Intro: E-Asus2-Bsus4
E
Well, I'm lost
Asus2
I'm afraid
Bsus4
Rope tying down a leaky boat
E Asus2 Bsus4
To the roof of a car on a road in the dark and it's snowing
E Asus2 Bsus4
If I'm more then it means less
Last call for happiness
E Asus2 Bsus4
I'm your dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing
E Asus2 Bsus4
I'm a float in a summer parade
E Asus2 Bsus4
Up the street in the town that you were born in
E Asus2 Bsus4
With a girl at the top wearing tulle
E Asus2 Bsus4
And a Miss Somewhere sash, waving like the queen
Chorus:
C#m Asus2
Well beauty's just another word
F#m
I'm never certain how to spell
Asus2 Bsus4
Go tell the nurse to turn the T.V . back on
C#m Asus2
Throw away my misery
Bsus4
It never meant that much to me
//
It never sent a get-well card.
E Asus2 Bsus4
And I'm broke, like a bad joke
Somebody's uncle told
E Asus2 Bsus4
At a wedding reception in nineteen seventy-two
E Asus2 Bsus4
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
E Asus2 Bsus4
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
(Let all chords ring until chorus)
E Asus2 Bsus4
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
E Asus2 Bsus4
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
E Asus2 Bsus4
And he thought about how everyone dies someday
E Asus2 Bsus4
And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be
E Asus2 Bsus4
And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat
Chorus:
C#m Asus2 F#m
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline
Asus2 Bsus4
And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
C#m Asus2
And disassembles my despair
Bsus2
It never took me anywhere
//
It never once bought me a drink

Intro x2
E A B B
Well I'm Lost, I'm afraid, a rope tying down a leaky boat
To the roof of car on a road in the dark and its snowing
If I'm more than a means less, last call for happiness
I'm the dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing
I'm a float in a summer parade
Up the street in a town that you were born in
With the girl at the top wearing tuelle, and miss somewhere
sash, waving like the queen.
C# A F#
Well beauty's just another word, I'm never certain how it's spelled
E
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on
C# A B
Throw away my misery, it never meant that much to me
B (then mute)
It never sent a get well card
E A B B x2
E A B
And I'm broke like a bad joke somebody's uncle told
At a wedding reception in Nineteen Seventy Two
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
And he thought about how everyone dies someday.
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be?
And he fell asleep in his brand new winter coat.
C# A F#
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline
E
and all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
C# A B
Disassembles my dispair, never took me anywhere
B B (mute!)
It never once bought me a drink
