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#   D#m
   I I don't remember the last time
G#m  C# F#       C#  B
  you  asked how I  was
G#m           C#         F#        C#  D#m
Don't you feel the time slipping away?
          G#m        C#
It ain't funny at all
                      F#     C#  B
It's gonna break your heart one day

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 'til 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

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
