[Intro]
G Dm7 (x6)
[Verse 1]
G Bm
If funny looks don't get you down
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
You could get on in this town
G Bm
The drivers crawl along the curb
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7
The thought of walking's quite absurd
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em7 D6
The dumbest thing I've ever heard
[Chorus]
Am7 Gmaj7
Checking in and checking out
Em D Dm C A7
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout?
G Dm7 G Dm7
[Verse 2]
G Bm
The living church must move along
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
The Carmelites could use a song
G Bm
A blessing Father if you please
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7
Help the hopeless in their need
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em7 D6
They don't need this kind of sleaze
[Chorus]
Am7 Gmaj7
Checking in and checking out
Em D Dm C A7
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout?
G Dm7 (x4)
[Bridge]
C7
Here's a man whose run the marathon
C7 G Dm7 G Dm7
Sad and lonely now it's been and gone
C7
Let me check upon my family
C7
I wonder, do they still remember me
Bb Eb G C/D
I'm on the run, on the fun run
[Verse 3]
G Bm
Gifted artists need respect
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
True collectors must collect
G Bm
There behind those rusty gates
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7
Dodgy sculptured license plates
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em7 D6
The gifted sit around and wait
[Chorus]
Am7 Gmaj7
Checking in and checking out
Em D Dm C A7
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout?
