G C G D C
it said right now , i’m coming home in a body bag .
G D Em C
it’s a pride and a pain that are one and the same .
G D Em C
it’s a burning cigarette , it’s a horrible dream .
G D Em C
there’s a man in an office who’s going through files
G D C
and a woman who watches tv .

Em D C Em D C
and she doesn’t get the jokes told by late night talk show hosts ,
D
but for some reason she laughs anyway .

G C G D C
there’s this soap in my bathroom , and it’s all covered in hairs .
G C G D C
there’s this hope in my brain , and it’s all covered in prayers .

G D Em C
there’s a girl in this town who doesn’t know i exist .
G D Em C
there’s a wounded sense of pride and a pain in my fist .
G D Em C
there’s 12 empty bottles on this table tonight .
G D Em C
there’s 4 lungs on fire and 4 burning eyes .

Em D C Em D C
and something will explode , and someone will cry .

G D C
but now it’s covered with fences and cops and lightposts .
G D C
and i’d never go back if anything was the same ,
G D C D
but it kills me to know that it’s changed .

G C G D C
there’s these kids who have dreams . there’s these dreams that will grow .
G C G D C
until they get so goddamn big that they explode .

and what’s left in the smoke and the falling debris
G C G D
is grownups like them and losers like me
