E
Night out and no moving
Life under streetlight brooding
Low sound, oh how soothing
Summer caught with red-hand looting
C
All this talk of missing
       A                                    E
Could make a man wanna die if he was ever alive

No crown, no new king
Dread in a worn eye proving
Old hearts fit new wings
Just never been good at losing
All this feeble wishing
Could make a kid wanna cry if he was ever alive

Chorus:
              B
It's getting harder to remember
       A                 G
How a good time used to feel
          B
When the pit of cracked November
            A              G
Is always tricking out my feet
         F#
This is something monumental
A stain on a linen sheet so I pray
 D
Roll, roll December
                             E
But the waves are whipping me

Right thought, but wrong feeling
Cards cut and moonlight dealing
White chalk, hope pealing
Dead earth and a diamond ceiling
All this empty living
Could make a kid wanna cry if he was ever alive

Cut fruit, old papers
Look how a life-line tapers
If she's bored, engage her
A little chore can sometimes save you
All this aimless kicking
Could make a man wanna die if he was ever alive

Chorus

 C
Are you gonna get it?
 A

 Bm
Are you gonna get it?
 C
You paid your way to heaven
 A
Paid your way to heaven
 G
Paid your way to heaven
 Bm
With a maxed-out credit
 C
Said are you gonna get it?
 A
Are you gonna get it?
 G
Are you gonna get it?
 Bm
Are you gonna get it?
 C
You paid your way to heaven
 A
Paid your way to heaven
 G
Paid your way to heaven
 Bm
With a maxed-out credit - x2
