Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Well, I'm
G 
lost, I'm afraid
A 
Rope tying down a leaky boat
D 
G 
To the roof of a car on the road
in the dark
A 
And it's snowing
D 
G 
If I'm more, then it means less
A 
Last call for happiness
D 
I'm your dress near the back of your knees
G 
A 
And your slip is showing
D 
G 
A 
I'm a float in a summer parade
D 
Up the street in the town that
G 
A 
you were born in
D 
G 
A 
With a girl at the top wearing tulle
D 
And a Miss Somewhere sash
G 
Waving like the queen
A

Verse 2
Bm 
Beauty's just another word
G 
I'm never certain how to spell
Em 
Go tell the nurse to turn
D 
Bm 
the TV back on
And throw away my misery
G 
It never meant that much to me
A 
It never sent a Get Well card
G 
D 
G 
A 
D 
G 

Verse 3
A 
D 
And I broke,
G 
A 
like a bad joke somebody's uncle told
D 
G 
A 
At a wedding reception in 1972
D 
G 
Where a little boy under a table
A 
with cake in his hair
D 
G 
Stared at the grown-up feet feet
A 
as they danced and swayed

Verse 4
D 
G 
And his father laughed and talked
D 
on the long ride home
G 
And his mother laughed and talked
A 
on the long ride home
D 
And he thought about how
G 
A 
everyone dies someday
D 
G 
And when tomorrow gets here,
A 
where will yesterday be?
D 
And fell asleep in his brand
G 
A 
new winter coat

Verse 5
Bm 
Buy me a shiny new machine
G 
Em 
That runs on lies and gasoline
And all those batteries we stole
D 
Bm 
from smoke alarms
And disassembles my despair
G 
It never took me anywhere
A 
It never once bought me a drink
