A B A B
Four of us were having dinner, and I threw down the paper with a curse
A C
And my wife said "Complaining doesn't get it
D E
You gotta do something or you can bet it will get worse"
A B A B
And my friend said "You've been watching T.V. too much
i ii iii iv D E D E
And all that hippie hopefulness is just a crutch
A B A B
But if thinking that way helps you to make it through the night
A C E D E
Then who am I to say what's wrong and right?"
Chorus:
D E F G
But I think we're passing through here kind of fast
D C F E F E
Did you think that these tracks in the dust would last?
D E F G
I think we're passing through here kind of fast
D C H (riff)
Did you think that these tracks in the dust would last?
A B A B
"So you think that we should just sit here and have another glass of wine
A C
While the world goes to hell which you know damn well
D E
It's going to do just down the line?"
A B
And his lady said "I don't know, how can you be so sure
A B
I mean, some things seem to get better, you know
i ii iii iv D E D E
The hero still saves the damsel in distress, the villian doesn't get her"
A B
And I said "Where have you been living?
A C
I mean, they're selling death in the streets cheap
A C D E
And the lying politicians are rolling in the profits they reap"
A B A B
And he said, "He's right honey, but I think its always been that way"
A C D E
And he smiled kind of patiently and I knew he was going to say

I think we're passing through here kind of fast
