Capo 1st Fret

      D5            A5
He gets close, but I choke
          F#5             B5
Take your shit, take your clothes
        A5         G5
And get out of my home
              A5
I want you to love me
              G5
Or I want you long gone
                          A5
You say your real name is John

Hey, thanks John

Go sings songs, go rock on

Roll your crew on down the road

To the next sold out show

Think you can get up above me?

Well, I want you to know


         G5                A5
You're a figure of fun to everyone
            F#5          B5      A5      G5
Beneath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
                    A5
They wish they were you
                     G5
Like I wish you were mine
       A5
What a dumb thing to do


          G5       A5            F#5                   B5   A5
How can I shout goodbye when god knows I just want to
G5                   D5             A5
Make this white lie big enough to climb inside
G5
With you

Another day, lost and gone

Clipping pages from the news for the senator's son

Well, he just strolls through the lobby

And glad hands everyone

Another day, tossed and done

I go home

Take off clothes

Smoke a bowl

Watched a whole TV movie

I was supposed to be writing

The most beautiful poems

And completely revealing

Divine mysteries up close

I can't say that I'm feeling all that much at all

At 27 years old


G5                                A5                        F#5  B5     A5
I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire at the only decent bar in 
G5
town
               A5
And they drink MGD's
                      G5
And they wish they had me
                  A5
Like I wish I had fire
                  G5
What a sad way to be
                    A5 
What a girl who got tired


G5                A5            F#5      B5   A5
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
        G5           D5                  A5
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?
                    G5
Did she feel alive? Her head all light
