[Intro]
F# F# F# F#
[Verse 1]
F# B
Hope'll set your eyes agleam
F# C#
Like four feet dangling in the stream
F# B
But the Kingdom of God, it's a pressure machine
F# C#
Every step, gotta keep it clean
F# B
A mattress on a hardwood floor
F# C#
Who could ever ask for more?
F# B
I'll get up and cut the grass
F# C#
Ain't nothing wrong with working class
[Chorus]
G#m C# F# C#/F B
I - I don't remember the last time
G#m C# F# C#/F B
you - asked how I was
G#m C# F# C#/F B
Don't you feel the time slipping away?
G#m C#
It ain't funny at all
F# C#/F B
It's gonna break your heart one day
[Verse 2]
F# B
Keep the debt cloud off the kids
F# C#
Only sunshine on their lids
F# B
Jiminy Cricket and Power Wheels
F# C#
And memories of Happy Meals
F# B
Sometimes I look at the stars
F# C#
And think about how small we are
F# B
Sweating it out in the pressure machine
F# C#
Good till the last drop
[Chorus]
G#m C# F# C#/F B
Why - don't you say little things?
G#m C# F# C#/F B
Butterflies don't just dance on a string
G#m C# F# C#/F B
It feels like you clipped all their wings
G#m C# F# C#/F B
And every year goes by faster than the one before
[Instrumental]
F# F# D#m C#/F B
F# F# D#m C#/F B
[Verse 3]
F# B
We've had that treadmill now for months
F# C#
I think she might've used it once
F# B
If I shut my mouth and keep the peace
F# C#
She'll cook my eggs in bacon grease
F# B
Life'll grow you a big red rose
F# C#
Then rip it from beneath your nose
F# B
Run it through the pressure machine
F# C#
And spit you out a name tag memory
[Instrumental]
G#m G#m C# C# F# C#/F B
[Intro]
We met dragging Main at Spanish Fork. And he wasn't moving away from here, so it wasn't really— And we could build a house here. But—
[Verse 1]
Hope'll set your eyes agleam
Like four feet dangling in the stream
But the Kingdom of God, it's a pressure machine
Every step, gotta keep it clean
A mattress on a hardwood floor
Who could ever ask for more?
I'll get up and cut the grass
Ain't nothing wrong with working class
[Chorus]
I, I don't remember the last time you asked how I was
Don't you feel the time slipping away?
It ain't funny at all
It's gonna break your heart one day
[Verse 2]
Keep the debt cloud off the kids
Only sunshine on their lids
Jiminy Cricket and Power Wheels
And memories of Happy Meals
Sometimes I look at the stars
And think about how small we are
Sweating it out in the pressure machine
Good till the last drop
[Chorus]
Why don't you say little things?
Butterflies don't just dance on a string
It feels like you clipped all their wings
And every year goes by faster than the one before
[Verse 3]
We've had that treadmill now for months
I think she might've used it once
If I shut my mouth and keep the peace
She'll cook my eggs in bacon grease
Life'll grow you a big red rose
Then rip it from beneath your nose
Run it through the pressure machine
And spit you out a name tag memory
