 LYRICS
 Children, Broadripple  is burning
 And the girls  are gettin' sick
 Of huffin' glue  up in the bathroom
 While your boyfriends  pick up chicks
 And darling I'm lost
 I heard you whispering  that night  in fountain square
 The trash filled streets  made me wish  we were heading home.
 And there was love  inside the basement
 Where that woman  used to lie
 In a sleeping  bag we shared
 Upon the floor  almost every night
 And darling I'm drunk
 everything  that I have loved  is turned to stone
 So pack your bag  and come  back home.
 And I'm wasted
 You can taste  it
 
 Don't look at me that way
 'cause I'll be hanging  from  a rope
 
 I will haunt you like a ghost.
 
 
 If my woman  was a fire
 She'd burn out  before I wake
 And be replaced  by pints of whiskey
 Cigarettes,  and outer space
 If somebody moves
 everything  you thought you had  will go to shit
 We've got a lot,  don't ever  forget  that.
 And I wrote  this on an airplane
 Where the people  looked like eggs
 And when a woman  that you loved  was gone
 She was bombing  east Japan
 And don't fucking move
 'cause everything  you thought you have  will go to shit
 We've got a lot,  don't you  dare to forget  that.
 And I'm wasted
 You can taste  it
 
 Don't look at me that way
 'cause I'll be hanging  from  a rope
 
 I will haunt you like a ghost.
 
 
 
 
 And I'm wasted
 You can taste  it.
 
 Don't look at me that way
 'cause I'll be hanging  from  a rope
 
 I will haunt you like a ghost.

LYRICS

[Em] [C] [G]  [Em] [C] [G]

Children, [Em]Broadripple is [C]burning
And the [G]girls are gettin' sick
Of huffin' [Em]glue up in the [C]bathroom
While your [G]boyfriends pick up chicks
And darling I'm [Em]lost
I heard you [C]whispering that [G]night in fountain square
The trash filled [Em]streets made me [C]wish we were heading [G]home.

And there was [Em]love inside the [C]basement
Where that [G]woman used to lie
In a [Em]sleeping bag we [C]shared
Upon the [G]floor almost every night
And darling I'm [Em]drunk
every[C]thing that I have [G]loved is turned to stone
So pack your [Em]bag and [C]come back [G]home.

And I'm [Em]wasted
You can [C]taste it
      [G]       [G/f#]    [Em]
Don't look at me that way
'cause I'll be [C]hanging fr[Em]om a rope
       [C]         [G/f#]   [Em]
I will haunt you like a ghost.

 [Em]  [C] [G]
 [Em]  [C] [G]

If my [Em]woman was a [C]fire
She'd burn [G]out before I wake
And be re[Em]placed by pints of [C]whiskey
Ciga[G]rettes, and outer space
If somebody [Em]moves
every[C]thing you thought you [G]had will go to shit
We've got a [Em]lot, don't [C]ever for[G]get that.

And I [Em]wrote this on an [C]airplane
Where the [G]people looked like eggs
And when a [Em]woman that you [C]loved was gone
She was [G]bombing east Japan
And don't fucking [Em]move
'cause every[C]thing you thought you [G]have will go to shit
We've got a [Em]lot, don't [C]you dare to for[G]get that.

And I'm [Em]wasted
You can [C]taste it
      [G]       [G/f#]    [Em]
Don't look at me that way
'cause I'll be [C]hanging fr[Em]om a rope
       [C]         [G/f#]   [Em]
I will haunt you like a ghost.

 [Em]  [C] [G]
 [Em]  [C] [G]
 [Em]  [C] [G]
 [Em]  [C] [G]

And I'm [Em]wasted
You can [C]taste it.
      [G]       [G/f#]    [Em]
Don't look at me that way
'cause I'll be [C]hanging fr[Em]om a rope
       [C]         [G/f#]   [Em]
I will haunt you like a ghost.
