A D E A D


[Verse 1]
     A           D      E
To a world we'll not remember
          A        D
When we're old and tired
        A        D      E           A     D
We'll be blowing on the embers of a little fire
           A        D      E           A    D
We were the tallest person watching in Chesapeake
   A       D       E          A        Dmaj7
You put me on your shoulders so I could see


[Chorus]
D         A          E
I was all covered in sound
 A                    D
Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
D         A         E
Swallowed up by the crowd
       A                            D
Didn't know what they were singing about
A                 D
I can't hardly wait
    A               D
For someone to replace


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
      A       D     E
It was hot in the arena
        A         D
Good men die like dogs
    A   D        E            A       Dmaj7
My hero plays to no one, in a parking lot
    A               D        E
Even though there's no one around
A                      D
He broke a leg and the house came down
A        D       E
A smattering of applause
         A                D
A sliver moon and a cover song


[Bridge]
A                 D
Oh sweet child of mine
              A                                  D
You're always sorry for everything, never apologize
A                 D
Oh sweet child of mine
        A                                              Dmaj7
Now you stand on the corner and hope you get recognized


[Chorus]
D         A          E
I was all covered in sound
         A                   D
When you asked me to turn it down
D           A            E
Didn't even think it was loud
A                D   Dmaj7  D
Can you hear it now?
