This song rocks. I can sit and listen to it all day so I guess
that's how I figured out the chords and stuff so easily. It does
have some rhythms and stuff that I can't write down here so if
you really want to perfect it listen to the CD. If Jakob Dylan
or any of the other band members ever stumble across this page
on the internet, Thanks for writing and playing such an awesome
song.
G D
So long ago, I don't remember when
F#m Bm
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G D
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
F#m Bm
As I listened through the cemetary trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:
G
Hey, come on try a little
D
Nothing is forever
Em A
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
G
But me and Cinderella
D
We put it all together
Em A
We can drive it home
G D Em A
With one headlight
She said it's 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
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
Chorus

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine and ciggerettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I aint changed but I know I aint the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killing me
Chorus
*Bass is just the bass note of each chord*
