intro: B 
 
          E          F#         G#m 
Park the car at the side of the road  
F#        G#m 
You should know  
A 
Time's tide will smother you  
B          G    A 
 And I will too  
     B7+ 
When you laugh about people who feel so  
 
Very lonely  
       E      F#        G#m 
Their only desire is to die  
 F#         G#m 
Well, I'm afraid  
     A 
It doesn't make me smile  
B           G      A    G  E    
 I wish I could laugh  
 
          G          A        D     E 
But that joke isn't funny anymore  
      G 
It's too close to home  
           E 
And it's too near the bone  
    G              A 
It's too close to home  
          D            E 
And it's too near the bone  
          G                B  G  A  
More than you'll ever know ...  
 
(B  F#   A                             D 
       Kick them when they fall down  
                      E 
Kick them when they fall down)x 4 
  
G E            G          A              D    E  
       It was dark as I drove the point home  
         G 
And on cold leather seats  
           E                 G 
Well, it suddenly struck me  
               A         D 
I just might die with a smile on my  
 E          G    B  G  A 
Face after all  
 
SOLO: B F# A D E   
 
                 B          F# 
I've seen this happen in other people's  
 
Lives  
     A                    D   E 
And now it's happening in mine  
 
                 B          F# 
I've seen this happen in other people's  
 
Lives  
     A                    D   E 
And now it's happening in mine  
 
(eh tudo sequência...)
