Intro: A5  C#5

A5                   C#5
Is it all so very simple
     D5            E5
And horribly complex?
 B5                 E5
You suffer in a 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
B5                    E5
So 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
Nights I'd often watch you
D5                  E5
Float across the grounds
B5           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
B5                  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          B5           D5   ( D5   E5 )
Where you play     in the street at night
F#5   E5          B5     D5  ( D5   E5 )
Blown like a broken kite
F#5   E5                B5          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 ) (2x)

     A5             C#5
My mother says your dirty
         D5              E5
They're gonna find you dead
B5              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
B5             E5
Both the over flowing cup
           A5            D5
And the painful lack thereof
              A5      D5   E5
You got the heart of a dove

           F#5   E5          B5            D5  ( D5   E5 )
But,  you play     in the street at night
F#5   E5        B5       D5    ( D5   E5 )
Blown like a broken kite
F#5   E5                B5          D5  ( D5   E5 )
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#5         E5                B5        D5     ( D5   E5 )
You'll 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

( B5 E5 ) (4x)

           F#5   E5             B5           D5  ( D5   E5 )
         you play     in the street at night
F#5   E5        B5       D5  ( D5   E5 )
Blown like a broken kite
F#5   E5                B5          D5  ( D5   E5 )
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#5              E5            B5       D5       ( D5   E5 )
You'll 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
