When all is said and done
Em
We're not the only ones
D
Who look at life this way
Em
That's what the old folks say
A
But every time I'd see them

Makes me wish I had a gun
A
If I thought that I was crazy
G
Well I guess I'd have more fun
DCG
Guess I'd have more fun

When all is said and done

We're not the only ones

Who look at life this way

That's what the young folks say

D
On an ordinary day
F#m
Not in an ordinary way
Bm
All at once the song I heard
G
No longer wouldn't play
D
For anybody
F#m
Or anyone
Bm
That needed comfort from somebody
G
Needed comfort from someone
D
Who cared
F#m
To be
Bm
Not like you
G
And unlike me
D
And then the voices ran away
F#m
From me
Bm
So now you set the wheels in motion
G
It haunts our memories
D
You were the instrument
F#m
You were the one
Bm
How a body took a body
G
And gave that boy a gun
D
You took our innocence
F#m
Beyond our stares
Bm
Sometimes the only thing you got at all
G
When no one else is there
DF#mBmG
Ah ah ah ah...
