Verse 1
D 
You say that love is everything
G 
Then you turn around and sing about
Em 
all your painful moments
D 
How in the end  they didn't care
G 
for the memories you shared
Em 
Your despair and inner torment
D 
Yeah well wait a  minute, friend,
G 
stop before you begin
A 
G 
C 
We've heard this one be fore
G 
D 
So you're on a downward slide,
G 
but you've seen the other side
D 
You can't ask for more
The end of summer's in
the air
G 
Do you remember when you cared about
C 
G 
Em 
friends and change of season
D 
And a guitar was in your hands,
G 
and you played in twenty bands
Em 
And you never needed no reason
D 
Yeah well stop a minute there,
G 
why should anyone else care?
A 
C 
They've all got holes to plug
D 
She's a shovel in your hands,
G 
she's a  pail of sand

Verse 2
D 
You say you gave it all you could and
G 
did everything you should
C 
Em 
And you still wound up defeated
D 
And all the efforts inbetween
G 
don't amount to anything
C 
Em 
Just old mistakes repeated
D 
And it's probably pretty true but
G 
what else you got to do?
A 
C 
We've all got time to kill
D 
She's the T.V. ad that lied,
G 
the drug you hadn't tried
D 
She was a perfect little pill

Interlude 2

Verse 3

I've seen your bright eyes darken

Eyes that always shone

So bright I had to close my own

Verse 4
You say you can't live in the past
G 
But you're driving there so fast
C 
G 
Em 
Headlights aimed for drinking
D 
You'll say "I knew it all along",
G 
as the bars they pass along
Em 
With the ground below you sinking
D 
Yeah so stop for three or four,
G 
they won't card you at the door
A 
C 
They've seen you there before
D 
It's not your favorite place to drink,
G 
but a place to stop and think
D 
Maybe you can't ask for more
Sputtering and spent and wonder
G 
ing where it all went:
C 
Em 
Your dreams and things you wanted
D 
You built a space for them inside where
G 
the walls  are made with pride
C 
Em 
Empty, cold and haunted
D 
Yeah but who am I to judge
G 
or negotiate your grudge
A 
G 
I should keep my damn mouth closed
D 
You should call them with the news,
G 
D 
G 
tell them they're the one who's screwed
D 
G 
C 
Em 
You just might be right, who knows?
