[Verse 1]
[G]So long ago, I don’t remember [D]when
[F#7]That’s when they say I lost my only [Bm]friend[A]
[G]Well they said she died easy of a broken heart [D]disease
[F#7]As I listened through the cemetery [Bm]trees[A]
[Interlude]
[G] [D] [F#7] [Bm] [A]
[Verse 2]
[G]I seen the sun comin’ up at the funeral at [D]dawn
[F#7]The long broken arm of human [Bm]law[A]
[G]Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty [D]face
[F#7]I wondered how she hung around this [Bm]place[A]
[Pre-Chorus]
[G] [G] [F#7] [F#7]

[Verse 3]
[G]She said it’s cold, it feels like Independence [D]Day
[F#7]And I can’t break away from this [Bm]parade[A]
[G]But there’s got to be an opening somewhere here in front of [D]me
[F#7]Through this maze of ugliness and [Bm]greed[A]
[G]And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line [D]bridge
[F#7]Sayin’ all there’s good and nothingness is [Bm]dead[A]
[G]We will run until she’s out of breath
[D]She ran until there’s nothin’ left
[F#7]She hit the end it’s just her window [Bm]ledge[A]
[Pre-Chorus]
[G] [G] [F#7] [F#7]
Hey hey
[Chorus]
[G]Come on try a little

[G] [D] [F#7] [Bm] [A]
[Verse 4]
[G]Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up [D]truck
[F#7]I turn the engine, but the engine does not [Bm]turn[A]
[G]Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
[D]This place is always such a mess
[F#7]Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it [Bm]burn[A]
[G]I’m so alone, and I feel just like somebody [D]else
[F#7]Man I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the [Bm]same[A]
[G]But somewhere here between the city walls of dyin’ [D]dreams
[F#7]I think her death it must be killin’ [Bm]me[A]
[Pre-Chorus]
[G] [G] [F#7] [F#7]
Hey hey hey
[Chorus]
[G]Come on try a little
[D]Nothing is forever
[Em7]Got to be something better [A]than
In the middle
[G]Me and Cinderella
[D]Put it all together
[Em7]We can drive it home
[A] (A7sus4) [G] [D] [Em7] [A]
With one head[G]light
