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
