E              E/G#                      Am6
Truly with his thorn in your side and you don’t know why.

E              E/G#                    Am6
Julie dips her toe in the tide and she don’t know why.

        F#m                    B                      C#m
No, she don’t know why she got all dolled up for a suicide.

             F#m                        B
And when the stage-lights dimmed on the fading scrim,

       E                      A
It was morning before the cheering died.

                                B       E
Is it too late to tell you that I don’t mind?

E                E/G#              Am6
King George in imperial robe and a lazy eye

E                 E/G#                   Am6
Knelt down as the semafore broke on his tawdry bride.

       F#m                   B                       C#m
But we don’t know why he got all stressed out on the motherland

         F#m             B
With his TV sets and his fighter jets

       E                 A
And the royal ubiquitous handycam.

                                B       E
Is it too late to tell you that I don’t mind?

E                    E/G#                   Am6
Here’s you with your mom on your back going into the woods.

E                          E/G#                    Am6
She’s so proud that you’re staying on track like a good son should.

        F#m                    B                      C#m
But you don’t know why you got all choked up when you said goodbye.

            F#m                     B
And you can hear her still when the nights are still

    E              A
All crying out for calomine.

                                B       E
Is it too late to tell you that I don’t mind?
