Verse 1
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
I don't know what to say about these days
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
I'm seeing people changing in the strangest ways
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4
Even in the richer neighborhoods
Bbmaj7
People don't know when they've got it good
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
They've got the envy, and they've got it bad
Instrumental Fill
Here's one way to play that little fill that comes after some verses:
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
e|------0----------|-0-------3-------|-----0---------|---------------| B|------------3----|-----------------|-----1---------|---------------| G|-----------------|-----------------|-----2---------|---------------| D|----------------|------------------|---------------|---------------| A|-3----3-----2----|-0---------------|---------------|-----------0h2-| E|-----------------|---------3-------|-1-------------|---------------|

And another way:
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
e|-------------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------| B|--------5-----3----|-5-------8-------|-----1---------|--------------| G|-------------------|-----------------|-----0---------|--------------| D|--------7-----5----|-7-------10------|--3------------|--------------| A|-(3)----7-----5----|-7-------10------|-(3)-----------|--------------| E|-------------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------|

The normal verse chords continue underneath, so you can also just continue to play those instead.

Verse 2
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
Running up and down Tinsel Town with the fire inside of me
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
My planet's all in retrograde, the best of all my plans got laid
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4
I made my breaks, and some mistakes
Bbmaj7
Just not the ones people think I made

F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
It's so hard keeping track of what's gone wrong
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
The covenant unravels, and the news just rolls along
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
I could feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4
It's hard to say which did more ill
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7
Citizens United or the Gulf oil spill
Chorus

F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
It's never been that hard to buy a gun
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4 Bbmaj7
Now they'll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4
The seeds of trage- dy are there
Bbmaj7
In what we feel we have the right to bear
F Cadd11 Dm7 Csus4
To watch our children come to harm

There in the safety of our arms

But it's the long way a- round
