Intro:
G ( 2 bars)
[G]I live on a chain and [A/C#] you share the same last [C]name,
as a [G]joke,I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you [A/C#] choked,
You said it made you feel[C] dirty,
[D]And I was waiting over here for life to [Am]begin,
I was looking for the new[Em] thing,
And you were THE[C] sunshine heading my[A/C#] front-line,
I was [C]alone, you were just around the corner[G] from me.
[G]Time alone is good, I spend my days in the city,
[A/C#]Dirty neighborhood, you know you?ll never convince[C] me,
[G]So I sold the town away, I couldn?t wait to forget you,
[A/C#]I was killed in half a day, I hadn?t time to [C]regret you,
[D]And I was waiting over here for life to [Am]begin,
I was looking for the new[Em] thing,
And you were THE[C] sunshine heading my[A/C#] front-line,
I was [C]alone, you were just around the corner[G] from me.
[G]I, I?m still on the chain, and yo[A/C#]u, had the same last[C] name,
[G]As a joke I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you[A/C#] choked you said it made you feel[C] dirty...
[D]Waiting over here, for life to[Am] begin,
Still looking for the new[Em] thing,
And you were the[C] sunshine heading my[A/C#] front-line,
I was[G] alone, you were just around the corner[G] from me
(play 12-bar-G for two or three bars to fade)
