Chords with lyrics
There's a letter at my mother's house, came with a folded flag.
C majorC
It said Right now, I'm coming home in a body bag.
C majorC
It's a pride and a pain that are one and the same.
C majorC
It's a burning cigarette, it's a horrible dream.
C majorC
There's a man in an office who's going through files
C majorC
and a woman who watches TV.
C majorC
And she doesn't get the jokes told by late night talk show hosts,
D MajorD
but for some reason she laughs anyway.
C majorC
There's this soap in my bathroom, and it's all covered in hairs.
C majorC
There's this hope in my brain, and it's all covered in prayers.
C majorC
There's a girl in this town who doesn't know I exist.
C majorC
There's a wounded sense of pride and a pain in my fist.
C majorC
There's 12 empty bottles on this table tonight.
C majorC
There's 4 lungs on fire and 4 burning eyes.
C majorC
And something will explode, and someone will cry.
D MajorD
And someone will run out and never turn around.
C majorC
There's a park in this city where I used to go,
C majorC
but now it's covered with fences and cops and lightposts.
C majorC
And I'd never go back if anything was the same,
D MajorD
but it kills me to know that it's changed.
C majorC
There's these kids who have dreams. There's these dreams that will grow.
C majorC
Until they get so goddamn big that they explode.
D MajorD
And what's left in the smoke and the falling debris
D MajorD
is grownups like them and losers like me
D MajorD
And what's left in the smoke and the falling debris
D MajorD
is grownups like them and losers like me.
C majorC
it's grownups like them and losers like me
D MajorD
it's grownups like them and losers like me
Yeah
C majorC
Tonight let's go walking down Clark Street
C majorC
and look at the new buildings that we've never seen.
C majorC
We'll stop at the bar and pass out on the floor
C majorC
And Tomorrow we'll forget everything
D MajorD
and we'll replay these days again.
