Verse:
[A]So you drink your day away till the liquor in your mouth laughs,
[Gbm]And mirrors paint you beautiful like older photographs,
But we grow, [D]we grow old, even this won't last[A]last
[A]No one understands, no one cares at all
[Gbm]And they're tearing down our sacred places in the hall
[D]You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my [A]hand
[A]I love you like the kids love throwing [Gbm]bottles off the Bridge
And breaking [A]in to trade your fix for Ame[D]American shoes [A]
For A[Gbm]American shoes,
I've been d[A]dying to lie aw[D]awake in a room for two
[A]I'll[Gbm] come b[D]ack, I'll come back for y[A]ou [Gbm]my l[D]ove
