E
When all is said and done
A
We're not the only ones
E
Who look at life this way
A
That's what the old folks say

   B
But every time I'd see them
          A
Makes me wish I had a gun
       B
If I thought that I was crazy
        A
Well I guess I'd have more fun

E                       D A
Guess I'd have more fun

Chorus:
G#m                C#m
The catcher in the rye again
G#m                 A
Won't let you get away from him
                   Am         E
It's just another day like today

F#                A
You decide 'cause I don't have to
F#                      A
Then they will find and I won't ask you
F#             A
At anytime or long hereafter
F#                       A
If the cold's outside as I'm imagining
F# A   F# A G#m
It  to be

Chorus

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
And if they'd ever change
That's not who am I to say

But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun

'Cause what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone
that belongs insane like I do

      E
On an ordinary day
          G#m
Not in an ordinary way
       C#m
All at once the song I heard
    A
No longer wouldn't play
        E
For anybody
      G#m
Or anyone
            C#m
That needed comfort from somebody
        A
Needed comfort from someone
     E       G#m
Who cared To be
         C#m             A
Not like you and unlike me
                          E
And then the voices ran away
      G#m
From me
            C#m
So now you set the wheels in motion
    A
It haunts our memories
             E
You were the instrument
             G#m
You were the one
      C#m
How a body took a body
     A
And gave that boy a gun
             E
You took our innocence
            G#m
Beyond our stares
              C#m
Sometimes the only thing you got at all
      A
When no one else is there
