[Intro]
E Asus2 Bsus4 x4
[Verse 1]
E
Well, I'm lost
Asus2
I'm afraid
Bsus4
Rope tying down a leaky boat
E Asus2 Bsus4
To the roof of a car on a road in the dark and it's snowing
E Asus2 Bsus4
If I'm more then it means less
Last call for happiness
E Asus2 Bsus4
I'm your dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing
E Asus2 Bsus4
I'm a float in a summer parade
E Asus2 Bsus4
Up the street in the town that you were born in
E Asus2 Bsus4
With a girl at the top wearing tulle
E Asus2 Bsus4
And a Miss Somewhere sash, waving like the queen
[Chorus]
C#m Asus2
Well beauty's just another word
F#m
I'm never certain how to spell
Asus2 Bsus4
Go tell the nurse to turn the T.V. back on
C#m Asus2
Throw away my misery
Bsus4
It never meant that much to me
//
It never sent a get-well card
[Solo]
E Asus2 Bsus4 x2
[Verse 2]
E Asus2 Bsus4
And I'm broke, like a bad joke
Somebody's uncle told
E Asus2 Bsus4
At a wedding reception in nineteen seventy-two
E Asus2 Bsus4
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
E Asus2 Bsus4
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
(Let all chords ring until chorus)
E Asus2 Bsus4
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
E Asus2 Bsus4
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
E Asus2 Bsus4
And he thought about how everyone dies someday
E Asus2 Bsus4
And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be
E Asus2 Bsus4
And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat
[Chorus]
C#m Asus2 F#m
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline
Asus2 Bsus4
And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
C#m Asus2
And disassembles my despair
Bsus2
It never took me anywhere
//
It never once bought me a drink
