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
