[A5]Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet
[A5]Wondering if the Third World War's started yet
I [A5]told her I was pulling up and heading West
She [A5]said she would have come but she was overdressed
I [A5]sent a picture postcard of a Midwest bank
She [A5]wrote me that she showed it to her new friend Frank
Who [A5]noticed in a window on the nineteenth floor
A [A5]guy my age about to prove that Man can't soar
D7 (start playing full chords, not muted)
And he would also like to know
If I could [C7]just check around before I left this town
For [Em]slow-mo footage of the tumbledown
[A]This may not be my [Amaj7]best day

                       G-2-2-|-2-x-2-2-2-   this version and is very
                       D-0-0-|-0-x-0-0-0-   cool. It's as if everything

[A5]A van pulls up and someone offers me a ride
The [A5]driver lost the map and he was terrified
[A5]Everybody whispering to save his pride
Say, "[A5]Son, would you be kind enough to be our guide?"
The [A5]driver yells, "The man in back already tried,
But his [A5]memory is rusty and his vision tied."
[A5]Glasses and a lubricant were by his side
The [A5]Tin Man was inanimate, the Lion lied
D7 (full chords, not muted)
They did not want to see me go
But I did [C7]not want to be another muskateer
Plus the [Em]gas runs out before the van's in gear
[A]Please don't hit me if I [Amaj7]do say

[A5]Buster and his company look good in black
[A5]Trying to find a way out of the cul-de-sac
[A5]Tearing through the phone book and the almanac
They [A5]all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac
They [A5]finally found the number of a matador
Who [A5]rode in a Beemer with a pricey whore
But [A5]Buster wasn't quick enough, he locked the door
And [A5]rode off saying he'd be back before the war
D7 (full chords, no muting)
By then the night was falling slow
And I did [C7]not want to stick around and just look old
When I [Em]saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder
(now, on the album, everything kinda stops while a single guitar
takes over for the full band. On this version, the acoustic just
keeps on chugging at full speed. Kinda changes the mood of the song)
[A]This may not be my [Amaj7]best day
