[Intro]
[D]La da da da [A]da da
[Bm]La da da da [F#m]da da
[Bm]La da da, [F#m]la da da, [Bm]la da da, [A]la da da
[D]La da da da [A]da da,
[Bm]La da da da [F#m]da da
[G]La da da [D]da da da, [A]La da da [D]da
[Verse 1]
[(D)]I was born [A]old
I grew [Bm]up but I got [F#m]younger
I was t[Bm]orn, and [F#m]cold
Now I?m [Bm]fine but there?s this [A]hunger
And a [G]thirst for the d[A]ays
Before [D]I went and r[F#m]azed it all
[G]To t[A]he g[D]round
[Verse 2]
Got a job, found God
I did everything they told me
Spoiled the child, spared the rod
And found someone new to hold me
Though the love?s not as real
As what I used to feel when it
All went wrong
[Cborus]
[D]La da da da [A]da da,
[Bm]La da da da [F#m]da da
[G]La da da [D]da da da, [A]La da da [D]da
[Verse 3]
She was young, not scared - she was everything I wanted
I was dumb, unprepared - had no idea that I was haunted
By the ghosts of a life the night I hid the knives
And it all went wrong
[Verse 4]
It?s an old wound, but it opened in a new way
In a rest room in a rest stop on the thruway
She calls up her parents
And admits with embarrassment
She was [Bm]wrong
[Bridge]
[G]Speaking of your [A]mother
[Bm]This is how it [A7]goes:
When the [G]world gets you d[A]own
I sup[Bm]pose
[Gm]You can fly [A7]away somewhere [Bm]else
[G]Of your own [A]volition
[Bm]Of your own [A7]accord
When you?re [G]sad, when you?re [A]angry
When you?re [Bm]bored,
You?ve [Gm]got to do what?s [A7]best for your[Bm]self
[G]Ooo ooo o[A]oooo ooo oo [D]oo oo oo oo o[Bm]o
[G]La da da da [A]dum
[Verse 5]
I awoke; you were gone
There was nothing left to hold onto
I was blind, I was wrong
But I could find you if I want to
So I fly to the coast where
The boys you love most
Sing into your eyes
[Verse 6]
I was lost, now I?m found
I can see, but miss the blindness
Here?s my cross; pound
It?s your mouth, your kiss, your kindness
My stigmata?s the regret for how
I could have let it all
Go so wrong
[Bridge 2]
I?m going [G]back to the [A]place
Where they l[D]aughed in my f[A]ace
When it [G]all [A]went
[D]All [Bm]went
[G]All [A]went [Bm]wrong
Yes it [G]all [A]went -
Isn?t t[D]his what you [Bm]wanted, darling?
[G]All [A]went...
[Cborus]
