A Street

Db Ebm
I used to be your favourite drunk, good for one more laugh
Db Ebm
Then we both ran out of luck; luck was all we ever had
Abm
You put on a uniform to fight the Civil War
Bb
You looked so good I didn't care what side you're fighting for

[Verse 2]
Db Ebm
Wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away
Db Ebm
But I'll save that little story for another rainy day
Abm
I know the burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night
Bb
Some people say it's empty, but that don't mean it's light

[Interlude]
Db Ebm    x4

[Verse 3]
Db Ebm
You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath
Db Ebm
You're tight with the militias; you wear their camouflage
Abm
You always said we're equals, so let me march with you
Bb
Just an extra in the sequel to the old Red, White, and Blue

[Verse 4]
Db Ebm
Baby don't ignore me; we were smokers, we were friends
Db Ebm
Forget that tired story of betrayal and revenge
Abm
I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist
Bb
Salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed

[Interlude]
Db Ebm    x4

[Verse 5]
Db Ebm
I cried for you this morning, and I'll cry for you again
Db Ebm
But I'm not in charge of sorrow, so please don't ask me when
Abm
There may be wine and roses and magnums of champagne
Bb
But we'll never know, we'll never ever be that drunk again
