We're all just trying to play our roles

In a play that runs ad nauseum

It's the only way to feel alive
                 Dm                  F
It's the closest thing to being born again
         G                        Cmaj7
And when baby comes it's job well done
            B*                        F/A
Roll in the hay, or a roll around the sun

         B*               F/A
And this world is falling in
      G                   Am
    Dm                        F
Our words have formed a death sentence
      G                      Cmaj7
And I wish that we had never talked
