[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm][G][Bm][G][Bm]
[G]Is it

[Verse 1]
all so very sim[Bm]ple
And [C]horribly com[D]plex
[Am]You're suffering the t[D]himble
And there's [G]nothing coming nex[C]t

[Verse 2]
Your [G]mom smokes in the [Bm]kitchen
Her [C]voice a cutting [G]drone
[Am]They're creeping out,
[D]you pass the bar
[G]Your father's second [C]home
That leaves [G]you on your [D]own

[Verse 3]
[G]
Nights I'd of[Bm]ten watch you
[C]Float across [D]the grounds[Am]
Out the gate [D]to the motorway
[G]What secrets have you [C]found?

[Verse 4]
[G]You had to know I wan[Bm]ted
[C]Something from you [G]then
[Am]Too young to know just[D]
what it was
[G]Something more than [C]a friend
Is that [G]you at [C]the [D]end

[Verse 5]
Well, you [Em]play [D]in the[Am] street
at [C]night[D][Em]
You [D]blow like a [Am]broken [C]kite[D][Em]
My [D]girl, you're giving [Am]up the fi[C]ght
[D]Are you[G] gonna let[Bm] these Amer[F]icans
Put another [D]dent in your life?
[G][Bm][G][Bm]

[Verse 6]
[G]
My mother says [Bm]you're dirty
They're [C]gonna find you [D]dead
[Am]But have you got that [D]final chapter
[G]Written in your [C]head

[Verse 7]
'Cause [G]every single [Bm]story
Is [C]a story about [G]love[Am]
Both the [D]overflowing cup
And [G]the painful lack [C]thereof
You got the [G]heart of a [D]dove

[Verse 8]
But you [Em]play [D]in the[Am] street
at [C]night[D][Em]
You [D]blow just like a [Am]broken [C]kite[D][Em]
My [D]girl, you're giving
[Am]up the f[C]ight[D]
[Em]You'll have to [D]lose all them [Am]childish [C]notions
If [G]you're gonna [Bm]let
these [F]American boys
Put another [D]dent in your life

[Verse 9]
You [Em]play [D]in the[Am] street at nig[C]ht[D][Em]
You [D]blow just like a [Am]broken [C]kite[D][Em]
My [D]girl, you're giving
[Am]up the f[C]ight[D]
[Em]You'll have to [D]lose all them [Am]childish [C]notions
[D]Are you[G] gonna let[Bm] these Amer[F]icans
Put another [D]dent in your life?
