 G D F#7 Bm D/A
 G D F#7 Bm D/A
 
 [Verse 1]
 G                      D
 So long ago, I don't remember when
        F#7                          Bm     D/A
 That's when they say I lost my only friend
           G                       D
 Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
      F#7                           Bm    D/A
 As I listened through the cemetery trees
 
 [Interlude]
 G D F#7 Bm D/A
 
 [Verse 2]
            G                     D               
 I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
     F#7                      Bm  D/A
 The long broken arm of human law
        G                              D
 Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
   F#7                               Bm    D/A
 I wondered how she hung around this place
 
 [Pre-Chorus]      
 G G F#7 F#7
          Hey 
 
 [Chorus]
 G
    Come on try a little
 D
    Nothing is forever
 Em7                    A
    Got to be something better than
 
    In the middle
 G
    Me & Cinderella
 D
    Put it all together
    Em7              A   A7sus4
    We can drive it home
                 G
    With one headlight
 
 [Instrumental]
 (G) D F#7 Bm D/A
 
 [Verse 3]
               G
 She said it's cold
                   D
 It feels like Independence Day
       F#7                          Bm   D/A
 And I can't break away from this parade
             G
 But there's got to be an opening
 D
 Somewhere here in front of me
 F#7                               Bm    D/A
 Through this maze of ugliness and greed
                G
 And I seen the sun up ahead
        D
 At the county line bridge
        F#7                                 Bm   D/A
 Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
       G
 We'll run until she's out of breath
     D
 She ran until there's nothin' left
     F#7                              Bm    D/A
 She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
 
 [Pre-Chorus]      
 G G F#7 F#7
          Hey hey
 
 [Chorus]
 G
    Come on try a little
 D
    Nothing is forever
 Em7                    A
    Got to be something better than
 
    In the middle
 G
    Me & Cinderella
 D
    Put it all together
    Em7              A   A7sus4
    We can drive it home
                 G
    With one headlight

 [Verse 4]
                    G
 Well this place is old
                      D
 It feels just like a beat up truck
            F#7                            Bm   D/A
 I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
                   G                                       
 Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
      D
 This place is always such a mess
     F#7                                Bm   D/A
 Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
         G                              D
 I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
              F#7                             Bm   D/A
 Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
      G                            D           
 But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
   F#7                                Bm  D/A
 I think her death it must be killin' me
 
 [Pre-Chorus]      
 G G F#7     F#7
     Hey hey hey
 
 [Chorus]
 G
    Come on try a little
 D
    Nothing is forever
 Em7                    A
    Got to be something better than
 
    In the middle
 G
    Me & Cinderella
 D
    Put it all together
 Em7
    We can drive it home
 A     (A7sus4)  G D Em7 A
    With one headlight
 
 [Outro]
 G D Em7 A
