Verse 1:
G                      D
So long ago, I don't remember when
       Gb7                          Bm     A
That's when they say I lost my only friend
          G                       D
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
     Gb7                           Bm    A
As I listened through the cemetery trees
 
Interlude: G D Gb7 Bm A
 
Verse 2:
           G                     D
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
    Gb7                      Bm  A
The long broken arm of human law
       G                              D
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
  Gb7                               Bm    A
I wondered how she hung around this place

G G Gb7 Gb7
         Hey 
 
Chorus:
G
   Come on try a little
D
   Nothing is forever
Em7                    A
   Got to be something better than
 
   In the middle
G
   Me & Cinderella
D
   Put it all together
   Em7              A   A7sus4
   We can drive it home
                G
   With one headlight
 
Instrumental: G D Gb7 Bm A
 
Verse 3:
              G
She said it's cold
                  D
It feels like Independence Day
      Gb7                          Bm   A
And I can't break away from this parade
            G
But there's got to be an opening
D
Somewhere here in front of me
Gb7                               Bm    A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
               G
And I seen the sun up ahead
       D
At the county line Bridge
       Gb7                                 Bm   A
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
      G
We'll run until she's out of breath
    D
She ran until there's nothin' left
    Gb7                              Bm    A
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
 
Pre-Chorus:
G G Gb7 Gb7
         Hey hey
 
Chorus:
G
   Come on try a little

   Me & Cinderella

   Put it all together

Verse 4:
                   G
Well this place is old
                     D
It feels just like a beat up truck
           Gb7                            Bm   A
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
                  G
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
     D
This place is always such a mess
    Gb7                                Bm   A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
        G                              D
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
             Gb7                             Bm   A
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
     G                            D
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
  Gb7                                Bm  A
I think her death it must be killin' me
 
Pre-Chorus:
G G Gb7     Gb7
    Hey hey hey
