Intro:
G, C, D, G
G C D G
Trash day in Beverly Hills,
C D G
All the sad little mommas with their happy little pills,
C D G
That flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools,
C D G
While the Mexican nannies take the children to school.
Am D
There's so much to be and nothing to do,
C D G C D G
How did it ever end up that way.

G C D G
Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee,
C D G
No-one can smell this religion but me.
C D G
I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men,
C D G
That drink, smoke and fuck like the world's gonna end.
Am D
And Sunday will come and we'll all just pretend
C D G C D G
That it never really happened that way,
C D G
happened that way,
C D G
happened that way,
C D G
happened that way.
C G
I can tell a lie by the way that you walk,
C G
and I can hear the confessions in the way you talk,
C G D Em
and all the little actions that give yourself away,
A C (riff)
So lie still don't talk, don't breathe, I'll be over soon.
G C D G
Trash day in Atlanta GA,
C D G
I can hear the sanitary trucks from two miles away.
C D G
I've said everything that this town has to say,
C D G
Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away.
Am D
Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade,
C D G C D G
But I wish it didn't happen that way,
C D G
happen that way,
C D G
happen that way,
C D G
happen that way.
G C D G
Ahhh...
