E Asus2 Bsus4 And I'm broke, like a bad joke Somebody's uncle told E Asus2 Bsus4 At a wedding reception in nineteen seventy-two E Asus2 Bsus4 Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair E Asus2 Bsus4 Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed (Let all chords ring until chorus) E Asus2 Bsus4 And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home E Asus2 Bsus4 And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home E Asus2 Bsus4 And he thought about how everyone dies someday E Asus2 Bsus4 And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be E Asus2 Bsus4 And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat Chorus: C#m Asus2 F#m Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline Asus2 Bsus4 And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms C#m Asus2 And disassembles my despair Bsus2 It never took me anywhere // It never once bought me a drink
