GBmCEm My my what a mess we've made C Of our pretty little heads these days GBmCEmC It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently GBmCEm Best wishes have been made for you CG You never had no say it's true BmCEmC You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
DC And all your lonely nights D In the city of lights are much like CDCG All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

GBmCEm My my what a mess was made of my head C When I heard what you'd been through that day GBmCEmC It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently GBmCEm Letters meant to be sent have been torn C The phone lies off the hook on the floor GBmC All these I'm sorry s and I miss you s are useless EmC I f ked this one up long ago
[Pre-Chorus]
DC And all your lonely nights D In the city of lights are much like CDCG All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
