C   Em

C
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Em
Of cigarette burns on my chest
C
I wrote a poem that described her world
Em
And put our friendship to the test
Am
And late at night whilst on all fours
Em
She used to watch me kiss the floor
F
What's wrong with this picture?
C
What's wrong with this picture?


[Verse]
C                      Em
Farewell the ashtray girl
                  C
Forbidden snowflake
                        Em
Beware this troubled world
                        Am
Watch out for earthquakes
                    Em
Goodbye to open sores
                  F
To broken semaphore
                   C
You know we miss her, we miss her picture


[Chorus]
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                   F
Disintegrated it
                     C
For fear of growing old
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                  F
Assassinated it
                      C
For fear of growing old


[Verse]
C                      Em
Farewell the ashtray girl
                  C
Angelic fruitcake
                        Em
Beware this troubled world
                        Am
Control your intake
                    Em
Goodbye to open sores
                  F
Goodbye and furthermore
                   C
You know we miss her, we miss her picture


[Chorus]
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                   F
Disintegrated it
                     C
For fear of growing old
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                  F
Assassinated it
                      C
For fear of growing old


[Interlude]
E     Am
Hang on
            E
Though we try
        Am
It's gone
E     Am
Hang on
            E
Though we try
        Am
It's gone


[Chorus]
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                   F
Disintegrated it
                     C
For fear of growing old
F                  C
Sometimes it's fated
                  F
Assassinated it
                      C
For fear of growing old


[Ending]
F                  C
Can't stop growing old
F                  C
Can't stop growing old
F                  C
Can't stop growing old
F                  C
Can't stop growing old
F
Can't stop growing old
