[Verse 1]
Gm There's an old man on a Bbcity bus
Holding a Gmcandy cane
And it Bbisn't even Christmas.
Gm He sees a note in the oBbbituary
That his Flast friend has Cdied.
Gm There's an infant clingBbing to
His overweight Gmmother in the cold
As they Bbgo to shop for cigarettes,
Gm And she spends her last Bbdollar
On a bottle of Fvodka Cfor toGmnight. F
[Chorus]
And I Bbguess it Fstruck a nerve, Gm
Like I Fhad to Csquint my Gmeyes,
You can Fnever get Gmout of the line of Fsight. C
Like a Bbbarren Fwinter day Gm
Or a Fpatch of Cunburned Gmgreen,
Like a tragic Freal Gmdream, D
I Ebguess it Fstruck a Gmnerve. Bb
Gm Bb Gm Bb F C
[Verse 2]
Gm Every day I wanBbder in negative dispoGmsition
As I'm bomBbbarded by superlatives,
Gm Realizing Bbvery well that FI am not alone. C
Gm Introverted, I lookBb to tomorrow for salGmvation,
But I'm Bbthinking altruistically
Gm And a wave of overBbwhelming doubt
FTurnsme Cto stone. Gm F
[Chorus]
And I Bbguess it Fstruck a nerve, Gm
Sent a Fmurmur Cthrough my heart, Gm
We just Fhaven't got Gmtime to crack the Fmaze. C
Like a Bbmagic Fspeeding clock Gm
Or a Fcancer Cin our cells, Gm
A collision Fin the Gmdark, D
I Ebguess it Fstruck a Gmnerve. Bb Gm Bb
One, two!

[Bridge]
F C Gm I EbtryF to close my Geyes,
But EbI cannot igFnore the stimuGli.
If there's a Ebpurpose for us all, F
It remains a Gsecret to me,
Don't Ebask me to Fjustify my Dlife.
[Chorus]
And I Bbguess it Fstruck a nerve, Gm
Like I Fhad to Csquint my Gmeyes,
You can Fnever get Gmout of the line of Fsight. C
Like a Bbmagic Fspeeding clock Gm
Or a Fcancer Cin our cells, Gm
A collision Fin the Gmdark, D
I Ebguess it Fstruck a Gnerve. Bb
