D            A
He gets close, but I choke
          F#m             Bm
Take your shit, take your clothes
        A         G
And get out of my home
              A
I want you to love me
                Em
Or I want you long gone
                          A
You say your real name is John

[Verse 2]
            D
Hey, thanks John
         A            F#m
Go sing songs, go rock on
          Bm      A         G
Roll your crew on down the road
                      A
To the next sold out show
                      Em
Think you can get up above me?
                    A
Well, I want you to know

[Verse 3]
         G                 A
You're a figure of fun to everyone
           F#m        Bm    A          G
'Neath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
                    A
They wish they were you
                     Em
Like I wish you were mine
                     A
What a dumb thing to do

[Verse 4]
         G        A
How come I shout "Goodbye"
          F#m               Bm  A
When god knows I just want to
G                   D
Make this white lie big enough
   A                 Em
To climb inside with you

[Instrumental]
A  Em  A

[Verse 5]
        D              A
Another day, lost and gone
         F#m            Bm           A         G
Clipping pages from the news for the senator's son
                                  A
Well, he just strolls through the lobby
                Em
And glad-hands everyone
                         A
Another day, tossed and done

[Verse 6]
     D              A
I go home, take off clothes
        F#m           Bm    A  G
Smoke a bowl, watch a whole TV movie
                      A
I was supposed to be writing
                   Em
The most beautiful poems
               A
And completely revealing
                     Em
Divine mysteries up close
                      A
I can't say that I'm feeling
                 Em
All that much at all
            A
At 27 years old

[Verse 7]
    G                             A
I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire
       F#m Bm      A      G
At the only decent bar in town
                 A
And they drink MGD's
                       Em
And they wish they had me
                 A
Like I wish I had fire
                  Em
What a sad way to be
                    A
What a girl who got tired

[Verse 8]
      G          A            F#m        Bm  A
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
        G           D                  A
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?

Did she feel alive?
                Em A x4
Her head all light
