Verse 1
(D) A
I was born old
BmF#m
I grew up but I got younger
BmF#m
I was torn, and cold
BmA
Now I?m fine but there?s this hunger
GA
And a thirst for the days
DF#m
Before I went and razed it all
GAD
To the ground
Verse 2
Got a job, found God
I did everything they told me
Spoiled the child, spared the rod
And found someone new to hold me
Though the love?s not as real
As what I used to feel when it
All went wrong
Chorus
DA
La da da da da da,

GDAD
La da da da da da, La da da da
Verse 3
She was young, not scared - she was everything I wanted
I was dumb, unprepared - had no idea that I was haunted
By the ghosts of a life the night I hid the knives
And it all went wrong
Verse 4
It?s an old wound, but it opened in a new way
In a rest room in a rest stop on the thruway
She calls up her parents
And admits with embarrassment
Bm
She was wrong
Bridge
GA
Speaking of your mother
BmA7
This is how it goes:
GA
When the world gets you down
Bm
I suppose
GmA7Bm
You can fly away somewhere else
GA
Of your own volition
BmA7
Of your own accord
GA
When you?re sad, when you?re angry
Bm
When you?re bored,
GmA7Bm
You?ve got to do what?s best for yourself
GADBm
Ooo ooo ooooo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo
GA
La da da da dum
Verse 5
I awoke; you were gone
There was nothing left to hold onto
I was blind, I was wrong
But I could find you if I want to
So I fly to the coast where
The boys you love most
Sing into your eyes
Verse 6
I was lost, now I?m found
I can see, but miss the blindness
Here?s my cross; pound
It?s your mouth, your kiss, your kindness
My stigmata?s the regret for how
I could have let it all
Go so wrong
Bridge 2
GA
I?m going back to the place
DA
Where they laughed in my face
GA
When it all went
DBm
All went
GABm
All went wrong
GA
Yes it all went -
DBm
Isn?t this what you wanted, darling?
GA
All went...
Chorus
