Key: F# major

Intro 1

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

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

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

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

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