Fmaj7               C         
So long ago I don't remember when 
       E            E7                Am   G 
That's when they say I lost my only friend 
Fmaj7                        C 
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease 
      E                  E7          Am  G  
As I listened through the cemetary trees 
Fmaj7                           C 
I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn 
    E           E7           Am    G 
the long broken arm of human law 
Fmaj7                             C 
It always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face 
  E                                Am  G 
I wondered why she hung around this place 

Fmaj7         E  E7 
              Hey hey hey... 


Fmaj7                C 
Come on try a little nothing is forever 
Dm                          G 
There's got to be something better than in the middle 
Fmaj7              C 
Me and Cinderella put it all together 
Dm                   G 
We can drive it home ... with one headlight. 



She said its cold it feels like independence day  
And I can't break away from this parade 
But there's got to be an opening 
Somewhere here in front of me 
Through this maze of ugliness and greed 

I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge  
saying all is good and nothingness is dead 
Runnin' till she's out of breath 
She ran until there's nothing left 
She hit the end its just her window ledge 


This place is old feels just like a beat up truck 
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn 
it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes 
This place is always such a mess 
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn 

now i sit alone I feel just like somebody else 
Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same 
But somewhere here in between 
These city walls of dying dreams 
I think her death it must be killing me
