[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G A# A G
A man and his wife and kids stand on the street
G A# A D
He's got two little girls just knee high from his feet
C
But as he turns to say goodbye
Bm
He's got a kiss for the girls but not his wife
C
He looks to the sky and he wonders where
Am D C
Oh where went all of life
[Chorus]
G A# A G
And hope dissolves like an aspirin on his tongue
[Verse]
G A# A G
An able-bodied boy with an able mind
G A# A D
He falls for the wrong sort proving love is blind
C
They fell in love after falling in bed
Bm
They tried to smile when the doctor said
C
You created a life but you failed to say
Am D C
You shot your own lifes dead
[Chorus]
G A# A G
And hope dissolves like an aspirin on his tongue
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G A# A G
An old man sits with a beer and a barrel and a gun
G A# A D
He says if all is lost then all is won
C
He's got one last thing left to declare
Bm
As he sits there dying in his rocking chair
C
Says stop this unfair warfare
Am D C
Or I'll tear out all my hair
[Chorus]
G A# A G
And hope dissolves like an aspirin on his tongue
G A# A G
And hope dissolves like an aspirin on his tongue
G A# A G
And hope dissolves like an aspirin on his tongue
