[Intro]
Fmaj7 C E E7 Am Gadd11 x3
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C So long ago, I don't remember when E E7 Am Gadd11 That's when they say I lost my only friend Fmaj7 C Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease E E7 Am Gadd11 As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Break]
Fmaj7 C E E7 Am Gadd11
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn E E7 Am Gadd11 The long broken arm of human law Fmaj7 C Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face E E7 Am Gadd11 I wondered how she hung around this place
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 E E7 Hey...
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Come on try a little, nothing is forever Dm/A Gadd11 Got to be something better than in the middle Fmaj7 C Me and Cinderella, put it all together Dm/A Gadd11 Fmaj7 C E E7 Am Gadd11 We can drive it home... with one headlight
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 C She said it's cold, it feels like Independence Day E E7 Am Gadd11 And I can't break away from this parade Fmaj7 C But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me E E7 Am Gadd11 Through this maze of ugliness and greed
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7 C And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge E E7 Am Gadd11 Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead Fmaj7 C We'll run until she's out of breath, She ran until there's nothin' left E E7 Am Gadd11 She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 E E7 Hey hey
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Come on try a little, nothing is forever Dm/A Gadd11 Got to be something better than in the middle Fmaj7 C Me and Cinderella, put it all together Dm/A Gadd11 Fmaj7 C E E7 Am Gadd11 We can drive it home... with one headlight
[Break]
Fmaj7 C E E7 Am Gadd11
[Verse 5]
Fmaj7 C Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck E E7 Am Gadd11 I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Fmaj7 C Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes, this place is always such a mess E E7 Am Gadd11 Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
[Verse 6]
Fmaj7 C I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else E E7 Am Gadd11 Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same Fmaj7 C But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams E E7 Am I think of death it must be killin'...
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 E E7 ...me Hey hey hey...
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Come on try a little, nothing is forever Dm/A Gadd11 Got to be something better than in the middle Fmaj7 C Me and Cinderella, put it all together Dm/A Gadd11 Fmaj7 C Dm/A Gadd11 We can drive it home... with one headlight
[Outro]
Fmaj7 C Dm/A Gadd11 x2
Fmaj7 C Dm/A C
