[Intro] A7M
D E F#m Park the car at the side of the road
E F#m You should know
G G7M Time's tide will smother you
A F G And I will too
A7M When you laugh about people who feel so very lonely
D E F#m Their only desire is to die
E F#m Well, I'm afraid
G G7M It doesn't make me smile
A F G F D I wish I could laugh

F G C D But that joke isn't funny anymore
F It's too close to home
D And it's too near the bone
F G It's too close to home
C D And it's too near the bone
F A F G More than you'll ever known
A E G C Kick them when they fall down
D Kick them when they fall down x4
( F D )
F G C D It was dark as I drove the point home
F And on cold leather seats
D F Well, it suddenly struck me
G C I just might die with a smile on my
D F A F G Face after all
[Solo] A E G C D
A E I've seen this happen in other people's lives
G C And now it's happening in mine
D A E I've seen this happen in other people's Lives
G C D And now it's happening in mine
