Am Dm
I'm

…on a straight line when a man comes 'round

        E               Am   Dm
and he got lines in the suit

        E            (Am)
coming out to make us moot

Am Dm
I'm…

        E          Am            Dm
moving on now if I like it or not

I'm taking it off and throwing it out

the picture is about what could have been easier

the picture is coming around now
[Chorus]
                Dm         F
how come I feel so washed up

        G                 A
at such a – such a tender age now

how come I feel so washed up

      G                      A

it could have been easier

at such a - such a tender age

Am Dm
I'm

      E             Am            Dm
listening to the comforting sound

                E                  Am   Dm
of some kind of work being done outside

                    E                   (Am)
of sounds from next door the walls don't hide

Am Dm
I'm

      E          Am              Dm
listening to "Mountain to Sound"

         E                 Am   Dm
and the way it's panned is cool

            E               Am  Dm
but when I get back home to you

                   E                       A
there's got to be something more than that too

            Dm                 A
has two cigarettes and back to work

she eats right but hurts

                                Dm        F
and she says it could have been good by now

         G                      A
it could have been more than a wage yeah
[Chorus]
                   Dm         F
how come she feels so washed up

        G               A
at such a such a tender age now

                   Dm  F
it could have been easier

         G                      A
it could have been more than a wage

                   Dm         F
how come she feels so washed up

        G        A
at such a tender age

Am Dm
I'm…

           E             Am               Dm
on a straight line and a man comes around

       E             Am Dm
and I got nowhere to go

                    E                Am
come back and tell something I don't know
