Wallflowers Bringing Down the Horse (1996) [Intro] Dsus4 N.C. G D F#7 Bm A G D F#7 Bm A [Verse 1]
G                      D
So long ago, I don't remember when

       F#7                          Bm     A
That's when they say I lost my only friend

          G                       D
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

     F#7                           Bm    A
As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Interlude] G D F#7 Bm A [Verse 2]
           G                     D               
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn

    F#7                      Bm  A
The long broken arm of human law

       G                              D
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face

  F#7                               Bm    A
I wondered how she hung around this place
[Pre-Chorus]
G G F#7 F#7
         Hey 
[Chorus]
G
   Come on try a little

D
   Nothing is forever

Em7                    A
   Got to be something better than
In the middle
G
   Me & Cinderella

D
   Put it all together

   Em7              A   A7sus4
   We can drive it home

                G
   With one headlight
[Instrumental] (G) D F#7 Bm A [Verse 3]
              G
She said it's cold

                  D
It feels like Independence Day

      F#7                          Bm   A
And I can't break away from this parade

            G
But there's got to be an opening

D
Somewhere here in front of me

F#7                               Bm    A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed

               G
And I seen the sun up ahead

       D
At the county line bridge

       F#7                                 Bm   A
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead

      G
We'll run until she's out of breath

    D
She ran until there's nothin' left

    F#7                              Bm    A
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
G G F#7 F#7
         Hey hey
[Chorus]
G
   Come on try a little

D
   Nothing is forever

Em7                    A
   Got to be something better than
In the middle
G
   Me & Cinderella

D
   Put it all together

   Em7              A   A7sus4
   We can drive it home

                G
   With one headlight
[Instrumental] (G) D F#7 Bm A G D F#7 Bm A [Verse 4]
                   G
Well this place is old

                     D
It feels just like a beat up truck

           F#7                            Bm   A
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn

                  G                                       
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes

     D
This place is always such a mess

    F#7                                Bm   A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

        G                              D
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

             F#7                             Bm   A
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same

     G                            D           
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams

  F#7                                Bm  A
I think her death it must be killin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
G G F#7     F#7
    Hey hey hey
[Chorus]
G
   Come on try a little

D
   Nothing is forever

Em7                    A
   Got to be something better than
In the middle
G
   Me & Cinderella

D
   Put it all together

Em7
   We can drive it home

A     (A7sus4)  G D Em7 A
   With one headlight
[Outro]
G D Em7 A
