D Dsus4 A Asus4
The dust from a four-day affair is now landing
A Asus4 D
All over the floor and your brown legs
Dsus4 A Asus4
The gold plated legs of my rival
A Asus4 G
Whose eyes had no reason to fall
D A G D A G
You led no celibate life, no skirt while chemicals danced in your head
D A G A
You stole the keys to this ride (and your fables... (pause) are falling
D
tonight
Because of your struggle to make them
Their taste for your past time is fading
Remember the girls in the middle are always the first to fall off
You'll learn to live like a mouse,
Searching the cracks in the floor to remember
All the dregs in the crowd you barely recall

Verse 1:
D Dsus4
The dust from your four-day affair,
A Asus4
Is now landing all over the floor
D Dsus4 A
And your brown legs, the gold plated legs of my rival,
Asus4 G
Whose eyes had no reason to fall
Chorus:
G D A G
You've led no celibate life,
G D A G
No skirt while chemicals danced on your head
G D A G
You stole keys to this ride and your fables,
A
Are falling tonight...
(Same as Verse 1)
Because of your struggle to make them,
Their tase for your past-time is fading
Remember the girls in the middle,
Are always the first to fall off
(Same as Chorus)
You've learned to live like a mouse,
Searching the cracks in the walls to remember
All of the dregs in the crowd,
You barely recall...
