Verse:
    F#         Bsus
I'm lost, I'm a frayed
C#
Rope tying down a leaky boat
       F#                   Bsus
To the roof of a car on the road in the dark
         C#
And it's snowing
       F#            Bsus
If I'm more, then it means less
C#
Last call for happiness
         F#                          Bsus
I'm your dress near the back of your knees
                 C#
And your slip is showing
      F#         Bsus      C#
I'm a float in a summer parade
                     F#        Bsus             C#
Up the street in the town that you were born in
       F#          Bsus        C#
With a girl at the top wearing tulle
                     F#
And a Miss Somewhere sash
Bsus               C#
Waving like the queen

Chorus:
D#m                      B
Beauty's just another word
                         G#m
I'm never certain how to spell
                              F#
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on
D#m                    B
And throw away my misery
                             C#
It never meant that much to me
                         N.C.
It never sent a Get Well card


Verse:
  F#           Bsus  C#
I broke like a bad   joke

Somebody's uncle told
     F#                   Bsus C#
At a wedding reception in 19   72
        F#                 Bsus                   C#
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
F#                     Bsus                    C#
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
        F#                 Bsus                    C#
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
        F#                 Bsus                    C#
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
       F#                Bsus              C#
And he thought about how everyone dies someday
    F#            Bsus                           C#
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be
    F#                 Bsus                 C#
And fell asleep in his brand-new winter coat


Chorus:
D#m                   B
Buy me a shiny new machine
                          G#m
That runs on lies and gasoline
                           F#
And all those batteries we stole from smoke-alarms
D#m                    B
And disassembles my despair
                     C#
It never took me anywhere
                          N.C.
It never once bought me a drink
