Em
You learn to disappear
                  D
To cover up your fear
                  C
With punk rock and stuff
                G
When you were a kid
                    Em
You listened to The Clash
                     D
You learned to never ask
                   C
Where your daddy was

Em                   C             D 
Once more around the old main drag
Em                          C                      D
They never said it but they thought you were a fag
Em                      C             D
Some people push till a kid goes boom
Em                    C                D
Late at night it got dark in your room


                  G
Ah your love in a car
                 Em
You promised her everything
                  D
Not knowing what everything
          C
Really was
                         G
She's the first girl you kissed
                         Em
She's the first girl you miss
                         D
When you're feeling like this
                     C
Broke and in the dark

Em                    C           D
Her blonde hair was a setting sun  (sun) Oh
Em              C           D
Her mascara was born to run   (run) Oh
Em                      C               D
You got scared when she started to show  (show) oH
Em                   C              D
One more thing you'd have to let go

                 G
It could've been worse
                 Em
It could've been worse
                 D
It could've been worse
                     C
It could've been worse

Em C  D   Em  C  D

                     G
So you stood on that bridge
                Em
Overlooking old crappy town
                        D
Snow was falling slowly all around
                           C
You smoked a quick cigarette
               G
But I'll never believe
                         Em
That you jumped and just ended there
                              D
The note you left read, "Look everywhere"
                    C
"You'll never bury me"

Em             C                  D
A stereo and a pile of cassettes  (cassettes)  Oh
Em                          C                   D
That dirty mirror where you used to get dressed  (Dressed) Oh
Em                      C                     D
There you stood getting tight with your scars  Oh  Oh
Em                    C             D
Some broken chords on cheap guitar

                 G
It could've been worse
                 Em
It could've been worse
                 D
It could've been worse
                    C
It could've been worse
                 G
It could've been worse
                 Em
It could've been worse
                 D
It could've been worse
                   C
It could've been worse
