Intro: Em-Bm-C-Bm- x2 


verse 1: 
Em 
Save a song for 
me to sing boy  
if I wanna play a 
       C 
song tonight oh oh 
Em 
Is there something 
I could wail out 
if I wanna wail 
         C 
by candlelight? oh oh 
            Em 
I'm feeling sick 
            Bm 
I'm feeling old 
            Em  D 
I'm feeling weak 
             C 
I feel that snow 
           Em 
Down in my knees 
           Bm 
Down in my soul 
            Em  D 
In place of guts 
           C 
I've got a hole 
     D         Em 
Like everybody else 
          C 
I've ever known 



Em Baby this ain't D home to me C no matter what G they say Em The grass is too D damn green here C and the hearts G are dull and grey G So take me down Bm to that city Em where the girls C just look okay C It's about all D I can take it I've stood too G D C D G D C D long in one place
verse 2: Em Strap me to the station wagon roof and drive C me out into the hills Em It may sound like I'm screaming from the car but I'm just screaming C from the thrill I'm Em Bm so alive I'm so afraid Em That I've been wasting D C what's left of these days Em These days I feel with Bm Em D a cold heart It's easier C to keep it hard Just D grab your shit and Em C meet me in the yard
Em Baby this ain't D home to me C no matter what G they say Em The grass is too D damn green here C and the hearts G are dull and grey G So take me down Bm to that city Em where the girls C just look okay C It's about all D I can take it I've stood too G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C long in one place
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C Bridge: Em C Lollipop dreams and G candycane waves D Are gonna hurt like hell Em when they crumble away C Because a beautiful youth G hurts worst when it dies D A rotten reminder of the C days we decided we'd rather Em go big and then rot away D We'd give into love C and wind up castaways We said 'fuck all the old Em boring shits we've become' D So we hoarded our dreams C and we burnt every one D Em And fuck me man I knew C not what I'd done D Em Fuck us man we knew C not what we'd done Em D Fuck us man we knew C not what we'd done D Man we were just G D/F# having some fun
Em Baby this ain't D home to me C no matter what G they say Em The grass is too D damn green here C and the hearts G are dull and grey G So take me down Bm to that city Em where the girls C just look okay C It's about all D I can take it I've stood too G D/F# Em D C(hold) long in one place
