A few notes before we begin:
1. This is basically how the song goes.
2. You might want to use barred chords.
3. The chords used are G#, F, Eb, C#, Bb
4. Where I play them on the neck might not be where they are played
in the recording. For example, I play C# like x 4 6 6 6 x,
but TPC might play 9 11 11 10 9 9
5. Interpret this as you want, have fun and play whichever style you like.

version 3
F
F Am G C
With a heart-attack on your plane
Am G Am F
You were looking back on your days
F Am G C
How you spent them all in a blur
Am G Am F
When they asked if you were for sure
F Am G C
Let the sugar melt down your throat
Am G Am F
Cos you know it's sweet getting old
F Am G C
With a lollipop and a rose
Am G Am F
Let the hospital be your home
G Am C F
Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
G Am C F
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
F Am G C
In the liner notes at the end
Am G Am F
Some familiar names in tiny print
F Am G C
On the cover page of the year
Am G Am F
Grainy photographs, greasy hair
G Am C F
But it's noon o'clock and you're still asleep
G Am C F
And your coffee's cold, your coffee's icy
G Am C F
Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
G Am C F
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
F x3
C x3
Cos facts are facts (?)
F Am G C
Classic Hollywood as a kid
Am G Am F
With the volume up all the way
F Am G C
Now you do the same and you're right
Am G Am F
Things are better in black and white
G Am C F
But there's another girl in another day
G Am C F
And your favourite foods still taste the same
G Am C F
Cos your knees are scratched and your eyes are black
G Am C F
Put a plaster there and I'll sign your cast
G Am C F
We're the best and the brightest, turn the television on
G Am C F
Have your seatbelts strapped and your helmets on!
G Am C F x2
End on F
