Verse (Palm Muted) 

F# B7 C#7 
Well I'm Lost, I'm afraid, a rope tying down a leaky boat 
F# B7 C#7 
To the roof of car on a road in the dark and its snowing 
F# B7 C#7 
If I'm more than a means less, last call for happiness 
F# B7 C#7 
I'm the dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing 
F# B7 C#7 
I'm a float in a summer parade 
F# B7 C#7 
Up the street in a town that you were born in 
F# B7 C#7 
With the girl at the top wearing tool, and miss somewhere 
F# B7 C#7 
sash, waving like the queen. (medium pace slide)

Chorus Open Chords 

F# B7 C#7 
Well beauty's just another word, I'm never certain how it's spelled 
F# B7 C#7 
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on 
F# B7 C#7 
Throw away my misery, it never meant that much to me 
F# B7 C#7 
It never sent a get well card

Verse (2) 

F# B7 C#7 
And I'm broke like a bad joke somebody's uncle told 
F# B7 C#7 
At a wedding reception in Nineteen Seventy Two 
F# B7 C#7 
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair 
F# B7 C#7 
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed 
F# B7 C#7 
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home 
F# B7 C#7 
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home 
F# B7 C#7 
And he thought about how everyone dies someday. 
F# B7 C#7 
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be? 
F# B7 C#7 
And he fell asleep in his brand new winter coat.

F# B7 C#7 
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline 
F# B7 C#7 
and all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms 
F# B7 C#7 
Disassembles my dispair, never took me anywhere 
F# B7 C#7 
It never once bought me a drink
