Joe Purdy – Dead End Kids (Guitar)

                            G
Set 'em up for the dead end kids

    C
The young and the restless, the kin

               G                        Em
And all of the houses that they grew up in

        D
Are now gone

G
She used to know me by name

       C
Like a child she would dance in the rain

    G                      Em
But now she just drinks cocaine because she can

      D                         Em
And I never thought I'd see the day

     C
When all of the paintings went gray

          Em
Like the flowers that lay on the graves

       G            D
Of the ones who die young

       G
Shed a tear for the ones who would hope

   C
To hang you with the shortest of rope

        G                         Em             D
Just as quick as they judge, they go to find the next

          G
See these breaks in the stones when they crack

  C
Reminds you of all that you lack

         G                                 Em
And your best friends will just turn their backs

             D
Because they can

       D                         Em
And I never thought I'd see the day

     C
When all of the paintings went gray

          Em
Like the flowers that lay on the graves

       G            D
Of the ones who die young

       G
Say a prayer for the ones like you

        C
Who are simple and honest and true

        G                         Em
When we spoke last night well you knew

              D
But you never showed

      G
And I know you ain't one to complain

               C
If you keep it hid, it would drive you insane

                                         Em
It's just so hard when there's no one to blame

         D
For the fall

          G
Yeah, and wishing can't make it so;

      C
If it could well I hope that you know

        Em
I would run through the fire and snow

             D
To bring you back

      D                         Em
And I never thought I'd see the day

     C
When all of the paintings went gray

          Em
Like the flowers that lay on the graves

       G            D
Of the ones who die young
