Intro (x4): A Dbm Verse: A Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm You had to know I wanted D A Something from you then Bm E Too young to know just what it was A D Something more than a friend A D - E Is that you at the end Verse: Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) Where you play in the street at night Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) Blown like a broken kite Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) My girl, you're giving up the fight A Dbm G Are you gonna let these Americans E Put another dent in your life? Interlude (x2): A Dbm A Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) But, you play in the street at night Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) Blown like a broken kite Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) My girl, you're giving up the fight Gbm E Bm D (D - E) You'll have to lose all them childish notions A Dbm G If you're gonna let these American boys E Put another dent in your life Instrumental (x4): Bm Bm E Verse: Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) you play in the street at night Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) Blown like a broken kite Gbm - E Bm D (D - E) My girl, you're giving up the fight Gbm E Bm D (D - E) You'll have to lose all them childish notions A Dbm G Or you're gonna let these Americans E Put another dent in your life Outro (x7): A Dbm This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
