Em                          C    
Children broadripple is burning
G
And the girls are getting sick
Of huffing glue up in the bathroom
While their boyfriends pick up chicks.

And darling, I'm lost, I heard you whispering
That night in Fountain Square.
The trash-filled streets made me wish
We were headed home

And there was love inside the basement
Where that woman used to lie
In a sleeping bag we shared
Upon the floor most every night

And darling, I'm drunk
And everything that I have loved
Has turned to stone
So pack your bags and come back home

        Em              C
And I'm wasted, you can taste it
      G       G/F#     Em
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I will haunt you like a ghost

And if my woman was a fire
She'd burn out before I wake
And be replaced by pints of whiskey
Cigarettes and outer space

Then somebody moves
And everything you thought you had
Has gone to shit
But we've got a lot, don't ever forget that

And I wrote this on an airplane
Where the people looked like ants
And when a woman that you loved is gone
She's bombing east Japan

And don't fucking move
'Cause everything you thought you have
Will go to shit
We've got a lot, don't you dare forget that

And I'm wasted, you can taste it
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I will haunt you like a ghost

And I'm wasted, you can taste it
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I will haunt you like a ghost
