_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [G#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm gonna wreck myself in the shade of the three-way. _ _ _
_ Gonna pack my lunch and go _ _ to [C#] _ work each [B] day. _
Maybe that morning _ [B] _ _
[F#] I'll go home with my body down. _
One [F#] morning light, _ [C#] I get [B] up in the morning, _ [G#m] _ come in, say it [B] again, _ [G#m] I'm [F#] done.
_ I wonder what became of the changes we waited [B] for love to make.
_ _ But they only made a flip for me, of some [C#] beautiful way.
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] I've been aware of the time going [B] by, _ facing the end, it's going to go now.
_ _ But the new morning light comes streaming [C#] in, get up and [B] say it again, [G#] _
_ [F#] _ _ yeah.
[B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ It's [C#] been a long evening, love, [B] I struggle for [C#m] the league [F] tonight.
Well, [A#] _
_ _ the sirens [F#] sing, church bells ring, [D#m] _ chuffing clowns of stinger.
_ [B] Brother, the rooster, the [F#] screamer, the fireman, [A#] the sleep at the traffic [D#m] light. _
_ [G#] The children's son, they wait for the ice [Fm] cream vendor.
_ _ [D#] _ _ [C#]
Out [B] into the cold, the [C#] east, _ strolls the [F#] pretender. _ _ _ _ _
[B] He knows it all, it was hopes and [C#] dreams, _ beginning and [D#] end.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[B] _ I'm a lover, oh, I'm a lover, yes, they were good [F#] nights.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Living _ nothing but the true [D#m] love and fight.
_ _ _ [D] And tear [F#] at the world, _ _ [B] _ while the ships, [A#m] bearing their [D#m] dreams, sail [F#] on a sigh.
[C#] _ _ _ _ I'm [F#] gonna find myself a girl, who can show me what [B]
laughter means.
_ _ _ [F#] And we're feeling the missing color in each [C#] other's made-by-number [B] good.
_ [F#] I look for that dollar, glass [B] is on, _ and [F#] we'll make love until our [B] strength is gone.
The [F#] new morning light comes [C#] streaming in, get up and say [F#] it again, _ _ _ get [B] up again. _ _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] I'm [G#] gonna feel [C#] happy, _ _ [C#] struggle for the people to [D#m] _ [A#] love.
_ _ _ _ [B] See that shaking, [F#] _
baby, that flame, the [D#m] heart and soul of the singer.
_ [A#m] As [B] it is, I'll [F#] never lie, [G#] I'll always [A#] stay as a [D#m] broken love.
_ _ [G#] The true _ [F#] love, that I contend with.
[Fm] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [B] Are you there?
_ [C#] Say a prayer for [D#m] the pretender.
[D#] _ _ _
[A#] _ [B] Who started out so open and strong, [C#]
only to [F#] surrender. _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ Are you there?
_ [B] For the _ pretender. _ _
[A#m] _ [F#] Are you there?
Are you there?
[B] For the _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
chosen.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
Are [F#] you there? _ _ _ _
_ [B] For the true love.
