[Verse]
Well I'm ELost, I'm Aafraid, a Brope tying down a lBeaky boat 
To the roof of car on a road in the dark and its snowing 
If I'm more than a means less, last call for happiness 
I'm the dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing 
I'm a float in a summer parade 
Up the street in a town that you were born in 
With the girl at the top wearing tuelle, and miss somewhere 
sash, waving like the queen.
[Chorus]
Well C#beauty's just another Aword, I'm never certain how it's F#spelled 
Go tell the nurse to turn the ETV back on 
C#Throw away my miserAy, it never meant that much to meB  
                          B(then mute)
It never sent a get well card
[Instrumental] (x2)
E   A    B    B
[Verse]      
And I'm Ebroke like a Abad joBke somebody's uncle told 
At a wedding reception in Nineteen Seventy Two 
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair 
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed 
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home 
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home 
And he thought about how everyone dies someday. 
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be? 
And he fell asleep in his brand new winter coat. 
[Outro]
C#Buy me a shiny new maAchine that runs on lies and gaF#soline 
and all those batteries we Estole from smoke alarms 
C#Disassembles my dispaiAr, never took me Banywhere 
                         B   B(mute!)
It never once bought me a drink

[Verse]

E A B B

Well I'm Lost, I'm afraid, a rope tying down a leaky boat

To the roof of car on a road in the dark and its snowing

If I'm more than a means less, last call for happiness

I'm the dress near the back of your knees and your slip is showing

I'm a float in a summer parade

Up the street in a town that you were born in

With the girl at the top wearing tuelle, and miss somewhere

sash, waving like the queen.

[Chorus]

C# A F#

Well beauty's just another word, I'm never certain how it's spelled

Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on

C# A B

Throw away my misery, it never meant that much to me

(then mute)

It never sent a get well card

[Instrumental] (x2)

E A B B

[Verse]

E A B

And I'm broke like a bad joke somebody's uncle told

At a wedding reception in Nineteen Seventy Two

Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair

Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed

And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home

And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home

And he thought about how everyone dies someday.

And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be?

And he fell asleep in his brand new winter coat.

[Outro]

C# A F#

Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline

and all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms

C# A B

Disassembles my dispair, never took me anywhere

B B

(mute!)

It never once bought me a drink
