60 And Punk

Ab   Eb   Bb
Ab   Eb   Bb


[Verse 1]
Ab              Eb               
There's nothing funny about just 
Bb        Ab
slipping away
             Eb              
It's nothing funny how you're 
 Bb              Ab
spending your days
           Eb              Bb     
But you're laughing like a kid at 
  Cm   F
a carnival

Ab            Eb                 
I watched you stumbling around 
    Bb     Ab
this dusty town
             Eb             Bb    
I heard your bottle talking way 
   Ab
too loud
          Eb              Bb      
As the Federales tried to hunt you
  Cm
 down
                  F             
For something you can't remember 
          Ab
what was about


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and 
the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays 
you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore


[Verse 2]
Ab        Eb               Bb   
I used to watch you on the late 
      Ab
night scene
           Eb          Bb    Ab
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Continues after the ad
    Eb                     Bb     
Six strings were strumming rhythm 
    Cm
and lead
                  F
And that hadn't occurred to me

Ab     Eb            Bb  Ab
When I met you I was 22
       Eb         Bb      Ab
Trying so hard to play it cool
              Eb             Bb   
But there was so much that I 
     Cm
needed to say
                 F             Ab
And nothing came out the right way


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and 
the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays 
you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore

Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and 
the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays 
you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore


[Verse 3]
Ab              Eb         Bb    
There's nothing elegant in being 
  Ab
a drunk
             Eb              Bb   
It's nothing righteous being 60 
     Ab
and a punk
                Eb            
But when you're looking in the 
 Bb            Cm
mirror do you see
                  F
That kid that you used to be?

Ab        Eb           Bb      Ab
Broke and working in a record store
   Eb                 Bb       Ab
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
         Eb      Bb            Cm
Were you happier when you were poor?
         F                     Ab
Were you happier when you were poor?


[Chorus]
Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and 
the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays 
you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore

Cm          Bb
The curtain falls to applause and 
the
F/A                     Ab
Band plays you off, the band plays 
you off
Cm          Bb           F/A
He's a superhero growing bored
               Ab
With no one to save anymore
