Soul Asylum
(Dave Pirner)
Intro: C majorC FF G+G x2
Verse:
C majorC
The checkered floor was checkered no more
FF G+G
They tore out the floors and the ceiling
C majorC
And the place has a stale smell of old memories
FF G+G
And the fixtures are there for the stealing
Chorus:
A minorAm FF
But who wants to buy these memories now
C majorC G+G
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
A minorAm FF
Who wants yesterday's news today
C majorC G+G
Gone once, gone twice
C majorC
Gone forgotten
C majorC FF G+G x2
There's a dirty old mattress full of stains and burns
And each one tells a story
And it's been through bed-wetting and a couple of weddings
Through nightmares and wet dreams of glory
But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
C majorC
Gone forgotten
FF G+G
Gone forgotten
C majorC
Gone forgotten
FF G+G
I gotta walk away from these dirty old shoes
They've been in too many places
But I'm hung out to dry by my laces
But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
G+G C majorC
Gone, gone, gone, gone forgotten
Outro:
C majorC FF G+G
Gone forgotten
