Back of a Truck Regina Spektor
[D]She lifted the monument in her m[A]onumental arms
She was th[C]e mother superior with her[G] carry-on luggage charms
She was [D]this androgynous powder [A]nosed girl next door
She had e[C]aten her dog and she was [G]back for more
[A#]Back for m[D]ore
[A#]Back for m[D]o-ore
[A#]Oh, she wa[D]s back for more
Some m[G]ore? yes plea[A]se, some m[D]ore
[D]Her gym teacher thought himself a [A]sweat sock demi god
Her geran[C]iums thought themselves an ali[G]en pod
[D]Her front porch gave way beneath the [A]classified weight
[C]And when the ambulance came they said it's m[G]uch too late
[A#]Oh, it's much too la[D]te
[A#]Oh, it's much too, m[D]uch too late
[A#]Oh, it's much too la[D]te
[G]How late? Very la[A]te, too la[D]te
Now the peopl[D]e of New Guinea and the [A]people of LA
Have been p[C]en pals for years cause they b[G]oth hate ballet
Only the panda[D]s and bears have made a cl[A]ean getaway
But the news[C] bulletin claims it's gon[G]na be ok
Now Miss L[D]ucy had a sweatshop where the[A] immigrants worked
Problem [C]was they all turned to pumpkins at the twel[G]ve o'clock stroke
Promptly confis[D]cated by police [A]precinct number X
That was wh[C]en the alien geraniums d[G]emanded the facts

[A#]No violenc[D]e of course
[A#]No violenc[D]e, no violence, of course
[A#]Hey, hey n[D]o violence, of course
[G]Off course? Why ye[A]s, of co[D]urse
[D]Here the story gets hazy and the [A]hair gets too long
[C]The TV gets quiet as we hear[G] a real bad song
[D]The mothers get whiskey and the girl[A]friends get tongue
And there'[C]s a back of a truck selling [G]smoke free lungs
And there'[D]s a back of a truck selling al[A]ien pods
And there'[C]s a back of a truck selling g[G]ame show hosts
And there'[D]s a back of a truck selling the s[A]ouls of the dead
And there'[C]s a back of a truck selling cr[G]umb free bread
And there'[D]s a back of a truck selling the b[A]ack of a car
And there'[C]s a back of a car selling ro[G]adway maps
And there [D]are roadway maps selling the ba[A]ck of a head
[C]Hey, how much for that back of a head, man?
[G]Hey wait a minute, hey wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
that's m[D]y back of a he[A]ad, hey you can't sell that man
that's m[C]y back of a hea[G]d
Hey sell it back to me man
Sell it back to me
[D] [A] [C] [G]
It's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-m-mine
[D]She lifted the monument in her [A]monumental arms
She was the m[C]other superior with her [G]carry-on luggage charms
[D]She was this androgynous p[A]owder nosed girl next door
She had ea[C]ten her dog and she was [G]back for more
