[Intro]
E  Asus2  Bsus4    x4

[Verse 1]
          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

[Solo]
E  Asus2  Bsus4    x2

[Verse 2]
        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
