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

with his Atongue torn out

and his Dballs removed

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!
