Chords with lyrics
Capo 2. It's literally G, Am, C, G+G the whole way. I don't know the picking but it's fairly easy to play along with this :) G+G The toy that you got from an old cereal box A minorAm C majorC takes pride of place on my window ledge G+G them pop-cap guns and your father's benson A minorAm C majorC are gonna make a man out of you some day A minorAm ain't it funny how it's all worked out C majorC you've got a job and a family now A minorAm and I'm singing these same old songs C majorC in empty bars and cheap restaurants A minorAm and it feels like a matter of days C majorC that I could run all the games we played A minorAm sitting on the rooftops after dark C majorC G+G drinking in the sky and eating the stars I'm running home for tea of mash and gravy shipping for castings on the radio Mama's in her straights saying she only does her best but we don't appreciate where the money goes would you even recognise me now I lost love and I've fallen down felt the weight of the world on my shoulder my young face got a little bit older had my heart bent, torn in two surely hope it doesn't happen to you sitting on the rooftops after dark drinking in the sky and eating the stars I won't tie my laces I won't brush my hair I won't wear nice dresses on a Sunday I say three 'hail mary's and I'll make my peace With the Friday night DJ down the alley ain't it funny how it's all worked out you've got a job and a family now and im singing these same old songs in empty bars and cheap restaurants and it feels like a matter of days that I could run all the games we played sitting on the rooftops after dark drinking in the sky and eating the stars had my heart bent, torn in two surely hope it doesn't happen to you sitting on the rooftops after dark drinking in the sky and eating the stars
