[Intro]
E C#m E C#m A F#m
E C#m E C#m A F#m

[Verse]
E C#m E C#m
Little baby with a broken cup, trying to fill it with a distant love
A F#m
She was flipped out right down the line
E C#m E C#m
He was breathing last time I looked, dressed in white like a missionary cook
A F#m Gm
Or like a sorcerer making water from wine

[Chorus]
G#m Gm F#m Gm G#m Gm F#m G#m A
Everybody gets lonely, (lonely), when the crowd turns mean
E C#m E A A A
Well intentioned pedestrian crossing at the green

[Interlude]
E C#m E C#m A F#m

[Verse]
E C#m E C#m
I was there when the internet broke, believe mister it wasn't no joke
A F#m
Trooper Huck Finn putting up detour signs
E C#m E C#m
There were maps floating everywhere I was shaved by a hair on a barber chair
A F#m Gm
It was mystic when I went on line

[Chorus]
G#m Gm F#m Gm G#m Gm F#m G#m A
Everybody gets angry, (angry), at last to arrive
E C#m E A A A
Well intentioned pedestrian wait impatiently on the other side

[Bridge]
B C#m C#m B A B
To hell with the man with the message, three cheers for the lovers who tried
E C#m E A A A
Well intentioned pedestrian blindfolded and walking in the line of fire

[Interlude]
E C#m E C#m A F#m E C#m E C#m A F#m
[Verse]
E C#m
I know I'm never gonna figure it out,
E C#m
love'n hate, life'n death, faith'n doubt
A F#m
But its the losing that's got me down
E C#m
Its just a question of serenity
E C#m
but when they giving that out they forgot about me
A F#m Gm
I guess I was out of town

[Chorus]
G#m Gm F#m Gm G#m Gm F#m Gm G#m
Everybody gets busted, (busted), and everybody tries hard
G#m Gm F#m Gm G#m Gm F#m G#m A
Everybody's a hero, (hero), in their own backyard
E C#m E A A A
Well intentioned pedestrian flying on a credit card

[Outro]
E C#m E C#m A F#m
