Introduction: Em C G Em C G
Em C
Children, Broadripple is burning
G
And the girls are gettin' sick
Em C
Of huffin' glue up in the bathroom
G
While your boyfriends pick up chicks
Em
And darling I'm lost
C G
I heard you whispering that night in fountain square
Em C G
The trash filled streets made me wish we were heading home.
Em C
And there was love inside the basement
G
Where that woman used to lie
Em C
In a sleeping bag we shared
G
Upon the floor almost every night
Em
And darling I'm drunk
C G
Everything that I have loved is turned to stone
Em C G
So pack your bag and come back home
Em
And I'm wasted
C
You can taste it
G G/F# Em
Don't look at me that way
C Em
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
C G/F# Em
I will haunt you like a ghost
Em C
If my woman was a fire
G
She'd burn out before I wake
Em C
And be replaced by pints of whiskey
G
Cigarettes, and outer space
Em
If somebody moves
C G
everything you thought you had will go to shit
Em C G
We've got a lot, don't ever forget that
Em C
And I wrote this on an airplane
G
Where the people looked like eggs
Em C
And when a woman that you loved was gone
G
She was bombing east Japan
Em
And don't fucking move
C G
'Cause everything you thought you have will go to shit
Em C G
We've got a lot, don't you dare to forget that.
Em
And I'm wasted
C
You can taste it
G G/F# Em
Don't look at me that way
C Em
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
C G/F# Em
I will haunt you like a ghost
Em
And I'm wasted
C
You can taste it
G G/F# Em
Don't look at me that way
C Em
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
C G/F# Em
I will haunt you like a ghost
