[Verse 1]
A C
I once knew a pair that used to fit very tight
G A
But now a man's standing tall in the wake of this night
C D A
Na na nana na, his eyes are watering in anger at the thought of her sight
C D A
Na na nana na, the scene of adultery sets the stage for his plight
[Verse 2]
A C
On an innocent trip, how can one ruin so much
G A
A belief in a soul, in a beauty, or in a touch?
C D A
Ba ba bada ba, it's like a three-legged dog in search of a crutch
C D A Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, dissecting in past all the motives of such
[Verse 3]
A C
She once loved this person in a trial out of sight
G A
Disposing of the present situation, it felt right
C D A
Ba ba bada ba, two winters and summers passed over like a sound
C D A Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, and now the two of them are lost in a screaming battleground
[Verse 4]
A C
With support all around him like a fence or a drink
G A
He realizes in sadness that now he must begin to think
C D A
Ba ba bada ba, to filter his energy upon losses and fame
C D A Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, she'll think of the restful the peaceful or the gain
[Verse 5]
A C
His sister's a friend, she's like a relative to both
G A
Obliged to her brother under silhouetted oath
C D A
Ba ba bada ba, but she's there for the two with her bias undone
C D A Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, and she'll help see it through under moonlight or sun
[Verse 6]
A C
But today they've still yet to look each other in the eye
G A
And in a second he manages to dip to the other side
C D A
Ba ba bada ba, up to the people of the sky
C D A Riff 1
Ba ba bada ba, and now he'll never die
