[C#]
I hold an image of the [F] ashtray girl, that cigarette burns on my chest.
[C#] I hold a poem that describes her [F] world, and put it by my chest to the text.
[A#] At late at night, while it's all over [F] the world, she's [G] still watching me as I sleep.
[F#] What's wrong with [C#] this night, child?
What's wrong with this night, child?
Farewell, the [F] ashtray girl.
[C#] Forbidden snowflake, beware this [F] troubled world.
Watch out, [A#] earthquake, goodbye to [Fm] open sores.
It's broken, [F#] it's sent forth.
You know we [C#] miss her.
We miss her [F#] pictures.
Sometimes we [C#] spade our hearts and [F#] play down the year of [C#] growing up.
[F#] Sometimes [C#] we spade our hearts and [F#] play down the year of [C#] growing up.
[A#m] Farewell, the [F] ashtray girl.
Angelic [C#] bookcase, beware this [F] troubled world.
Control your [A#] insides.
Goodbye to [Fm] open sores.
Goodbye [F#] and furthermore, you know we [C#] miss her.
We miss her [F#] pictures.
Sometimes we [C#] spade our hearts and [F#] play down the year of [C#] growing up.
[F#] Sometimes [C#] we spade our hearts and play down [F#] the year of [C#] growing up.
[F] [A#] Hang on, [F] the weeks fly.
[A#] It's gone.
[F] [A#] Hang on, [F] the weeks fly.
[A#] It's gone.
[F#] Sometimes we [C#] spade our hearts and play down [F#] the year of [C#] growing up.
[F#] Sometimes we [C#] spade our hearts and play down [F#] the year of [C#] growing up.
Can't stop growing old.
Can't stop growing old.
Can't stop growing old.
Can't stop growing old.
[F#] Can't stop growing old.
