Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards kill this history
Make it over make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say
Back to the intro (1 time through)
There's a kid a floor below me saying brother can you
spare
Sunshine for a brother old man winter's in the air
Walked me up a story asking how you are
Bb Eb D Told me not to
worry you were just a shooting star
Repeat intro again then....breakout into the most triumphant
chorus...sing along if you dare.
Sweet adeline
Sweet adeline
My clementine
Sweet adeline
Repeat intro once more.
Its a picture perfect evening and i'm staring down the
sun
Fully loaded deaf and dumb and done
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead
End with playing the G chord over and over until the music's comes to a
hault.
