Only The Song Survives

Intro: G C G x3

   G                         Cadd9
I woke her up twice in the middle of
 the night
To ask what her name is and where 
G/B  G/A   G
she might live
                             Cadd9
To ask how many fingers she saw in 
this light
                               G/B 
To ask if she might know what gives
 G/A   G


She said we rolled that Camaro, like
     Cadd9
 a cowboy cigarette
Out on the highway in a puddle of 
G/B  G/A  G
beer
That's just about how close to 
Cadd9
death you're gonna get
                                G/B
Till the only thing standing is 
  G/A  G
fear

         G            D/F#    
Singing, oh darling, faces were 
    G
changed
     C                         G/B
The names of the innocent, the 
   G/A  G
story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
Continues after the ad
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____

She said, now don't you remember 
           Cadd9
they put a patch on your eye
Like Dread Pirate Roberts, you 
          G/B  G/A  G
looked so unplanned
They cut off my wedding ring and you
  Cadd9
 started to cry
                         G/B  G/A  G
A one-eyed Niagara Falls man

         G            D/F#    
Singing, oh darling, faces were 
    G
changed
     C                         G/B
The names of the innocent, the 
   G/A  G
story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____

(Instrumental solo)

I said, but I never married, I said 
Cadd9
with surprise
And is this the diamond you said 
 G/B  G/A   G
that you lost
It was under my eyelids when they 
 Cadd9
flushed out my eyes
Hell and I don't know what the 
G/B  G/A  G
thing cost

         G            D/F#    
Singing, oh darling, faces were 
    G
changed
     C                         G/B
The names of the innocent, the 
   G/A  G
story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives

         G            D/F#    
Singing, oh darling, faces were 
    G
changed
     C                         G/B
The names of the innocent, the 
   G/A  G
story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____
