Your smiling face looked back at me.

E
People's money piled on the floor,

Accusations that you try to deny,
               D                   
Revelations and rumors begin to

Reporters crowd around your house
      E
Going through your garbage like a 
pack of hounds,
Bm
Speculating what they may find out,
                D              
It don't matter now, you're all 
             A
washed up.
E                              
You wake up in the middle of the

                    A    E
Your sheets are wet and your face is
 white.

You tried to make a good thing last.
A     E                          
How could something so good, go
