A C#m
Is it all so very simple
D E
And horribly complex
Bm E
You suffer in a thimble
A D
And there's nothing coming next
A C#m
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
D A
Her voice a cutting drone
Bm E
So creeping out you pass the bar
A D
Your father's second home
A D - E
That leaves you on your own
A C#m
Nights I'd often watch you
D E
Float across the grounds
Bm E
Out the gate to the motorway
A D
What secrets have you found
A C#m
You had to know I wanted
D A
Something from you then
Bm E
Too young to know just what it was
A D
Something more than a friend
A D - E
Is that you at the end
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
Where you play in the street at night
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
My girl you're giving up the fight
A C#m G
Are you gonna let these Americans
E
Put another dent in your life
A C#m x2
A C#m
My mother says your dirty
D E
They're gonna find you dead
Bm E
But have you got that final chapter
A D
Written in your head
A C#m
Cause every single story
D A
Is a story about love
Bm E
Both the over flowing cup
A D
And the painful lack thereof
A D - E
You got the heart of a dove
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
But you play in the street at night
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
My girl you're giving up the fight
F#m E Bm D (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
A C#m G
If you're gonna let these American boys
E
Put another dent in your life
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
You play in the street at night
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E Bm D (D - E)
My girl you're giving up the fight
F#m E Bm D (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
A C#m G
Or you're gonna let these Americans
E
Put another dent in your life
