He used to be a singer in a [Bm] rock and roll band He would write the songs and I'd tremble
[Am] at his hand But oh, [Bm] la la
He lost [Am] poetic ethic and [G] his songs [Am] were pathetic [A] He's a failure [G] now
And he used to be the life and soul of everyone [Bm] around You'd never catch him [G] looking up and
never see him [Am] down But oh, la [Bm] la
He couldn't raise a smile, no, not [Am] for a while And [A] he's a failure [G] now

Don't cry [Bm] child,
[C] got so much [D] more to live for
[G] Don't cry [B] child,
[C] got something [D] I would die for [G] And if it comes to the [Bm] rain, just [C] be glad
you'll smile [D] again
Cause so [G] many don't, [Bm] and so [C] many go [D] unnamed
[G] And people push right past me, shouting their exclaims
[D] A preacher pushes me aside, nasty, [Am] wash my sins I said no, [G] la la
He [Am] made me in his image, so he's a [G] failure too
And I used to need a couple people to keep my head down
[D] Now I need a whole lot more to keep me [Am] on the ground
But oh, [G] la la
