VerseA
So you drink your day away till the liquor in your mouth laughs,
F#m
And mirrors paint you beautiful like older photographs,
DA
But we grow, we grow old, even this won't last
A
No one understands, no one cares at all
F#m
And they're tearing down our sacred places in the hall
DA
You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my hand
AF#m
I love you like the kids love throwing bottles off the BridgeADA
And breaking in to trade your fix for American shoes
F#m
For American shoes,
AD
I've been dying to lie awake in a room for two

I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love
