played behind the notes. If you pluck the right strings on these chords you will be

Verse
I like to arpegiate these chords like Tom does live, it sounds really good
Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
We've all been there once, but you never left
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends
I'm not leaving this place
Unless I'm leaving with you
Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart here
And I know you will put it to use
Until it's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah
Prechorus

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Chorus
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Verse
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me and you will see
that you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
Horn Riff
Verse
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
We had a heart-to-heart about life
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
If we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be!
Segway
Prechorus
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Chorus
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Verse
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me and you will see
that you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
Verse
So, how many more examples until we break?
So how many sacrifices must we make?
Because we've all been there once before
And it looks like we've returned once more
So is this the beginning or the end?
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Survivors of the war
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
So somehow bring him home.
How did it come to this?"
So the soldiers lift their rifles
And they're aiming at the head
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
"How did it come to this?"

I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
