[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
