[Verse 1]
G                C
The constitution of this town is written on
G                     C
Eviction notices and mountains of suburban laws
G                         C
The grocery has been blockaded by the elderly
G                       C
Again, it's been a long time since that last happened

[Chorus]
G         E                  C
Don't go, off to your office again
G                   E                        C                           D
Don't go, 'cause my life is a mess and you're still only half dressed
D                                G
And you're ment to be here with me
D                            G
You're ment to be here with me

[Verse 2]
G                C
The Independence Day parade's been going on
G                            C
For half a month now and the trail of rubble's getting long
G                     C
Oh father open up the church the gluttons have things
G                            C
To confess, it's been a fine year perhaps the best

[Chorus]
G         E                 C
Don't go, off to your office again
G                      E                      C                     D
Don't go, 'cause your life is a mess and I'm still only half dressed
D                                G
And you're ment to be here with me

[Outro]
D                               G
And you're ment to be here with me
D                         G
And you're ment to be here
