40 Mark Strasse

A                   C#m
Is it all so very simple
     D           E
And horribly complex?
 Bm                 E
You suffer in a thimble
              A             D
And there's nothing coming next

      A                  C#m
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
      D               A
Her voice a cutting drone
Bm                    E
So creeping out, you pass the bar
        A              D
Your father's second home
             A       D - E
That leaves you on your own
A                  C#m
Nights I'd often watch you
D                  E
Float across the grounds
Bm           E
Out the gate to the motorway
      A                D
What secrets have you found?
A               C#m
You had to know I wanted
D                   A
Something from you then
Bm                  E
Too young to know just what it was
Continúa después del anuncio
           A            D
Something more than a friend
         A      D - E
Is that you at the end

[Verse]
           F#m - E          Bm    
Where you play     in the street 
       D   (D - E)
at night
F#m - E          Bm     D  (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm         
My girl, you're giving up the 
 D (D - E)
fight
     A           C#m        G
Are you gonna let these Americans
             E
Put another dent in your life?
A  C#m x2
     A             C#m
My mother says your dirty
         D              E
They're gonna find you dead
Bm              E
But have you got that final chapter
A                D
Written in your head?
       A            C#m
Cause every single story
      D           A
Is a story about love
Bm             E
Both the over flowing cup
           A            D
And the painful lack thereof
              A      D - E
You got the heart of a dove
           F#m - E          Bm    
But,  you play     in the street 
        D  (D - E)
at night
F#m - E        Bm       D    (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm         
My girl, you're giving up the 
 D  (D - E)
fight
F#m         E             
You'll have to lose all them 
   Bm        D     (D - E)
childish notions
     A           C#m        G
If you're gonna let these American 
boys
             E
Put another dent in your life

[Instrumental]
Bm E x4

[Verse]
   F#m - E             Bm         
you play     in the street at 
  D  (D - E)
night
F#m - E        Bm       D  (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm         
My girl, you're giving up the 
 D  (D - E)
fight
F#m              E        
You'll have to lose all them 
    Bm       D       (D - E)
childish notions
     A           C#m        G
Or you're gonna let these Americans
             E
Put another dent in your life
