[G] [D]
[F#] [Bm] [D]
[G] So long ago [D] I don't remember when, [F#] that's when they said I lost [Bm] my only friend.
[G] But since she died, is [D] he ever broken heart disease?
[F#] As I listen through the [B] cemetery [D] trees,
[G] [D]
[F#] [Bm] [G]
I see the sun coming up [D] and the funeral at dawn,
[F#] a long-lost game on the [Bm] human [D] law.
[G] Now it always seemed such a waste, [D] she always had a pretty [A#] face,
I [F#] wondered why she hung [Bm] around this place.
[D]
[G]
[F#] Hey,
[G] come on, try [D] to live, nothing is [E] forever,
there's got to be [A] something better than [D] in the [G] real,
me and [D] Cinderella, put it all [E] together, [Bm] we can call it [A] home,
[D] [G] one at night.
[D] [F#]
[Bm] [Em] [G] She said it's cold, it feels like [D] Independence Day,
[F#] and I can't break away from [Bm] this parade.
[D] [G] But there's got to be an [D] opening somewhere here in front of [F#] me,
through this maze of [Bm] ugliness and greed.
[D] And I [G] see the sign up [D] ahead at the counter, a lime bridge,
[F#] saying all is good and nothing [Bm] is dead.
[C#m] [G] We'll run until she's out of [D] breath, she ran until there's nothing [F#] left,
she hit the end, it's just [Bm] a window [A] ledge.
[G]
[F#]
[G] Hey, come on, try [D] to live, nothing is [E] forever,
there's got to be [A] something better than in the [G] real,
me and [D] Cinderella, put it all [Em] together, we can call it [A] home, [Gm] one at night.
[D]
[F#] [Bm] [D]
[G] [D]
[F#] [Bm] [Em] Well, this place is [G] old, it feels just like a beat-up truck,
[F#] I turn the engine but the engine [Bm] doesn't [E] turn.
What [G] sells for cheaper wine, cigarettes, [D] this place is always such [F#] a mess,
sometimes I think I'd like to [Bm] watch it burn.
I [G] sit alone, and I feel just [D] like somebody else,
man, [F#] I ain't changed, but I know I [Bm] ain't the same.
[D]
[G] Somewhere here in [D] between these city walls of dying [F#] dreams,
I think your death, it must be [Bm] killing me.
[D]
[G] [D]
[F#] Hey, [G] come on, try [D] to live, nothing is [E] forever,
there's got to be [A] something better than in the [G] real,
me and Cinderella, [D] put it all [E] together, we can call it [A] home, one [G] at [D] night.
