        Em             C 
Children, Broadripple is burning 
        G 
And the girls are gettin' sick 
           Em             C 
Of huffin' glue up in the bathroom 
           G 
While your boyfriends pick up chicks 
                Em 
And darling I'm lost 
            C               G 
I heard you whispering that night in fountain square 
                 Em              C                    G 
The trash filled streets made me wish we were heading home. 

              Em              C 
And there was love inside the basement 
           G 
Where that woman used to lie 
     Em              C 
In a sleeping bag we shared 
         G 
Upon the floor almost every night 
                Em 
And darling I'm drunk 
     C                 G 
everything that I have loved is turned to stone 
             Em      C         G 
So pack your bag and come back home. 

        Em 
And I'm wasted 
        C 
You can taste it 
      G       G/F#    Em 
Don't look at me that way 
               C         Em 
'cause I'll be hanging from a rope 
       C         G/F#   Em     
I will haunt you like a ghost.

      Em          C 
If my woman was a fire 
           G 
She'd burn out before I wake 
         Em                 C 
And be replaced by pints of whiskey 
    G 
Cigarettes, and outer space 
            Em 
If somebody moves 
     C                     G 
everything you thought you had will go to shit 
            Em         C       G 
We've got a lot, don't ever forget that. 

      Em               C 
And I wrote this on an airplane 
          G 
Where the people looked like eggs 
           Em             C 
And when a woman that you loved was gone 
        G 
She was bombing east Japan 
                  Em 
And don't fucking move 
            C                     G 
'cause everything you thought you have will go to shit 
            Em         C              G 
We've got a lot, don't you dare to forget that. 


        Em 
And I'm wasted 
        C 
You can taste it 
      G       G/F#    Em 
Don't look at me that way 
               C         Em 
'cause I'll be hanging from a rope 
       C         G/F#   Em     
I will haunt you like a ghost.

Don't look at me that way 
               C         Em 
'cause I'll be hanging from a rope 
       C         G/F#   Em
