Verse: 
D                   Dsus4   D 
So Richard Oaks gave  me a call 
                    Bm  A       G 
From San Francisco late in the fall 
                    D   Dsus4 D 
He said it's going down 

D 
He said we're gonna take the island 
     Dsus4 D         Dsus2      D 
As a monument to the smallpox blankets  
        Bm 
And the bureaucrats 
 A                    G 
All you got to do is come along 
 G                 D     Dsus4 D 
You catch a bus tomorrow 

           G 
And if we die there  
                             D    Dsus4 D 
Well at least we'll make a choice 
          G 
If we're fine there 
                 A   Asus2 A  Asus2 
We can tell the boys 


Chorus: 
        A 
That a line in the sand 
       G                    D Dsus4 D 
Donâ??t matter you donâ??t care  
        A                    G 
That a bird in the hand is worthless  
             D     Dsus4  D 
You're too scared

So clear my name and clear my throat

I need a place to stand 

        D                             Dsus2 
I hear sirens down the street from the 3rd shift bar 
          D                    Bm           A 
I'm gonna  park my car in the painted off place  
           G 
Where the bikers park  
                  D   Dsus4  D 
See what happens then

Well at least I made a choice

If I'm fine here just please tell the boys

Verse: 
     D 
My friends keep calling 
  Dsus2      D 
I donâ??t pick up 
       D          
I got nothing to say  
        Bm         A          G 
That I canâ??t just make up anyway 
                          D   Dsus4  D 
I've got all this shit to do 

  D                          A Asus4 
I've turned you off on the radio 
   D                       Bm    A 
I turn around and it's in a TV show  
             G 
I turn that off too 
                   D       Dsus4  D 
I remember when I knew you

And if I'm fine here

Well I made my choice
