[Intro] A C#m x4 [Verse] A C#m Is it all so very simple D E And horribly complex? Bm E You suffer in a thimble A D And there's nothing coming next A C#m Your mom smokes in the kitchen D A Her voice a cutting drone Bm E So creeping out, you pass the bar A D Your father's second home A D - E That leaves you on your own A C#m Nights I'd often watch you D E Float across the grounds Bm E Out the gate to the motorway A D What secrets have you found?

A C#m x2 A C#m My mother says your dirty D E They're gonna find you dead Bm E But have you got that final chapter A D Written in your head? A C#m Cause every single story D A Is a story about love Bm E Both the over flowing cup A D And the painful lack thereof A D - E You got the heart of a dove F#m - E Bm D (D - E) But, you play in the street at night F#m - E Bm D (D - E) Blown like a broken kite F#m - E Bm D (D - E) My girl, you're giving up the fight F#m E Bm D (D - E) You'll have to lose all them childish notions A C#m G If you're gonna let these American boys E Put another dent in your life [Instrumental] Bm E x4 [Verse] F#m - E Bm D (D - E) you play in the street at night F#m - E Bm D (D - E) Blown like a broken kite F#m - E Bm D (D - E) My girl, you're giving up the fight F#m E Bm D (D - E) You'll have to lose all them childish notions A C#m G Or you're gonna let these Americans E Put another dent in your life [Outro] A C#m x7
