[Intro]
Am Gadd4 D7/F# x2
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
If you got a pretty good idea of what you're lookin' for
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Then you got a pretty good idea of what you find
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
You don't have to go so very far these days
F7 G
To find yourself a made-up mind
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Oh, the man-made man is driving big shiny wheels
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Way too fast down a rainy stretch of road
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
You know the story, you know how this turns out
F7 G
Wheels up in the dark and cold
F7 G
Ah, wheels up in the dark and cold
[Chorus]
C Gadd4/B Am F
But those kids down in the square
C Gadd4/B Am F
Are dancing like they just don't care
C Gadd4/B Am
I think they know it all washes away
D7/F#
In the morning rain
F7
In the morning rain
[Verse 2]
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
So we can ride for a while on this big blue wave
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Of plastic and petroleum and sodium light
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
But chickens are runnin' circles, the circles are gettin' smaller
F7 G
And the fox is in the town tonight
F7 G
The fox is on the town tonight
[Chorus]
C Gadd4/B Am F
But those kids down in the square
C Gadd4/B Am F
Are dancing like they just don't care
C Gadd4/B Am
I think they know it all washes away
D7/F#
In the morning rain
F7
In the morning rain
[Bridge]
Am Gadd4 D7/F# x2
Mmmmmmmmm
F7
Mmmmmmmmm
[Verse 3]
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Oh, Jesus, Billy Butler, things sure do fall apart
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
If you could only see that rough beast slouchin' now
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
Because our middle has no center, our up has got no down
F7 G
Because we ain't got no brains, no how
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
All the rifles got no safety and the barn has got no door
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
And the old man has got no coat for when it snows
Am Gadd4 D7/F#
And that has got no this and this has got no that
F7 G
And the emperor has got no clothes
F7 G
The emperor has got no clothes
[Chorus 2]
C Gadd4/B Am F
But those kids down in the square
C Gadd4/B Am F
Are dancing like they just don't care
C Gadd4/B Am
I think they know it all washes away
D7/F#
In the morning rain
F7
In the morning rain
C Gadd4/B Am F
Oh, those kids out in the streets
C Gadd4/B Am F
They raise up their hands, they keep moving their feet
C Gadd4/B Am
I think they know it all washes away
D7/F#
In the morning rain
F7
In the morning rain
End on F7
