_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C]
He's my friend, but he's no [G] friend to me _ _ _ [C]
Ask him why, he'll tell you [G] casually
_ _ _ [F]
Washed up, bitter, broke and [G] busted Backstabbed everyone he [C] trusted
Says he sees what no one [F] else can see _ And [G] if I had half his guts I'd want it
[F] To chase that fatalistic comet [C] And die young in the dark, that's [F] poetry
_ [Dm] That was not to be, no it was [B] not [D] for _ _ [F]
me He's _ [C] _ _ _ _
always sad, but I've never seen [G] him
cry _ If he comes to sure, he'll apologize
_ _ [F] Find his car, assess the damage [G] Still drunk, but he likes a challenge
[C] Holds on to his mind just like [F] kite Oh _ [G] good strong wind will keep you honest
[F] Fill you with some common knowledge [C] Things when we were young we never [F] tried
_ [Dm] Figured we had time, but such [Am] a long _ _ _ [C]
life [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ Money clips, alligator [G] shoes
_ _ One more dance [D] he's in that champagne [G] room _ _ [F] Where she moves like a chocolate fountain
[G] Pouring, spilling all around [C] him Makes him wonder what else she can [F] do
_ Now [G] how bittersweet is love's illusion [F] Feelings that cannot be proven
[C] Just trust me, you'll see my [F] aim is true _ _ [Dm] I've done this all for you
I [D] suffered long _ [C] for you So _ _ _ _ _ many times he tried [G] to play it straight
_ _ [C]
Worked and worked until his [G] body ached _ [F] But a brand new life can lose its [G] luster
Troubles tend to find each [C] other Call it luck or you can call [F] it fate
But _ _ [G]
either way it's how it [F] happened Not the life that you will imagine
[C] So just go out with a bang like [F] Hemingway And _ [Dm] some will say you're brave
[D] And some will say you're _ _
_ [C#] _ [C] in
_ _ _ [D#] _
