[Em] Oh, I'm the [Bm]
hardest [G] night of [C]
the year
[Em] [Bm] Lying in a [G] patch of glow
I [C] wrote a dangerous
A [Em] bottle of whiskey under my [D] arm
Trying to count a sky full of [G] stars
I dream of order, I dream of fleet Napoleon, [Em] Aquamarine
He said, Linus, put that blanket [D] down
You've slammed your door too many [G] times
He said, Linus, put that blanket down
Well, well, well, well, well Oh, boy
Oh, [B] what you gonna do if you're lying?
[D] Oh, boy, boy
Oh, [C] what you gonna do if you're [E] lying?
[Am] Oh, boy
Oh, [Bm] what you gonna do if you're lying?
[D] Oh, boy, boy
Oh, [Em] what you gonna do if you're lying?
When [Bm]
I was your age
[Em] I was the mountain, [C] mountain queen
[Em] When I [Bm]
was your age
[Em] I was a
In [C] victory
[Em] And now you can't keep a job
And you can't keep a [Bm] wife
What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your [C] life
Once twenty-ninety
American fools
Silly John Wayne, Brando, or Jens [Em] Dean
Waiting so long for your lips to get [Bm] big
Waiting so long for the next great [C] party
So many questions, so little to say
He said, Linus, wait
Oh, boy
Oh, [Em] what you gonna do if you're lying?
[Bm] Oh, boy, boy
Oh, [C] what you gonna do if you're lying?
[Am] Oh, boy
Oh, [B] what you gonna do if you're lying?
Oh, boy, [Em] boy
Oh, what you gonna do if you're lying?
Say you [C] want to be an artist
[Bm] Want to be a singer
[D] Want to be remembered for [Em] what you could create
[Am] Want to be a cowboy [Bm] running through the distance
[D] Never had to listen or [Em] to do any worse
You [C] want to be a boss
[Bm] Somebody with your instincts, your [D] life, and your fists
And the [Em] quickness of your words
Are you [Am] bigger than these buildings [Bm] and the grey around you?
[D] Is your pain more worthy than [Em] everybody [C] else?
Won't you [Bm] carry me, won't you [D] carry [Em] [Am] [G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Em] me
[Am] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [Bm] [D]
