Title: Reconstruction Site Artist: The Weakerthans Album: Reconstruction site [Verse]
    F#         Bsus
I'm lost, I'm a frayed

C#
Rope tying down a leaky boat

       F#                   Bsus
To the roof of a car on the road in the dark

         C#
And it's snowing

       F#            Bsus
If I'm more, then it means less

C#
Last call for happiness

         F#                          Bsus
I'm your dress near the back of your knees

                 C#
And your slip is showing

      F#         Bsus      C#
I'm a float in a summer parade

                     F#        Bsus             C#
Up the street in the town that you were born in

       F#          Bsus        C#
With a girl at the top wearing tulle

                     F#
And a Miss Somewhere sash

Bsus               C#
Waving like the queen
[Chorus]
D#m                      B
Beauty's just another word

                         G#m
I'm never certain how to spell

                              F#
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on

D#m                    B
And throw away my misery

                             C#
It never meant that much to me
N.C. It never sent a Get Well card [Verse]
  F#           Bsus  C#
I broke like a bad   joke
Somebody's uncle told
     F#                   Bsus C#
At a wedding reception in 19   72

        F#                 Bsus                   C#
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair

F#                     Bsus                    C#
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed

        F#                 Bsus                    C#
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home

        F#                 Bsus                    C#
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home

       F#                Bsus              C#
And he thought about how everyone dies someday

    F#            Bsus                           C#
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be

    F#                 Bsus                 C#
And fell asleep in his brand-new winter coat
[Chorus]
D#m                   B
Buy me a shiny new machine

                          G#m
That runs on lies and gasoline

                           F#
And all those batteries we stole from smoke-alarms

D#m                    B
And disassembles my despair

                     C#
It never took me anywhere
N.C. It never once bought me a drink
