Intro
A5  C#5 x 4

A5                   C#5
Is it all so very simple
     D5           E5
And horribly complex
 D5                    E5
You're suffering the thimble
              A5             D5
And there's nothing coming next

      A5                  C#5
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
      D5               A5
Her voice a cutting drone
D5                    E5
They're creeping out, you pass the bar
        A5              D5
Your father's second home
             A5       D5 - E5
That leaves you on your own

A5                  C#5
At nights I'd often watch you
D5                  E5
Float across the ground
D5           E5
Out the gate to the motorway
      A5                D5
What secrets have you found?

A5               C#5
You had to know I wanted
D5                   A5
Something from you then
D5                  E5
Too young to know just what it was
           A5            D5
Something more than a friend
         A5      D5 - E5
Is that you at the end


           F#5 - E5          D5             ( D5 - E5 )
Well, you play     in the street at night
F#5 - E5           D5          ( D5 - E5 )
You blow like a broken kite
F#5 - E5                D5           ( D5 - E5 )
My girl, you're giving up the fight
     A5           C#5        G5
Are you gonna let these Americans
             E5
Put another dent in your life?


A5  C#5 x2


     A5             C#5
My mother says your dirty
         D5              E5
They're gonna find you dead
D5              E5
But have you got that final chapter
A5                D5
Written in your head

       A5            C#5
Cause every single story
      D5           A5
Is a story about love
D5             E5
Both the overflowing cup
           A5            D5
And the painful lack thereof
              A5      D5 - E5
You got the heart of a dove


           F#5 - E5          D5             ( D5 - E5 )
But,  you play     in the street at night
F#5 - E5           D5          ( D5 - E5 )
You blow like a broken kite
F#5 - E5                D5           ( D5 - E5 )
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#5         E5               D5           ( D5 - E5 )
You have to lose all them childish notions
     A5           C#5        G5
If you're gonna let these American boys
             E5
Put another dent in your life

Instrumental break
B5  D5  E5 D5 x4


           F#5 - E5          D5             ( D5 - E5 )
         you play     in the street at night
F#5 - E5           D5          ( D5 - E5 )
You blow like a broken kite
F#5 - E5                D5           ( D5 - E5 )
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#5         E5               D5            ( D5 - E5 )
You have to lose all them childish notions
     A5           C#5        G5
Or you're gonna let these Americans
             E5
Put another dent in your life
