Intro

Verse 1

DBy the second Averse, dear friends

 My Bmhead will burst, my Glife will end

 So, I'd Alike to start this one off by saying

D"Live and love"

DI was young and at Ahome in bed

 And I was Bmhanging on the words Gsome poem said

 In A'31

 I was Dimpressionable

 I was Emupsettable

Bridge

 I tried to Bmmake my breathing sGtop, my heart beat sAlow

 So, when my Bmmom and John came inG, I would be coAld

Verse 2

DFrom a bridge on Washington AAvenue,

 The Bmyear of 19G72

 Broke myA bones and skull,

 and it wasD memorable

 It was Dhalf a second in; I was Ahalfway down-

 Do you Bmthink I wanted to Gturn back around

 and Ateach a class

 Where you Dkiss the ass

 that I've exEmposed to you?

Bridge

 And at the Bmfuneral, the GUniversiAty

 Cried at three Bmpoems they'd Gpresent in place of aA broken me

Verse 3

DI was breaking in a Acase of suds

 At the BmBrass Rail, a Gfall-down drunk

 And I Dknew that my last Alines were gone,

 while Bmstupidly I Glingered on,

 Oh, but Awise men know

 when it's Dtime to go

 And so EmI should, too

Bridge

 And so I Bmfly into the Gbrightest winter Asun

 Of this Bmfrozen town. I'm Gstripped down to move Aon,

 my friends: I'm Emgone F♯ G A

Pre-chorus and Chorus:

 Well, DI hear my faGther Dfall G

 And DI hear my moGther Dcall G

 And DI hear the oGthers Dall whisper "Come Ahome"

 I'm sorry to Dgo G D

DI loved you allG so

 But Dthis is the worst tripA I've ever been Don G D

 So, Dhoist up the John GB. Dsail G

DSee how the main Gsail Dsets G

 I'm Dfull in my heart and Gmy Dhead and I wanna go Ahome

 With a book in each Dhand G D

DIn the way I had Gplanned

 Well, Dthis is the worst tripA I've ever been Don

 So, Dhoist up the John GB. Dsail G

DSee how the main Gsail Dsets G

 I'm Dfull in my heart and Gmy Dhead and I wanna go Ahome

 With a book in each Dhand G D

DIn the way I had Gplanned

 I Dfeel so broke up,A I wanna go Dhome.

That's it, enjoy!
