Intro
A  C♯m x 4

AIs it all so very siC♯mmple
And hDorribly compElex?
YBmou suffer in a thimEble
And there's noAthing coming nDext

Your mAom smokes in the kiC♯mtchen
Her voDice a cutting drAone
BmSo creeping out, you pEass the bar
Your fatAher's second hoDme
That leaves yAou on yoDur oEwn

ANights I'd often waC♯mtch you
DFloat across the grEounds
BmOut the gate Eto the motorway
What sAecrets have you fDound?

AYou had to know C♯mI wanted
DSomething from you tAhen
BmToo young to know juEst what it was
Something mAore than a frDiend
Is that yAou at tDhe eEnd

Where you pF♯mlay   E  in the stBmreet at nightD     D         E
F♯mBlown Elike a brokBmen kiteD    D        E
F♯mMy girEl, you're giving Bmup the fightD   D       E
Are yAou gonna letC♯m these AmerGicans
Put another dEent in your life?

A  C♯m x2

My moAther says yourC♯m dirty
They're gDonna find you dEead
BmBut have you gotE that final chapter
AWritten in your hDead?

Cause eAvery single sC♯mtory
Is a sDtory about lAove
BmBoth the over fElowing cup
And the paiAnful lack theDreof
You got the heAart of Da doEve

But,  you pF♯mlay   E  in the stBmreet at night D     D         E
F♯mBlown Elike a brBmoken kiteD      D          E
F♯mMy girEl, you're giving Bmup the fightD    D        E

If yoAu're gonna lC♯met these AmGerican boys
Put another dEent in your life
