[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Abm] [Eb]
It doesn't take [Ab] a try, [Cm] all the smart [Eb] boys know why
It doesn't mean [Ab] I didn't try, [Cm] I just never [Eb] know why
You could [F] call me [Ab] all alone, [Cm] through baby or [Eb] not at [Ab] all
[Eb] And when [Ab] I'm old, [Cm] big deal [Eb] I'm still [Abm] alone
[Eb]
Pieces rest [Ab] with silence, [Cm]
beat my head [Eb] against the pole
Try to knock [Ab] some sense
[Cm] down in [Eb] my bones
And even though they [Ab] don't show, [Eb]
the sky's not so low
And when [Ab] they go,
[Cm] they [Eb] let you know
[Abm] You can't push [Bb] a hammer out [Eb] of memory
[Abm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Abm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] Don't try, [Bb]
don't [Eb] try
You're just a [F] bastard, [Ab]
dear, [C] and you got [Eb] no name
Cause you're living [Ab] with me, [Cm] we're one [Eb] and the same
And even though [Abm] they don't show, [Cm] the sky's [Ebm] not so low
And [Eb] [Ab] when they go, [Cm] they [G] let you [Eb] know
You [Bb] can't push a [Eb] hammer out of memory
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
[Abm] [Bb] [Eb]
