G                     Am  
Pretty little hairdo, don't do what it used to 
C                                                         G  
Can't disguise the living, all the miles that you've been through 
G                           Am 
Looking like a train wreck, wearing too much make up 
    C                                                      G 
The burden that you carry is more than one soul could ever bear

(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina 
G                       D

C                                                          G 
Rough around the edges hoping someone'll come and take you home 
G                                Am 
Waiting for a breakthrough, what will you set your mind to 
   C                                           G 
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant in the rain
