Today
I wasted all away
As most men, say I rued the day
I spend my days to say
Just to waste away
Send in the horns!
Send in the horns!

So
Licking all my wounds
Drowning in monsoons
Alive at six o’clock
Dead by the next day
Send in the horns!
Send in the horns!

I never meant to grow into a child
I never meant to dance into the wild
I will wake up before all the clocks
None shall sleep

C E x2

I
I will not grow old
Just to bring the cold
I will die before
Life becomes a bore
Send in the horns!
Send in the horns!

Body
Lie over the sink
Up over the ocean
Sinking like a stone
Trying to get home
Send in the horns!
Send in the horns!

I can not wait to figure out just what
Lies beneath the deadly uppercut
When I do return back to God
None shall sleep

F C E x4

In your stories,
I am an aeroplane,
I’m so boring,
I just wanna be a train.

Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.
Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.

B A E x2

In your tree house,
Kept up on wooden beams,
I fell down the ropes,
And skinned both my knees.

Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.
Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.

B F# B A x4

Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.
Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.
Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.
Ah-ah-ah , oh-oh-oh, it’s a lot to come on your own.

Oh no, the kitchen is closed
If I feel it coming round, I?ll see it go
Oh, stop worrying about it, the mortgage is paid yeah the moneys well spent
Ohh ooh oh oh oh

And I will watch you go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there, watch out for your face to perspire

E A C#m x4

Go on telling me that I don?t need a job or a college degree
Throw up your caps and your gowns,
You?re sht out of luck you?re never leaving this town

Pay alms to your family tree they?ve given you everything you?ll ever need
Don?t take care and don?t even write
You?ll never see my face again after tonight
Ohh ooh oh oh oh

E A C#m x6

And I will watch you go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there, watch out for your face to perspire
Take everything that I ever lent to your closet
I?ll burn all your hangings around and threw out the locket

E A E A E A C#m A x2

How’d you never come to the thing by the bridge where we used to go out
House you never climbed till our clothes were all worn with our face in the dirt

So you?re stuck in the middle and you can?t get out
No one?s laughing, no crying out loud
You wanted something but you couldn?t get in
No one said we ever had to be friends

How?d you never leave that tired old car on the side of the road
Rocking to and fro, let?s grab all the box finish our drinks and we?ll go

And we’re stuck in the middle and you can?t get out
No one?s laughing, no crying out loud
You wanted something but you couldn?t get in
No one said we ever had to be friends

Everybody?s laughing at you as if you never gave them time
Because I think I told you it?s not your crime
Everybody?s looking at you as if you never served them wine
And I think I told you it?s the right time

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh x4

(end the last one on the F, not the Am)

I won’t fight I will not conquer
I won’t try to impress your mother
I will not dine out late with father
We won’t sip wine and talk to each other

I will not wait for you
I will not stay for you
I’m in the waiting pool
I’m in the waiting pool

Bm A E F# Bm A F#m x2

I won’t drink from sweetest goblets
I won’t break your sister’s habits
I cannot say why I am leaving
I cannot leave until the morning

I will not wait for you
I will not stay for you
I’m in the waiting pool
I’m in the waiting pool

D A E x4

I want it all away
I said I want it all away
I said I want it all away
I said I want it all
