Intro: G 

Where you come from 
             Em 
You learn to disappear 
                  C 
To cover up your fear 
     Em             D 
With punk rock and stuff 
                G 
When you were a kid 
                    Em 
You listened to The Clash 
                     C 
You learned to never ask 
           Em        D 
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 
                  C 
Not knowing what everything 
       Em   D 
Really was 
                         G 
She's the first girl you kissed 
                         Em 
She's the first girl you miss 
                         C 
When you're feeling like this 
                 Em    D 
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 
                 C 
It could've been worse 
                 Em    D 
It could've been worse 

Em C  D   Em  C  D 

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