Intro: G5 D5 F#5 B5 G5 D5 F#5 B5 {all powerchords P.M.}
G5 D5
So long ago, I don't remember when
F#5 B5
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G5 D5
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
F#5 B5 G5 D5 F#5 B5
As I listened through the cemetery trees
G5 D5
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
F#5 B5
The long broken arm of human law
G5 D5
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
F#5 B5 G5
So I wondered how she hung around this place {all powerchords P.M.}
F#5 G5
Hey, come on try a little
D5
Nothing is forever
E5 A5
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G5
Me and Cinderella
D5
We put it all together
E5
We can drive it home
A5
With one headlight
G5 D5 F#5 B5 {all powerchords P.M.}
G5 D5
She said it's cold and it feels like Independence Day
F#5 B5
And I can't break away from this parade
G5 D5
But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me
F#5 B5
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
G5 D5
And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge
F#5 B5
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
G5
We'll run until she's out of breath
D5
She ran until there's nothin' left
F#5 B5 G5 D5
She hit the end - it's just her window ledge {all powerchords P.M.}
F#5 G5
Hey, come on try a little
D5
Nothing is forever
E5 A5
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G5
Me and Cinderella
D5
We put it all together
E5
We can drive it home
A5
With one headlight
(Solo)
G5 D5 F#5 B5 G5 D5 F#5 B5
G5
Well, this place is old
D5
It feels just like a beat up truck
F#5 B5
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
G5
Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
D5
This place is always such a mess
F#5 B5
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
G5 D5
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
F#5 B5
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
G5 D5
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
F#5 B5 G5 D5
I think of death - it must be killin' me {all powerchords P.M.}
F#5 G5
Hey, hey, heeey, come on try a little
D5
Nothing is forever
E5 A5
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G5
Me and Cinderella
D5
We put it all together
E5
We can drive it home
A5 G5 D5
With one headlight.....
