Strum
D-DU-UDU
My life reads like the classifieds.
Pages of what's for sale; whats on the auction block.
Attention bidders! Its line 45.
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile.
Hold on, you havent heard the best yet.
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes.
So take him home for just $9.95.
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night...
Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
During the whoa, whoa, whoas
|---5-5---------5-5---------------|
|---5-5---------5-5------5--------|
|---5-5------5--5-5--------5------| x2
|---7-7--5h7----7-7--5h7-----7-5--|
|---7-7---------7-7---------------|
|---5-5---------5-5---------------|
end on C(viii)
palm mute power chords, listen carefully for transition points):
I'm not the type to forget about nights
like this, where every single move that I make
is documented and scored for style points.
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.
And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be
everything you promised you would be?
Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
During the whoa, whoa, whoas
|---5-5---------5-5---------------|
|---5-5---------5-5------5--------|
|---5-5------5--5-5--------5------| x2
|---7-7--5h7----7-7--5h7-----7-5--|
|---7-7---------7-7---------------|
|---5-5---------5-5---------------|
end on C(viii)
Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood paper
and all my family and friends that still care?
Did you buy what I sold and did you feel what I told you?
I hope you still do.
Will you promise yourself, that this isn't all we've got?
go through twice)
Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
oh oh oh
