Yeah everything's going pretty par for the course

Got back problems, grey hair, craving a Porsche

If you make it this far without killing yourself

You got it made though

Got a little place in Venice next to a lady with nine cats

Walk up Abbott Kinney watching business collapse

F                          C                               G
It all reminds me when you moved here from New York in '88

I wanna cover you up tonight

Give me one more chance to show you something real

You can run but you can't hide

There's a guy on Lincoln Boulevard where I get my medication

I'm pretty sure it's a habit

But I'll talk myself out of that one too, you know

You were always good at talking us out of trouble with the cops

Made everybody feel good about the fact that they were not

I just wish I could go back in time and find that perfect moment for you, y'know?
