[Intro]
Dsus2
[Verse 1]
And ain't it lovely when you're falling off your Asoapbox?
The way tF#mime stops?
All their C#mjaws drop?
As you drift Dsus2down.
And ain't it lovely when you lay down on the Aconcrete?
Don't it F#mtaste sweet?
The blood on C#myour teeth?
Drips on the Dsus2ground.
[Chorus]
If you Gknow Ayou're headed for sDlaughteDsus4rD  D5  D  
If you Gknow Awhere you've bDeen
Oh, you will be GchangeAd like iron by wDaterDsus4  D  D5  D  
This is the GenG5d, Gjust the Aend
The end of an Dsus2age
[Verse 2]
And ain't it lovely when you feel humilAiation?
And the desolF#mation?
Then that elatC#mion?
Knowing you're fDsus2ree.
And ain't it lovely when the medicine you're nAeeding
All your begging and pF#mleading
It's slowly reC#mceding.
Now you're Dsus2free.

The end of an aDge
[Bridge]
When the Cboys lay you down
You're the talk of the town
And you leave it all over the GpageG5  G  
And when you Cspout out your truth
From a fountain of youth
And it's lunacy mingled with GrageG5  G  
And it's just the Dend, just the eCnd
The end of an Gage

[Outro]
And ain't it lovely when you're falling off your Asoapbox?
