He was sitting on a park bench, somber, 
He didn't notice the train as it went by, it went by
And hes so lazy its crazy,
There must have been a yard sale in his mind, in his mind
Someone let the sea monkeys out, and I think it was him, yeah
Cause hes always lying lying lying, he cant stop lying to himself
and even all his friends


Nothing more than the 
A           G
Crumbs of a man
D/F#       G        A    G        D/F#  G
Motivation wasting away, wasting away
A                          G
Hes just so bored with the bends
D/F#             G        A          G      D/F#  G
The instigations merely a stain on a lazy parade

[Note: the D/F# in the chorus might actually be F#m,
it was hard to tell, but it sounds alright either way, so
take your pick]


V2
Standing on a park bench, arms spread
Dreaming of a day when he could fly, he could fly
And there was something about him
Everybody knew he could if he'd just try, if he'd try
But he doesn't go the park anymore, cause its too far to walk, yeah
Is he dead, no no no no, but he's sure trying to be,
his pulse is cement


I used to know him, I used to see him, I used to be him

Bm
Nothing but the
F#m    G    Bm
Crumbs of a man, nothing but the
F#m    G    Bm
Crumbs of a man
