Key: E
Introduction:
E
Well, I'm lost
A2
I'm afraid
B4
Rope tying down a leaky boat
E A2 B4
To the roof of a car on a road in the dark and it's snowing
E A2 B4
If I'm more then it means less
Last call for happiness
E A2 B4
I'm your dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing
E A2 B4
I'm a float in a summer parade
E A2 B4
Up the street in the town that you were born in
E A2 B4
With a girl at the top wearing tulle
E A2 B4
And a Miss Somewhere sash, waving like the queen
C#m A2
Well beauty's just another word
F#m
I'm never certain how to spell
C#m A2
Throw away my misery
B4
It never meant that much to me
//
E A2 B4
And I'm broke, like a bad joke
Somebody's uncle told
E A2 B4
At a wedding reception in nineteen seventy-two
E A2 B4
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
E A2 B4
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
(Let all chords ring until Chorus)
E A2 B4
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
E A2 B4
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
E A2 B4
And he thought about how everyone dies someday
E A2 B4
And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be
E A2 B4
And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat
C#m A2 F#m
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline
A2 B4
And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
C#m A2
And disassembles my despair
B2
It never took me anywhere
