C#
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
F
As the cigarette burns on my chest
C#
I wrote a poem that described her world
F
That put my friendship to the test
Bb
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
F
She used to watch me kiss the floor
F#
What's wrong with this picture?

What's wrong with this picture?

C#                     F
Farewell the ashtray girl
                 C#
Forbidden snowflake
F
Beware this troubled world
                     Bb
Watch out for earthquakes
                F
Goodbye to open sores
                F#
To broken semaphore
                C#
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

F#              C#
Sometimes it's faded
F#
Disintegrated
                    C#
For fear of growing old
F#              C#
Sometimes it's faded
F#
Assassinated
                    C#
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old
Can't stop growing old...
