He gets close, but I choke

Another day, lost and gone

All that much at all

At 27 years old

I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire
F#m Bm A G
At the only decent bar in town

And they drink MGD's

And they wish they had me

Like I wish I had fire

What a sad way to be
A
What a girl who got tired

Did she feel alive?

Her head all light
