[G] [F#] [A]
[G] So long ago [D] I don't remember when, [F#] it's when they say I lost my [B] only [A] friend.
[G] They said she died easy [D] of a broken heart disease, [F#] as I listened through the cemetery [B] tree.
[G]
[D] [F#] [B] I [G] seen the sun coming up at the [A] funeral at [F#] dawn, the long broken arm [B] of human law.
Now [G] it always seemed [D] such a way she always had a pretty [F#] face, I wonder why she hung around [B] this place.
[G]
[F#] Hey,
[G] come on child [A] little, nothing [Em] is forever, got to be [A] something better than in the [G] middle.

[A] She said [G] it's cold, feels [D] like Independence Day, [F#] and I can't break away [B] from this parade.
[G] Well there's got to be [D] an opening somewhere here in front [F#] of me, through this maze of ugliness and greed.
[E] I seen [G] the sun overhead [D] at the county line [F#] bridge, saying all is good [A] and nothingness is dead.
[G] We were running till we're out of [D] breath, she ran until there's [E] nothing left, [F#] she hit the edge, it's just [B] a window ledge.

[D] [F#]
[B] [G] This place is old, it feels [D] just like a beat up [A] truck, I [F#] turn the engine but the [B] engine doesn't turn.
It [G] smells of cheap wine and [E] cigarettes, [D] this place is always such a [F#] mess, sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn.
[G] I'm so alone, I feel just [D] like somebody else, man I [F#] ain't changed, but I know [B] I ain't the same.
[G] Somewhere here in [E] front of me, the city walls are dying [F#] dreams, I think of death, it must be [B] killing me.
