[Intro Riff] x2

G C D G

[Verse]

G
You started drinking the Kool-Aid
C
We were taking the bait
D
We were talking big talk
G
Never playing it safe
G
Looking good as Jane Fonda
C
On a Vietnam tank
D
Can't get something for nothing
G
Have to energize your base

[Pre Chorus]

C
But she was young enough
C
She was blonde enough
C                                     G
She was about a perfect ten
C
Had millions of admirers
C                           D
but not a single friend

[Chorus]

G                                           C
And it's a, it's a little uncanny what she managed to do
                  D                  C                      G
Become a symbol for a pain she never knew

[Intro Riff]

G C D G

[Verse]

G
You know old Ronnie Reagan
C
He was a shoe salesman's son
D
He got himself in the movies
G
He impressed everyone
G
He thought trial by fire
C
Was America's fate
D
He made a joke of the poor people
G
And that made him a saint

[Pre Chorus]

C
But he was tan enough, he was rich enough
C                                            G
He was handsome like John Wayne
C
And there was no one at the country club
                                  D
Who didn't feel the same

[Chorus]

              G
But it's a, it's a little uncanny
C
What he managed to do
D                                  C                                              G
Got me to read those Russian authors through and through

[Intro Riff]

G C D G

[Verse]

G
I miss Christopher Hitchens
C
I miss Oliver Sacks
D
I miss poor Robin Williams
G
I miss Sylvia Plath
G
Every morning's a desert
C
Every night is a flood
D
They say a party can kill you
             G
Well sometimes I wish it would

[Pre Chorus]

C
But I'll get strong enough, I'll be man enough
C                             G
To keep myself in check
C
'Cause all my friends that flew to town
C                                  D
Said that's what they expect

[Chorus]

G
But it's a, it's a little uncanny
C
What they managed to do
D                                   C                               G
Made me admit to things I knew were never true
