FM7      C       FM7
And right or wrong we moved him along
C          G      C     (pluck) g g  f f  e e
Closer to division day 
   
v
It’s been a long time living with that
Never could give it a name
And when you don’t know what you’re looking at
It makes it much harder to tame

c
Mostly they’d leave when
He was asleep and had some sick exchange
They’d stroke him as wrong	
And move him along
Closer to division day

verse w/ features

c
Making exception for a bad connection
That only goes one way
Sell out for a song
Where I don’t belong
With you on division day

v
The moon stood up on a wave
Looking down where the water shines
And a man looking over the bridge
Like he’s done so many times

c
Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way
Trying to fly away from you all
    C      G       Am  F
It’s over division day
           G     C
Beautiful division day
